3.0 out of 5 stars
Half-good, 29 Jul 2008
When I started watching wrestling with the Rumble in 2000, I was fascinated by the Hardy Boyz, or rather Jeff. Imagine my amazement when they were split from tag competition into singles on two different shows, and Matt was the one to become popular, while Jeff painted himself in day-glo before disappearing into obscurity. The two documentaries presented here reflect this split in talent perfectly. While the Matt disc is interesting, insightful and concise, the Jeff disc is rambling, showy and laughable.
Matt's story involves his early aspirations to become a promoter, as well as a performer. It deals with his early days in Jeff's shadow, to his rise to popularity as Version 1 and his messy breakup with Lita and falling out with Edge. It offers plenty of comments from many in the business, such as J.R. and friends Shannon Moore and Shane Helms. It details his brief firing and finishes with his US title reign and hints at bigger things for the future. Jeff's disc deals, primarily, with his stupid 'artwork'. His music, a cross between Gary Numan and NO TALENT, is hilarious. He talks, at length, about his aluminium sculptures and paintings. The disc handily glosses over the most interesting aspects of his career, mianly his drug abuse, release from WWE and his years wandering through the independents while his brother was appearing at Wrestlemanias. Theres little insight into his wrestling ambitions, influences, or even the profound influence he's had on a younger generation of competitors. All in all, he comes across as a bit of a fool. I don't know whether to blame WWE for focusing on this (as it allowed them not to feature their rival company, TNA) or Jeff for being so silly.
I didn't watch the matches but I'm sure they're entertaining enough. You never could fault the brother in-ring, especially back in the glory days of late '99- early 2000. But, as with most WWE DVD packages, this really fails to deliver on the gritty stuff, coming across more like a big love-in and glossing over anything remotely interesting. Worth a rent, but don't buy it.

Twist Of Fate: The Matt & Jeff Hardy Story, 1 May 2008
Matt Hardy was born to wrestle - from his earliest days in homemade rings he and his brother created through his unbelievable matches on SmackDown. The road to the top wasn't always smooth, including some behind-the-scenes battles with other superstars that spilled into the ring. This DVD tells Matt's complete story, and collects some amazing matches.

3.0 out of 5 stars
oh, 13 Jul 2009
The hardy boys have really lived their dream,wrestling fans from an early age,they now stand as two great single wrestlers after years as a tag team that mixed high risks with a good level of intensity.The two disc dvd could have been a three disc,one for matt,one for jeff and one for the hardy boys as they were a great tag team ,anyway,the disc about matt is all the more comprehensive,detailed,informative and most of all interesting it is the shining light in this compliation.
The jeff dvd is short and incoherent at times,almost messy,it offers little,we hear some of his music and it is no wonder he is unsigned,it rushes offer his time away from wwe but i was shocked to hear him mention tna on a wwe release,the extras on both discs are very good and contain some quality matches,worth a look but i feel it could have been better.
