10 Things We Learned From Matt Hardy’s Reddit AMA

8. The Inspiration For The Hardy Boyz Look

It€™s a simple point, but Hardy revealed the inspiration behind his and brother Jeff€™s iconic ring attire of mesh shirts and rave pants that they adopted in the late €˜90s before their rise to success. The WWE had told the pair that they wanted them to €œbe darker and more serious€, so the Hardys took the opportunity to interpret that direction as €œKikWear pants and tight shirts€. That look also lead to logistical concerns, thanks to the high number of pockets in the cargo pants. Asked whether he had to be diligent about removing everything from his pants before hitting the ring, Hardy offered the following morsel: €œI always put my hair-tie in my right pocket of my pants before wrestling--that's a strict ritual of mine. I was one time about to make a coffee & had my match bumped up to be earlier. After taking a superplex, there was packets of Sweet N Low in the ring that I'd never taken out to put in my coffee.€
