#3 Bret’s Cohort
Alongside Bret Hart arose several individuals from the Hart family. Perhaps most famous of all was Owen, Bret’s youngest brother who was an accomplished high flyer and technical wrestler, who demonstrated remarkable personality to boot when he got the chance at a heel turn, and particularly the opportunity to feud with the Hitman.
Bret also had two WWE brother-in-laws who’d married his sisters after training in the Hart Dungeon. One was Hart’s famous tag team partner with whom he first established himself with the WWE audience—Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart.
The other was The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith, whom Hart worked against in tag teams early in their WWE tenures, before later working a number of excellent singles matches together. Davey Boy’s cousin, The Dynamite Kid, also gets an indirect nod as related to the family by his tag team partner’s marriage.
A number of the these distinguished stars joined Bret and Brian Pillman for an all too short, but excellent run as the Hart Foundation stable.
