However, Matt also added that WWE veterans believed that the Hardy Boyz will not be able to wrestle by their 40s because of their extreme style.
“Luck. So many people who were the [WWE] Vets at the time, when we first started wrestling, and the style, we wrestled, which is almost like the modern-day style today, and especially doing all the ladder matches and table matches, and TLC matches, so many people thought, ‘oh my God, you’re not gonna be able to, you know, walk by the time you’re 40,’ or whatever it was, you know, because we did so much more than they did back in the day.”

“So I think between just like, taking care of ourselves, and just also luck is one of the things well, we’ve both been very lucky and just trying to be smart with our decision making about really, when to take the calculated risk and when not to,” he said.
