5 most influential wrestling families in WWE history

#3: The Hart Foundation

The family dominated the World Wrestling Federation in 1997 with WWF Champion Bret Hart as captain.

Stu Hart was already an accomplished wrestler before he became the father of a total of 12 children, so it come as no surprise that many of his children followed in their father's footsteps. The most successful of these offsprings is Bret 'Hitman' Hart, who would capture the WWF title on five occasions and two inductions into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Though he may never have held the WWF title like his brother, Owen Hart is similarly held in high regard, putting on entertaining matches throughout his entire career, before his tragic death in May 1999. Even those who did not start off as Harts would eventually enter the family, with Jim Neidhart and The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith having great success both as individuals and as a tag team.
