Sami Zayn Praises The Hardy Boyz – ‘They Were So Pivotal To My Whole Life’

During a recent appearance on WWE’s ‘The Bump,’ Sami Zayn praised Matt and Jeff Hardy as two of his earliest inspirations in his wrestling career. Additionally, Zayn commented on the value he gained from watching the Hardys, and more.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On his first inspirations in the wrestling industry: “If we go really young, I love Demolition. Really, it was the Hardy Boyz. Actually, they were so pivotal to my whole life. They came into my world at an age where even the idea of becoming a wrestler, or training to become a wrestler, was not possible at all. I was just so inspired by them because it seemed like younger and smaller guys [had a chance].”

On the value he gained from watching the Hardys: “They were doing their stuff in the backyard. I gravitated towards them. They were massive inspirations on me — in my late fanhood and early years of wanting to be a wrestler, and training to become a wrestler.”
