Book Description

March 18, 2003

Matt and Jeff Hardy have proven that a relentless drive for success can make your wildest dreams come true. While still in high school, Matt and Jeff decided to become professional wrestlers at any cost. In a business that usually prizes giants, they were told their aspirations were unreasonable and impossible. But after the tragic loss of their mother, they began to pursue their goals with unstoppable determination.

The Hardy Boyz: Exist 2 Inspire tells the story of Matt and Jeff Hardy's journey to WWE superstardom. Whether taking beatings from Razor Ramon and Nikolai Volkoff during their first WWE matches or winning the WWE Tag Team Championships against the Acolytes, the Hardy Boyz have experienced all the pains and pleasures that sports-entertainment has to offer. Their fast-moving, high-flying ring style has raised the bar for anyone who aims to follow in their footsteps.

From receiving a standing ovation for their 1999 No Mercy ladder match against Edge and Christian to winning singles championships, Matt and Jeff have succeeded both as a team and as individuals. Still in their mid-twenties, the Hardyz have long careers ahead of them. The Hardy Boyz is the inspirational true story of two small-town North Carolina boys who clawed their way to the top of the magical world of professional wrestling and achieved their childhood dreams.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ten times better than what I was expecting..., April 4, 2003
By 
This review is from: The Hardy Boyz: Exist 2 Inspire (Hardcover)
I was expecting a WWE/WWF fluff piece similar to most WWE-published biographies and books that I've read before, sprinkled with some stories, supposedly written by the superstars themselves but we all just KNOW the ghostwriter wrote most of it himself and liberally changed the facts as needed.

I was totally wrong here.

This book is fantastic. It pulls NO punches with anything, as the brothers are refreshingly honest throughout the entire book. It's obvious that whomever helped the brothers write this took a backseat and just recorded what Matt and Jeff had to say, and the result is an extremely interesting look at the wrestling business and how two fans managed to make it big in the business. I was also SHOCKED at how honest they were with everything. From being critical of their fellow wrestlers, to each other and their friends...the boys pulled zero punches here. The result is, in my opinion, the best book the WWF/WWE has had published since Mick Foley's two biographical books.

If you're a wrestling fan, you definetly want this. Non wrestling fans might not be as into this book as they may have been upon giving Foley's books a try, which is my only real criticism of the book itself, but then again the market is so saturated with wrestling biographies as opposed to when Have a Nice Day came out that one really cannot knock the book for this. But for wrestling fans, marks and smart marks alike, this is a wonderful book. For wrestling fans - my highest recommendation!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best I have ever read, July 7, 2004
By 
This review is from: The Hardy Boyz: Exist 2 Inspire (Hardcover)
I have made it a goal in my life to actually read as many wrestling biographies as there are. No matter who it is or what its about. I choose to read them even if Im not a fan of the wrestler. Well Im not a big fan of the Hardy Boy Characters but I am a huge fan of what they can do. They can bring a unique style of wrestling to the ring and this is definently a good book.

When I picked up this book I couldnt put it down. I honestly read it in 2 days it was so good. Mind you I only had to put it down to watch wrestling and go to school. Other than that I was reading this book and it was one of the most interesting things I have ever read. The book details on how the Hardys grew up and how they started with there own little promotion. It tells about the good times and the bad times.

I love the aspect of the book on how instead of being one long read its more of a script. You get to hear the story from both Matt and Jeff's thoughts and its interesting to see where they agree and where they dont.

I insist to everyone out there who is a wrestling fan that they need to pick this book up. Trust me you wont be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome Book, April 12, 2003
By 
Greg (Staten Island, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hardy Boyz: Exist 2 Inspire (Hardcover)
This was probably the best wrestling book since Mick "Mankind" Foley's books came out. This not typical WWE thick and through like the last few books. This book did not dissapoint at all.

I never realized all that Matt & Jeff went through to become WWE superstars.

They were totally honest from relationships out of the ring to Jeff losing his passions/becoming burnt out of the wrestling book.

Both Hardy's have become 2 of my favorite wrestlers after reading this.

If you are thinking of purchasing a wrestling book I would suggest this one.

I originally got this for my sister since she loves the Hardy's especially Jeff but I ended finishing another book and just wanted to read a few pages and I wound up reading this book in 2 days.
