Stu Hart named to the WWE Hall of Fame

All I got say is, it’s about time. One of the greatest wrestlers, trainers and men in professional wrestling is now going to be in the WWE Hall of Fame. Let me just start by listing all the wrestlers Stu Hart trained. Here is the list:

Abdullah the Butcher, Kip Abee, Gene Anderson, Ben Bassarab, Chris Benoit, Craig Baranieski, Steve Blackman, Bad News Brown, Larry Cameron, Justin Credible, Dynamite Kid, Edge. Ricky Fuji. “Superstar” Billy Graham, Bret Hart, Bruce Hart, Keith Hart, Owen Hart, Ross Hart, Smith Hart, Shinya Hashimoto, Billy Jack Haynes, Mark Henry, Johnathan Holliday, The Honky Tonk Man, Chris Jericho, The Junkyard Dog, Gene Kiniski, Klondike Bill, Tim Le Strange, Jos Leduc, Paul LeDuc, Jushin Liger, Luther Lindsey, Mike Michaels, Gorilla Monsoon, Jim Neidhart, Reggie Parks, Eduardo Miguel Perez, Brian Pillman, George Scott, Sandy Scott, Ken Shamrock, Gama Singh, Davey Boy Smith, The Stomper, Lance Storm, Greg Valentine, Nikolai Volkoff, and Fritz Von Erich.

Now that’s a Hall of Fame list right there in itself. His legacy is carried on by all of these men but it doesn’t stop there. There is also the family tree which consists of the inlaws and grandchildren that include Jim Neidhart, Natalie Neidhart, Harry Smith, and Teddy Annis. All of them still active in wrestling today.

Stu Hart never worked for WWE, NWA, or AWA. He never held any of their major championships. He ran his own wrestling promotion called Stampede Wrestling until it was bought out by Vince McMahon. Stu is in a class of his own and definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Congratulations to Stu Hart for being inducted into the Hall of Fame. I know you’ll be there in spirit as your family inducts you.
