The Hardy Boyz Once Entered An OVW Show To "Nookie"

Matt and Jeff Hardy are emblematic of the Attitude Era of professional wrestling. Through daredevil antics, unique tag team offense, and their styling, The Hardy Boyz are one of the most iconic tag teams in all of wrestling, and are still going wild some thirty-odd years later.

Back in the day, long before WWE had their own in-house developmental system with NXT, the company's "farm team" was Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). Occasionally, the bigger name talent from the then-WWF would make an appearance, and the red-hot duo did just that one night in late 1999.

What makes this noteworthy is that they didn't have their signature entrance theme, the stock song "Loaded," but rather Limp Bizkit's "Nookie," which dropped as a single in June 1999, one week before the band's Significant Other dropped on June 22 of that year.

The elder Hardy brother Matt later took to Twitter/X to reminisce about the now-viral moment, though as this was in 1999 and the man's taken a few shots to the head in his decades-long career, the finer details were fuzzy...

And sure enough, the aggregate site Cagematch confirms Matt's assertion, as the Hardy Boyz took on OVW Southern Tag Team Champions Jason Lee and Rip Rogers, aka The Suicide Blondes, in a ladder on November 10, 1999. This would have been around one month after the brothers took on Edge and Christian in a star-making ladder match at WWF No Mercy.

Through the magic of YouTube, as well as some grainy camera footage, there is video of this match:

The Hardy Boyz are currently wrestling for Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling, where they were the most recent former World Tag Team Champions.
