Report: Original Hart Foundation being inducted into WWE Hall of Fame
While WWE has yet to make any official announcements for this year’s Hall of Fame class, it appears that the first act for it has been confirmed.
PWInsider reported this afternoon that the original Hart Foundation (Bret Hart, Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, and Jimmy Hart) will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of this year’s class. The Hall of Fame ceremony is taking place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday, April 6.
Bret and Jimmy Hart have already been inducted into the Hall of Fame individually. Bret headlined the 2006 class, while Jimmy was part of the 2005 class.
Neidhart passed away in August 2018. He was 63 years old.
Bret & Neidhart were two-time Tag Team Champions together in the WWF.
This year’s Hall of Fame ceremony was originally scheduled to take place on the Friday of WrestleMania weekend before being moved to Saturday.
