this would make matt/jeff about the third or fourth longest serving full time guys on the current roster. but still DAMN

[Push R Truth]

Both Hardy's have been fired/let go/quit.


So it's not concurrent. Same with Micheals

[Michael Coello]

In Austin's book, he says his debut was against Scotty 2 Hotty.

[strykerdarksilence]

Yeah debuted against Scotty.

This was a few months in to his Ringmaster run.

Also noteworthy in this clip is at the beginning where they announce that later in the show it's Undertaker vs Isaac Yankem! It was a sign of things to come.

Interesting post with the dates. My best guess is that Raw aired after the Scotty match.

[Arturo Classico]

This video is awesome and filled with Wrestlecrap, first you have The Ringmaster, than you also have references to other Wrestlecrap like Billionaire Ted and Isaac Yankem. Plus also having Sunny. Awesome.

Also It's weird seeing Matt Hardy looking like that if they didn't say he was Matt Hardy I wouldn't have recognized him.

[Handsome Halfbreed]

Austin started working Hardy pretty stiff after he no sold the Thesz press. Those infamous elbows to that little bump at the back of your head probably got the message through.
But yeah awesome find especially looking at it now.
