CAUSE OF DEATH: HEAD INJURY AND SEIZURE BROUGHT ON BY FALL
A female WWE star said her life is in danger. Details HERE
If you watched pro wrestling in the '80s and '90s, chances are you were acquainted with the Anvil.
He was the powerhouse of the Hart Foundation. Hes main tag team run was with WWE Legend Bret Hart.
Neidhart was the loud, brash and abrasive yin to Hart's more mellow, even-keeled yang during their time together.
He and Bret won the WWF Tag Team Titles on two occasions, defeating the face team of the British Bulldogs (Dynamite Kid and British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith).
The won the titles a second time after defeating Demolition at Summerslam in 1990.
He also tagged with Bret's younger brother Owen to form the New Foundation.
It didn't last long and Neidhart left the WWF for two years, returning in 1994.
His second run was highlighted by joining the Hart Foundation faction along with Bret, Owen, Smith and Brian Pillman.
They spoke out against America, considering Canada to be superior to its neighbor to the south.
He returned to WCW but didn't have much success.
He would make sporadic appearances in WWE throughout the rest of his life, but is just as famous being the father of current WWE superstar, Natalya.
He eventually died on August 13, 2018 after suffering a fall. His wife claimed he had a seizure that caused the fall. He was also rumored to have early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
Because of his death during the summer, the WWE was forced to cancel a rumored Natalya heel turn on her friend, Ronda Rousey.
Natalya had been teaming with and supporting Rousey ever since her full-time debut at Wrestlemania earlier in the year.
The storyline would have Natalya eventually turn on her friend after Rousey would be treated like a bigger star.
Jim's death would be used in storylines in November as Ruby Riott would infamously crush a pair of Jim's trademark sunglasses.
It would cause the pair to brawl before the most recent Survivor Series PPV, causing them to be removed from Team Raw.
They have since continued their feud.
