Signature

The team's calling card was Poetry in Motion, with one brother launching off the other into a cornered opponent, and Jeff's Swanton Bomb delivered from ladders and the tops of cages. Their ladder and TLC matches against Edge and Christian and the Dudley Boyz built the Tables, Ladders and Chairs concept that WWE still runs today.

The Hardyz helped define an era where the tag division could headline. Both brothers went on to singles runs and world-title reigns, then kept returning to the team fans grew up on.
