Matt Hardy recently reached a significant milestone in pro wrestling as he completed 30 years in the business. In celebration of this remarkable achievement, AEW World Tag Team Champions The Acclaimed played a prank on Hardy.
During his storied career, The Broken One has featured in numerous memorable storylines and won championships across different promotions. He is currently signed to AEW alongside his brother and tag team partner Jeff Hardy.
During the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, the former TNA Heavyweight Champion celebrated his milestone in professional wrestling. Meanwhile, The Acclaimed thanked Hardy for being an inspiration, as Anthony Bowens mentioned how he grew up watching The Hardys.
"Max [Caster] and I want to congratulate you on 30 years in the business. That’s absolutely insane for me it’s super special because I was a huge Hardy Boyz fan growing up. I loved you, I loved Jeff [Hardy]. I still love you and it’s an honor to call you a friend, it’s an honor to call you a co-worker,” Anthony Bowens said. [52:58 - 53:13]
Max Caster then mockingly pointed to a pickup truck and mentioned that The Acclaimed got Hardy a Toyota Tundra. He added that the legend could pick it up at the Toyota showroom in Charlotte, North Carolina.
