Mattthew Moore Hardy (born September 23, 1974 in Cameron, North Carolina) is a professional wrestler performing for World Wrestling Entertainment on the RAW brand. He performs as Matt Hardy - Version 1.0.

Before his then-WWF debut with his brother Jeff, Matt was trained by former wrestler Dory Funk, Jr. They formed an acrobatic tag team called the Hardy Boyz. Although they had several managers during their tag team run, the five-time WWE Tag Team Champions were most prominently accompanied to the ring by Lita. Hardy and Lita were an off-screen couple for six years, and used to share a home in North Carolina. Unfortunately, their romance came to an end in the late February of 2005 (according to Matt's official website) due to Lita's affair with fellow WWE superstar Adam Copeland (who performs as Edge).

On the August 12, 2002 episode of "RAW", Matt turned against Jeff, pitting him in a match against Rob Van Dam. A short time later he joined the "SmackDown!" roster. On the October 3, 2002 edition of the show, Matt used outside interference from Brock Lesnar to defeat The Undertaker.

With his new friend Shannon Moore in his corner, Matt defeated Billy Kidman at the 2003 No Way Out in Montreal, Quebec to claim the WWE Cruiserweight Championship and, at Wrestlemania XIX in Seattle, defended it against Rey Mysterio.

As Matt Hardy "Version 1.0," he has enlightened his fans weekly on RAW with an always-expanding set of Mattifacts. Presented below are some selections.
