Matt Hardy Offered To Shorten His Name In WWE

Matt Hardy is a proper veteran in the world of professional wrestling, as he has competed all over the world throughout his career. Hardy has a lot of knowledge of the industry and is aware of how much it has changed as well. He also offered to shorten his name in WWE.

In 2002, Jeff Hardy started his own singles career on Monday Night RAW. On the other hand, Matt Hardy was not featured as much on WWE television as Vince McMahon thought fans may get confused if WWE pushed two stars known as Hardy.

While speaking on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, Matt Hardy talked about the time he offered to shorten his name in the company.

“He told me, he said, ‘We’ll do something.’ I said, ‘Dude, I’ll do whatever. If you want me to turn on Jeff so I’ll become heel, or we can call me maybe Matthew. We can remove the Hardy name where we have something different so it’s not confusing, like two Hardyz.
