Matt Hardy has had a lengthy career with numerous reinventions. While fans may have their own opinions on which persona was their favorite, the veteran himself recently declared which alter-ego was the best.
Throughout his career, Hardy has had a significant amount of different gimmicks. Especially when he left WWE, the veteran was allowed to let his creative juices flow in TNA and ROH, where he reinvented himself multiple times.
In a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the wrestling veteran named his Version One persona as his best gimmick.
"But I think the best version of me was when I did Matt Hardy Version One because I think that was the first time I really stepped away from the Hardy Boyz. And they’re like, Wow, this guy can do something on his own."
