4: The Hart Foundation
The Hart Foundation were one of the most technically sound teams to ever enter the squared circle together. Jim ‘The Anvil’ Neidhart and Bret Hart rocked packed houses all over North America succeeding as both faces and heels. Even though Bret Hart was the star of the duo, the hard-hitting ‘Anvil’ definitely played his part. His hot-tags have become something of legend over the years.
The Hart Foundation won their first Tag-Team Championship in a 1987 episode of Superstars when they defeated the reigning champions, The British Bulldogs (Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith) and went on to become two-time champions before they split up after Wrestlemania VII when Bret left to focus on his singles career.
Although they were never the most flamboyant team, The Hart Foundation have claimed their place in history due to their relentless goal of achieving perfection. They had a very good understanding of ring psychology and crafted together matches that left the audience on the edge of their seats. As with Bret Hart’s as a singles wrestler, they were not only great at what they did, they also helped the other team stand out and look good.
