Magic Outside The Ring

What do you get when you mix a few fun-loving wrestlers, quite a few scenic backgrounds, an eclectic group of transitional characters, and a few wild parties? If blended with just the right amount of humor and style you get one of my favorite things on the web today—The Hardy Show.

It started out life as The Matt Hardy Show—but then became The Hardy Show when Jeff took a more prominent role. These guys are about half insane—and it is a pleasure to watch them. They do some crazy stuff, and some stuff I can’t say I would recommend anyone else trying, but they always manage to pull it off. Not only is it great to see two of our most beloved wrestlers enjoying themselves, its pretty darn cool to get an insider’s view of their homes, property, belongings, and on a few rare occasions their feelings.

Shannon Moore is definitely one of the show’s brightest stars. He has made me laugh out loud many, many times. If he ever decides to stop wrestling he could do any form of stand up or slapstick comedy with great success. The man is a riot and any episode he is in is sure to be a free-wheeling good time. Some of my very favorite episodes are “The Egg Duel”, “SFB”, “Stars and Strikes”, “Pig Pickin’”, “Donkey Business”, and the “Y-Light Zone”.

Another regular I love to see is Matt and Jeff’s Dad, “The Legend” Claude G. Most of the time he just shows up at random, and you can see both the Hardys clearly worship their father. I enjoy him on the show; he seems like such a sweetheart and is always ready with one of his jokes. He can play a pretty mean guitar as well.

Matt’s home and car are exquisite, and anyone with a heart can’t help falling in love with his dog Lucas. Jeff’s artwork is both amazing and moving, I adore it when they show them and he explains what they are about. The land they are on is really awesome, they were so fortunate to have grown up on such vast and wild acreage. It is cool to see where they played as boys as well as the homemade wrestling rings they honed their craft in. Their story is truly an inspiration to not only wrestling fans, but to anyone who has dreams they harbor in their heart.

The show does have adult language, and some of the antics could be questionable for very young viewers. The site does carry the appropriate warning. I applaud Matt for taking what is such a simple idea and making it such a great success. It is truly giving the fans what they want, a chance to see their heroes as regular people. I wish more WWE stars would follow in their innovative footsteps. Matt and Jeff Hardy are both well known for their enchanting feats as a pair of high-flying daredevil wrestlers; but when they step in front of the camera on The Hardy Show they are making just as much magic outside the ring.

Keelan’s Call:
People often say that the one thing the Hardy Boyz lack is character and verbal skills, but judging from The Hardy show that simply isn’t the case. The true standout performers in wrestling aren’t gimmicked (other than perhaps the Undertaker) and are just blown up versions of their real life personalities – and if the Hardyz took this to the ring then they’d be even more over than they are now. As for Shannon Moore, well his career drop off is just a shame.
