Jeff Hardy made his return to TNA earlier this year and in a very short time, he has reminded fans why he remains one of the most charismatic stars in professional wrestling. He had a classic match at Bound for Glory last month and has revealed his creative involvement in the match as well.
At TNA Bound for Glory, The Hardys had the chance to remind everyone why they’re legends in pro wrestling. In a wild Full Metal Mayhem match for the TNA Tag Team Championship, they took on The System and ABC, with all three teams giving it their best to win.
From start to finish, the action was intense, with each team going all out. In the end, Matt and Jeff Hardy emerged victorious, claiming the TNA Tag Team Championships. For fans of classic tag team wrestling, this win added to the legacy of The Hardys, making it clear they’re still a force in the ring.
While speaking on the Rewind Recap Relive podcast, Jeff Hardy talked about his creative work for the Full Metal Mayhem match at Bound for Glory. He explained how he suggested the idea to Tommy Dreamer, who liked it, even though it was a lot to prepare. Hardy asked for seven tables, ten ladders, though they only had five or six, and about eight chairs.
According to Jeff Hardy, the biggest job was the canvas. He hung it up himself and painted it over ten days, showing the process in a time-lapse on Instagram. He’s proud of bringing his vision to life. Hardy also mentioned that his brother Matt Hardy came up with the “reimagined” idea, which was a perfect fit for the match. He hinted they might do another reimagined version of Full Metal Mayhem sometime in the future.
“Yeah, I just pitched the idea to Tommy Dreamer, and he liked it. I knew it was going to be a lot of work. Then I told him, like, seven tables. I asked for, like, ten ladders at first, but they only got, you know, five or six. And then, uh, eight chairs, I think it was. The canvas was the big job. I hung it by myself and painted it all by myself over the course of ten days. I time-lapsed it all on my Instagram. So yeah, I’m super proud of that—to see it, to bring it to life. And Matt came up with the reimagined idea, which fit perfectly. Hopefully, who knows? We might do another Full Metal Mayhem reimagined before it’s all said and done.”
Matt and Jeff Hardy have already celebrated their big title win and now they are focused on defending their tag team titles as much as possible. Jeff Hardy’s artistic involvement in the match truly made things even more memorable, and fans will always appreciate him for what he does inside and outside the squared circle.
