The Harts’ legacy began with patriarch Stu Hart’s founding of Calgary’s Stampede Wrestling in 1948, continued with Stu’s son, Bret “Hit Man” Hart, becoming one of the most beloved WWE Champions of all time, and remains with Bret’s niece Natalya staking claim on the Divas roster. The clan has won nearly every possible sanctioned championship in WWE on multiple occasions, and both Stu and Bret were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
The Hart Foundation first debuted in WWE during the 1980s when Bret and his brother-in-law Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, Natalya’s father, battled Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid, who also became members of the family by marriage. At Survivor Series 1993, Bret and his brothers Owen, Keith and Bruce were victorious as a team, and Owen later defeated Bret in the main event of WrestleMania X. In 1997, The Hart Foundation was reborn with Bret, Owen, Neidhart and Davey Boy, and even hosted their own pay-per-view, Canadian Stampede, widely considered one of the finest in WWE history.
12 years later, the family reemerged in WWE as The Hart Dynasty , including Natalya and Davey Boy’s son David Hart Smith. And today, Natalya continues to represent the Harts’ storied legacy in WWE.
