Former WWE Superstar Rusev recently revealed that he is done with pro-wrestling and is making a huge shift in his career. He announced that he is going to turn towards full-time streaming on Twitch and wishes to see his future in video-gaming.

Most recently, Rusev discussed his honest opinion on the Hardy Boyz and recalled a certain match in which he thought he had injured Jeff Hardy. He then revealed the details of everything that unfolded inside the ring on that day.

Rusev on working with Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy in WWE

Rusev revealed that he worked alongside Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy in the live events during the European tour. Talking about Matt Hardy, he said:

"I love Matt Hardy. I got the opportunity to work with him in Europe in live events. I love Matt Hardy. I thought I killed him twice, but he is a tough guy."

He then went on to talk about Jeff Hardy and said that sharing the ring with him was an honor. He also spoke about being a safe worker and how he wants his opponents to warn him if they are injured.

He recalled the time when he worked Jeff Hardy in Europe and went on to say that Jeff and Matt Hardy are 'living legends'. He enjoyed his time with both the Superstars and was happy that he got a chance to tag with them.

Rusev said that he takes pride in being a safe worker and always asks his opponents to raise their hands if anything unplanned happens. Rusev further revealed what happened in that match and how he was sitting, worried about eff Hardy. The latter's response certainly took Rusev by surprise, but he was left in awe of one-half of Hardy Boyz.

"So we are in Europe, and I always say put your hand up because I don't want to be responsible. I am pretty safe, but I don't want to be responsible. Better safe than sorry. And Jeff is like 'Oh yeah man, yeah no problem.'"
"And then comes the match. You have just hit someone right in the head. So you either gotta be really freaking good, or you want to tell them to protect themselves. So I am really f***ing good, but I tell my opponent to protect himself. So there he comes, the sequence starts, and there is a high kick. Bam! And Jeff, I told him to put his hands up, but he is Jeff Hardy.

Jeff Hardy didn't put up his hands and tied them behind his back instead. Rusev laughed while sharing this but at the time, he was concerned about Jeff Hardy sustaining a serious injury.

"You know he is immortal. So he does this with his hands (Rusev puts both his hands behind his back instead). Straight-down! My kick, I got him, man, I got him really good right on the head, and I went down to cover because you know he tumbled. And I thought okay, I will cover and one. On three, he barely kicks out, and I just sit there trying to figure out if he is alive, he is okay, if he is concussed, is he gonna keep going? But once again, he is Jeff Hardy, and nothing stops Jeff Hardy. So yeah, we kept going on with the match."

Rusev was one of the several Superstars released by WWE earlier this year. Earlier this month, he informed his fans that he has tested positive for COVID-19. Rusev now appears to be recovering well and is now focusing entirely on the live-streaming of his games.
