A couple of former WWE Superstars recently revealed that they are not thinking of retirement despite their age and injuries over the years. Matt and Jeff Hardy have been wrestling since the early 1990s and remain active in TNA Wrestling today as the company's current Tag Team Champions.
Matt debuted in 1992, while his younger brother began his journey two years later. They were signed by WWE in 1998 after years of working as enhancement talent for the company and across the independent scene. They went on to become one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history.
As individual stars, Matt and Jeff also had success, especially the younger Hardy brother, who won the WWE Championship in 2008. More than 30 years into their careers, The Hardy Boyz are not interested in hanging up their boots anytime soon.
"I think if you would have asked us this a couple years ago, maybe it would have. But this run in TNA, and the way we both feel physically, like (Jeff) said, these ice baths, the inflammation is down, and our bodies feel better, and it's a ritual we do every single morning when we get up, and we're definitely dedicated to it, it's in our routine, no doubt. Now, I don’t think so," Matt said on the Sports Guys Talking Wrestling podcast. [H/T: Fightful]

Jeff Hardy makes bold claim about John Cena in WWE
In the late 2000s, two of the biggest WWE Superstars on the roster were John Cena and Jeff Hardy. However, Cena was able to take it to the next level as Jeff battled personal demons and never reached his full potential.
Speaking to WFAA TV in Dallas recently, The Charismatic Enigma confidently claimed that he would have been a bigger star than Cena if he stayed clean:
"The way I was living life in my 20s and 30s, and if I was living life the way I’m living life now, oh my gosh, there’s no telling. I would probably be bigger than John Cena today. Because I was born with such a gift to be a pro wrestler. It just felt so natural, like I was totally created to do this thing," Jeff said. [H/T: WrestleZone]
At the age of 47, Jeff is past his prime but remains active with TNA Wrestling. Cena, on the other hand, is doing his year-long farewell tour.
