In this month's issue of WOW Magazine Thomas Chamberlin had a chance to speak with the Hardy Boys, two wonderful athletes. To read the complete interview, get yourself a copy of the new WOW Magazine!

Thomas Chamberlin: You guys put on some of the most unbelievable matches this year, such as the table match at Royal Rumble on Jan. 23 and the ladder match at Wrestlemania on April 2. How can you guys continue to top yourselves?
Matt Hardy: It is hard when you've been on the road several days in a row, and your body is hurting. You have to tough it out and go out there and do it again. But then you start thinking about where you cam from and start thinking about all those fans who have paid to see you, and you just suck it up and do it.
Jeff Hardy: When we're gone for so long on the road, it gets kind of depressing, and sometimes we may not want to go out there and try to top ourselves. It's at that point when you start thinking about how many people would kill to be in your position. That's pretty good motivation.

Thomas Chamberlin: Aside from the motivation of having to perform almost every night, how is it physically possible to perform with the moves you do and the risks you take?
Matt Hardy: You don't ever get really healthy. You always stay beat up. One day i's a shoulder; the next day it's an arm. You'll have a bruise. I'd love to have four or five straight days off. I haven't had more than two days off, ever. But that's when you have to realize where you are and how many people would like to take your place.
Jeff Hardy: I (worked) with a bad shoulder for a while. Before that it seemed like it was something else. I can't lie; it doesn't always feel good to get out there physically.

Thomas Chamberlin: Have you reached a point where you have had to consider if it is all worth it physically?
Jeff Hardy: Yeah, you think about it. Well, with us, probably not that much. We just do what we've always done.
Matt Hardy: There was a point where we were both burned out. We both needed a little break. During that time, I thought about that a little. You give it your all at every house show, every event and you constantly stay sore. Maybe because I'm a little older than Jeff, I think about that more, but we both know the risks that are involved in the ring. Sometimes we test those limits, but we still know they are there. We know that every match could be out last. But that's why we give it our all regardless of how we feel. We know that if we show some weakness, there could be another team right there ready to take our spot.

Thomas Chamberlin: Both of you guys are young, but you've both been around the business for a while. How did you get started?
Matt Hardy: We were wrestling fans just like a lot of kids growing up. We read all the newsletters and magazines and anything else we could get our hands on. Our parents got us a trampoline for Christmas when I was 13 and Jeff was 11. We cut down some trees around our house and built a ring. Then we just started emulating what we saw the guys on TV doing. There was this one guy who ran some wrestling shows around the area. He saw us in that ring one day, and there we went. That was when I was 18 and Jeff was 16. Neither one of us had ever been in the ring in a real match until we met The Italian Stallion. He took us to the WWF, and in the seventh match of my career, when I was 18, I jobbed to Nikita Koloff. Matt was only 16, but they put him out there, and he did the job to Scott Hall. From there we wrestled at carnivals and met as many people as we could.

Thomas Chamberlin: The attire you wear is certainly interesting. You have been known to make your own ring attire. While you may not do a lot of that now, how much of it is still own doing?
Jeff Hardy: I still do some of mine. I take pantyhose and cut them up to make my arm covers. I've been doing that for a long time.
Matt Hardy: When we first started, we both made our own clothes. We didn't have anyone to do it for us, and we wanted to have a special look so we just made everything. We don't have to that anymore, but we still have some influence on what we want to wear.

Thomas Chamberlin: You guys have worked against each other, with each other and recently with Lita. Describe each other's style in the ring and what Lita brings to you.
Matt Hardy: Lita will try anything just like us. She's young like we are, and she's a lot of fun to work with because she can do almost anything in the ring. With us, I'm more of the grounded style, while Jeff is the aerial guy. Jeff may be the most physically talented person we have. There isn't anything in the ring he can't do. He's fearless.
Jeff Hardy: I like Matt's style, because he's king of the leader. He's the base of our team. Matt does a lot of dirty work while I do the high-flying stuff. It makes for a great team.

Thomas Chamberlin: Now that you've complimented each other, who would win in a fight?
Matt Hardy: I'm older. I always won when we were little, and I still win now, even on TV.
Jeff Hardy: (laughing) That's not always true. I get my shots in. Just wait until we go again.
