#4 The Hitman: Bret Hart
Stu’s most famous protégé and son is no doubt Bret Hart, who would not only become one of the most technically proficient wrestlers who ever lived, but also world champion in WWE and WCW, and a particularly popular wrestler internationally.
Indeed, while many Hart family members from Bret’s generation became stars in WWE, Hart was the lone one to reach the highest levels of the business as a main event fixture for the largest wrestling companies in the world. Tragically, his career was cut short during a disappointing stint with WCW that included concussion issues.

Hart would add a coda to his career in 2010, getting back in the WWE ring for several carefully protected appearances, including a WrestleMania match with Vince McMahon, beating The Miz for the US Championship, and joining in on the WWE vs. Nexus feud. Hart would never be able to see things through his best years, though, to retire purely on his own terms like he deserved to.
