Poetry In Motion.
  • The entirety of Jeff's Undisputed Championship ladder match with Undertaker in July 2002. It was an obvious mismatch, but Jeff used his ladder match mastery over Taker (who was entering his first) for all it was worth, coming within INCHES of claiming the belt for himself. Special mentions go to two major moments in the match:
    • Jim Ross's iconic call of "CLIMB THE LADDER, KID! MAKE YOURSELF FAMOUS!!"
    • Jeff's post-match Determinator moment where he gets up after taking a Chokeslam off the top of a ladder, only to receive a Last Ride from Undertaker. Then Jeff gets up from that and screams into the mic in a broken voice, "You haven't broken me, Taker!" Undertaker responded to that... by patting Hardy on the head, raising his arm, and deeming him 'one tough son-of-a-bitch'.
  • 5 words: SWANTON. OFF. THE RAW. TITANTRON. (Even if he missed.)
  • He of all people giving Vince Mcmahon "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the point it sent Vince to a Villainous BSoD after his humiliation in Raw's 15th Anniversary last week before.
    Jeff: Dude, we don't want to hate on you, man, but you don't give us a choice. You don't give a damn about anyone. Which is why, no one gives a damn about you.
  • Armageddon 2008: Jeff wins in a Triple Threat match with Triple H and Edge to capture the WWE title that's eluded him for years.
    • In a moment of Laser Guided Karma, he pinned Edge to do it, which probably made the moment a bit better for Matt.
  • In 2008, Jeff interrupted one of the Undertaker's creepy coffin based promos, topped it with his terrifying corpse painted visage, challenged Taker to an Extreme Rules match, and WON said match (even if the Big Show did help a bit). Damn.
  • More awesome for the person doing it, Edge, but receiving a Spear 20-plus feet in the air at WrestleMania X-Seven, one of the most iconic moments in an already iconic WrestleMania.
  • At SummerSlam 2009, in the TLC match with CM Punk, Jeff delivered a Swanton Bomb from the top of the ladder on Punk through a broadcast table (the page image).
  • In 2011, climbing back up from total rock bottom, getting clean, growing up and starting a family. A lot of addicts won't even admit they have a problem, but Jeff solved his the first time he actually tried.
  • Wrestlemania 33: In the climax of the Ladder match for the RAW Tag Team titles, Jeff performs a swanton bomb off a 20 foot ladder on Cesaro and Sheamus on top of another ladder. This allows his brother Matt to climb up the ladder and win the titles, giving Jeff his first-ever win at Wrestlemania.
    • In addition, Jeff is now the second person to win all eligible titles of the original Grand Slam format (the first being Chris Jericho). Like Jericho, the likelihood of this ever happening again is extremely slim (and in fact may be impossible due to events such as retirement and death removing possible candidates) as the World Heavyweight, original Tag Team, Hardcore, and European titles are no longer active.
    • Another addendum: the Wrestlemania ladder match was the second ladder match in as many nights for the brothers, as they defended—and lost—their Ring of Honor tag titles against the Young Bucks at Supercard of Honor.
  • On April, 16th 2018, Jeff defeated Jinder Mahal to capture the United States Championship to become the second person (again, after Chris Jericho) to complete the current Grand Slam format after completing the original format separately.
  • On April, 8th 2018, the Hardy Boyz beating The Usos and winning the Smackdown Tag Team Championship and thus becoming the first team to win all three versions of the tag team championshipsnote .
  • What's even more awesome is the fact that Jeff Hardy is welcomed back into the company. With his known history of drug use and that infamous match he had with Sting at Victory Road, him turning his life around and the WWE rehiring him is not only a career achievement for Jeff but a Heartwarming Moment for the WWE.
  • July 19th, 2021. A minor example but Jeff finally gets to use "No More Words" as his entrance theme again!
