#3 The New Foundation

Jim Neidhart and Owen Hart
Jim Neidhart and Owen Hart

After Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart split up in WWE as the Hart Foundation in 1991, both members focused on their singles careers.

In November 1991, Neidhart had a match against Ric Flair on WWE TV in which he was “injured” after suffering the figure four leg lock. As he exited the ring, the Beverly Brothers made their entrance for a tag team match and jumped Neidhart. When Neidhart returned about a month later, he returned with Owen Hart as back-up.

They formed a team dubbed The New Foundation. However, the duo were short-lived due to Neidhart being released from the company in February 1992, just three months after the formation of the team.

Jim Neidhart and Owen Hart first teamed in WWE as The New Foundation

The New Foundation is probably most remembered for their unique parachute pants attire and brightly colored jackets, but should also be remembered for being a solid team that worked well together in the ring and made a lot of sense storyline-wise as well.

Owen and Neidhart had only one pay-per-view appearance as a team, but it was a great match with The Orient Express (more on them later) at the 1992 Royal Rumble that is still talked about in fan circles today.
