WWE Looking To Form A "New" Hart Foundation

[Juan]

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

WWE is looking to form a faction which would include Harry Smith, Nattie Neidhart, T.J. Wilson and possibly Teddy Hart. This group would be called The New Hart Foundation. A lot of this depends on Teddy Hart signing with WWE because he is under contract to MTV's Wrestle Society X promotion until February. Also, oftentimes he is his own worst enemy when it comes to promotions who book him.

In regards to how they are all related, T.J. Wilson is a long time friend of the Harts as he'd always hang out at their house and he's considered to be family. Wilson signed a developmental contract with WWE a few months ago. After he fulfills his indy obligations, he will report to Deep South Wrestling. He is currently in a relationship with Nattie Neidhart, who is also under contract to WWE. Nattie is of course the daughter of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. Jim Neidhart was married to Bret Hart's sister Ellie, but apparently, they are now divorced. Also, it's pretty much a lock that Nattie will be called up to WWE sometime in 2007 one way or another.

After appearing on several house shows during the summer, Harry Smith has been sitting on the sidelines since September because WWE has no idea as to what do with him. Also, he's not appearing on OVW or DSW shows either.

Teddy Hart is a third generation member of the Hart wrestling family. His mother is Georgia Hart, who is another one of Bret's sisters. In 1998, Hart became the youngest person ever signed to a WWE developmental contract, but he was subsequently released a shortwhile later due to "attitude" problems.

In other news, Mike DiBiase, the son of wrestling legend Ted DiBiase, is reportedly dating Bret Hart's daughter Jade. Jade is 23 years old and not involved with wrestling. Although, you could see her sitting with the Hart relatives at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony last year for Bret Hart's induction.

IF this is true, wait for the many 'all is forgiven Vince' comments.

As far as I'm concerned - meh.

[KingofOldSchool]

Yeh pretty mehish.

TJ Wilson and Teddy Hart won't amount to much.

Harry will probably be IC Champion at best.

I'm surprised that they actually expect people to remember that there was an Original Hart Foundation.

[Xero]

I'm surprised they actually expect people to buy these people on the level of the original Hart Foundation.

This is the same group of people who expected us to enjoy that Rosie/Trump skit on Raw.

[McLegend]

I hope they sign Teddy Hart just because he is a walking Train wreck.

[KingofOldSchool]

Teddy Hart vs. Hardcore Holly vs. The Great Khali

[Fox]

Teddy Hart already has a worse backstage rep than Scott Hall, and he's like, half of the Lone Wolf's age. If he's rehired, he could possibly beat Scott's record of 2 months for shortest tenure with WWE before royally fucking up.

And I agree with previous sentiments that these nobodies would not be taken seriously as "the NEW Hart Foundation."

Now, if they used Chris Benoit or Lance Storm (or even possibly Bret Hart himself) to help promote and manage this new stable, we might be in business.

yep.

I'm suprised they remember the original Hart Foundation.

[Gulak]

I call bullshit.

[The MAC]

even bret hart wont watch this. I can see a dx feud, screw job endings, vince getting punched in a dressing room. Wrestling makes a mockery of its self on more time.

[Londoner]

I can't be fucked with WWE anymore so i don't care, WWE is for retards these days. Vince thinks people will watch anything, but not me.

Then why the fuck are you telling us? If you cant be bothered with WWE and dont care, you're obviously doing a great job of disguising this disgust, by informing us that you still dont care. Thanks for the reminder, now go shut the fuck up somewhere.

Being a big Hart Foundation mark myself, I would love for something like this to happen ... in theory.

But in practice, as most of you in this thread have already said, it just wouldn't work. The faction would meander around the lower mid-card for a while before fizzling out completely. I think also that, even though having someone like Benoit or Lance Storm (I sincerely doubt Bret would do it) may lend it some credibility, I fear it wouldn't be enough.

That's what I think anyway.

[Crippla]

Teddy Hart will last MAYBE a month if they sign him. This idea will never work though.

Stop overreacting. I mainly was referring to raw when i said WWE, and ECW, btw, but the point is true. Don't believe me? Watch raw from last monday again.

[Kane Knight]

I'm surprised there are enough Harts left to form one.

[The MAC]

owen must be turning over right now.

[Blue Demon]

I'm surprised there are enough Harts <s>left</s> willing to form one.

[KayfabeMan]

I'm going nail Bret Hart's daughter.

Just for fun.

[Anybody Thrilla]

No you are not, KayfabeMan.

[Innovator]

Oh god Teddy Hart.....only time Jimmy Rave ever got a face pop was when he put Teddy in the sharpshooter

[MLW]

WWE still exist? good for them...

[KayfabeMan]

No you are not, KayfabeMan.

Why wouldn't I?

[Kane Knight]

Sascha, the Harts will always be willing, as long as they're there. Wrestling is like religion. Very few practicioners have any sense whatsoever. And they will rarely learn from the follies of their friends and family.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Why wouldn't I?

It's not so much that you wouldn't. It's more that you couldn't.

[M-A-G]

They have no idea what to do with Harry Smith? But they can find f*ckloads of ways to get Maria and Kristal and Ashely on TV and get indy workers to play celebrities and book their WWE Champion in a match months in advance against a non-worker borderline celeb? Here's an idea: Promote him as the son of one of your most over and recognized stars who was involved in one of the biggest wrestling families in history! JUST A THOUGHT!

[Zen v.W.o.]

Nobodies? What do you expact Everyone is a "nobody" until they make it to the big time. Bret Hart was once a nobody. But they already have that background, and that link to the greatest wrestling family of all time. They are from CALGARY, and they all rule. They'll be a breath of fresh air.

I'd love it. Have Teddy spit and piss all over HBK.

Totally NOT the way to book him otherwise he'll just live in the shadow of his father. I'm guessing the problem is mainly, that he's English. And everyone knows Brit wrestlers never get over, or even pushed to any great extent.

[Destor]

And people laughed at Alienoid when he proposed this exact idea...

[M-A-G]

We're still laughing.

[M-A-G]

Randy who?

[Schoenauer]

Since when did Alienoid start working for the WWE?

[Avenger]

What the fuck? One month ago everyone was all over this idea.

IT WILL NOT WORK. IT IS CALLED REHASHING IDEAS. IT NEVER WORKS.

[KayfabeMan]

It's not so much that you wouldn't. It's more that you couldn't.

That wouldn't be totally true.

Lots of people that seemed unrealistic, but that's another book :y:

[KayfabeMan]

Also, why are they so busy re-creating everything instead of coming up with anything new?

[addy2hotty]

Randy who?

And look how well that's worked out.

[NeanderCarl]

And people laughed at Alienoid when he proposed this exact idea...

Actually, that was moi.

[Avenger]

And me too I might add.

[Xero]

Just realized that this is probably just a setup for Survivor Series.

Instead one ONE screwjob, we get FOUR!

[Xero]

Although booking THIS far in advance wouldn't be WWE's style. They probably don't even have RAW booked yet. :shifty:

[.44 Magdalene]

LOL, four sharpshooters, four referees.

Have Vince, Steph, Shane, and Linda ALL calling for the bell.

[Xero]

"Survivor Series 2007: RING THE BELL!"

[ron the dial]

Too bad there are only three Hebner's to throw into the mix.

[ron the dial]

Not that they would be in WWE at the time, but you know what I mean.

[.44 Magdalene]

I could see them getting rehired for such a rare occassion.


One of them could feud with K-Fed.




They'd go totally unused for the next month or so, then get released.

[Xero]

Hey, I wouldn't put it past Vince to bring at least Earl in for a one-off screw job.

Hell, they'll probably turn it into a storyline where he begins to screw the Harts leading up to Survivor Series. At the PPV, it'll be the Hart Foundation vs. DX, Earl screws everyone on the Harts except, let's say Teddy, who then pulls four Finger Pokes of Doom and joins DX.

[ron the dial]

LOL the Farts.

[Xero]

Yeah, caught that one. Hucking F key. :shifty:

[Kane Knight]

And people laughed at Alienoid when he proposed this exact idea...

Yeah, now I'm just cringing that the two groups who seem to continuously come up with bad ideas are on the same page.

:p

[The One]

I don't like the idea. Aside from the fact that I think Teddy is a prick and not half as talented as some people make him out to be, and only about a hundredth as talented as he makes himself out to be...sorry that was a random little Teddy rant...anyway I just don't like the idea. It's always terrible anytime theyt rehash groups. And while I am kind of excited to see Harry get on TV, he certainly is not his dad...

[NeanderCarl]

Apparently Survivor Series 07 isn't taking place in Montreal now anyway, it's been moved elsewhere. (Can't remember where, maybe Detroit? It was on Slam! Wrestling anyway. You look it up!)

[NeanderCarl]

My mistake, Miami is apparently hosting this years Survivor Series. So no "Ten Year Anniversary" theme, hopefully.

[Xero]

Since when? Where did you get that info?

Edit: Oh, Slam. Still, can't find it on the site.

[Xero]

http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.asp?id=22332&p=1

PWInsider still has it listed for Montreal as of yesterday.

[NeanderCarl]

Slam! Wrestling, who got the info from the Ottowa Sun, apparently.

[NeanderCarl]

http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2007/01/07/3216254-sun.html

This is the article which says that Survivor Series has been moved to Miami. Don't know how accurate it is, but Slam! usually do their research before posting any news. One of the most reliable sites out there.
