Bret started with the WWF in August of 1984. His inital gimmick was to be a cowboy,but at the request of Bret that would soon get dropped. He then asked WWF officals if Bret and his Brother in law Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart could form a tag team called The Hart Foundation. That also happend as they added Jimmy "Mouth of the South" Hart as their manager. Soon Gorilla Moonson would coin the phrase for Bret "The Excellent Of Excution" for Bret's agile and technical skills. Add Jim Neidhart power and speed for such a big man this was a unstopable force in the WWF.
The Hart Foundation would go on to win their 1st of 2 Tag Team Championship Reigns by defeating The British Bulldogs "The Dynamite Kid" and Davey Boy Smith Bret's other Brother In Law on July 26th,1987. They would hold the Tag Team Titles till October 27th,1987being defeated in a match of the year canidate by Strike Force Rick Martel and Tito Santana.
Soon afterwards Their manager Jimmy Hart would leave them for The Fablous Rougeau Brothers in a very interesting way of still taking money from The Hart Foundation even though he was no longer their manager. This all culmenated in a huge match between these 2 tag teams which The Hart Foundation would win. The Hart Foundation would then enter a 20 man over the top battle royal at Wrestlemania 4 in which Bret was the last 2 in the ring along with Bad News Brown. Brown would go on to win this battle royal and The Foundation split for awhile as it looked as if Bret was getting a shot at being a singles star. Bret would go on to beat Bad News Brown. But The Hart Foundation would team up again at Wrestlemania 5 to take on their old manager Jimmy Hart's team of Rhytm and Blues The Honky Tonk Man and The Hammer Greg Valentine. The Hart Foundation would go on to win this encounter and reteam for the next 2 years.
At SummerSlam 1990 The Hart Foundation took on the fearsome threesome of Demolition Ax,Smash and Crush in a 2 out of 3 falls match for the WWF Tag Team Championships. But when as it seemed Demoltion would retain the tag team titles by keep switching partners from underneath the ring the Leigon Of Doom came to their aid and The Hart Foundation won the WWF Tag Team Championships for the 2nd time. They would hold the tag titles till Wrestlemania 7 when the lost the titles to Jimmy Hart's team of The Nasty Boys.
In the next edition of the Bret Hart Blogs we will focus on Bret's single career and his 1st ever single championship in the WWF.
