Jeff Hardy started out as a jobber for the WWE during the 1990s. Not just Jeff Hardy but his brother Matt Hardy as well. But, for the purpose of this list – since we’re only talking about former WWE Champions – we’ll stick to the younger Hardy.

The funny thing about this is that Hardy actually jobbed his first match when he was just 16 years old. He lied and claimed he was 18 in order to get the gig. Jeff Hardy wrestled under the moniker Keith Davis – the name of the scheduled jobber who backed out at the last minute – and jobbed to Razor Ramon in 1994.

After this illustrious start to his career, Jeff would make a name for himself as a tag team specialist with his brother Matt until single’s action came calling. He has collected 3 World Titles during his long career – 2 World Heavyweight Championships and 1 WWE Championship to have come full circle from his debut as a nobody.
