Chad M. G. Hardy
Gen 6"Chad is often referenced as "Beast", a name that became associated with Hardy at around 12 years of age, when he began his competition career. As Chad won most of the competitions he entered, the reception employee at Chad's gym started calling him "Beast" every time he entered the premises. The name was quickly adopted by other members of the team and stuck to the athlete throughout his career."
