Jeff Hardy Compares Himself to WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Steamboat: “It’s Hard to Make People Hate Me”

Jeff Hardy is making headlines once again with his honest take on fan loyalty. The wrestling legend says it’s nearly impossible to get crowds to boo him these days, no matter how hard he tries for a heel turn in 2026.

In a fresh interview, Jeff Hardy compared his spot to WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Steamboat. “I am kind of in that Ricky Steamboat category. It’s hard to make people hate me,” Jeff Hardy declared. He added hopes of leaning into a cockier side with the Hardy Boyz this year.

Jeff Hardy wants to blur those face-heel lines. The plan involves claiming GOAT status with real confidence, creating that middle-ground character fans might cheer or jeer lightly.

Meanwhile, bigger moves could be ahead. The Hardy Boyz are in constant negotiations with WWE, with Matt noting they will do more appearances before 2026 ends, though TNA remains priority one.

As reigning TNA World Tag Team Champions for the fourth time, Jeff Hardy and Matt focus on elevating the brand. They’re mentoring a standout 21-year-old English talent and feuding with a mysterious new tag team.

Jeff Hardy also touched on home life, revealing his daughter asked if he still thinks about “getting that ring one day.” Family moments like this highlight why the veteran keeps pushing forward.
