Legends of today: 10 active wrestlers who are already legendary

#6 Matt Hardy

Prior to adopting his 'broken/woken' character, Matt Hardy was thought of as a capable and marketable mid-carder, and nothing more while his brother Jeff was considered main event talent. Had he not become Broken Matt Hardy, he likely would not have made it onto this list in spite of his numerous accolades.

The Broken character showcased Matt's supreme understanding of wrestling psychology. Every wrestling critic and promoter thought it was doomed to fail, even Impact who ultimately took a chance on Hardy's vision. It paid off tremendously and helped wrestling evolve into the modern era.

Why he's a legend: Matt's longevity, technical skill, rabid fan base, and innovative and creative drives place him firmly in the category of living legend.
