After a number of successful years as a tag team--including a reign as champions--the Hart Foundation split up, primarily so Bret Hart could be utilized at the top of the card.

His partner wasn't so lucky. While the Hitman went on to feud with greats like Shawn Michaels and Mr. Perfect, the Anvil became...Who. The joke was that anybody could tell that Jim Neidhart was the man under the mask, with the announcers repeating the 'who' punchline ad nauseam.

It didn't get Neidhart over in the least, and just annoyed fans who probably weren't all that invested in the Anvil to begin with, and was abandoned after a short while.
