The greatest wrestling tag teams of all-time

original Hart Foundation however consisted of Bret Hitman' Hart and Jim The Anvil' Neidhart, managed by The Mouth Of The South' Jimmy Hart. The team enjoyed success in the WWF originally as Heels, bringing a fresh new approach to the WWF's Tag-Team division with Bret being the more technical and agile performer, and Neidhart being the powerful brawler.

The team eventually turned Face after Jimmy Hart turned his back on them, and they got over with the fans immensely which led to two runs with the tag team championships. The original Hart Foundation eventually split up after Bret started a singles run, but their legacy still remains. The time they broke into the WWF as a tag team was a time where great and innovative tag-teams were quite rare within the company, and the foundation, set the foundation, no pun intended, for the future great tag-teams over their tenure, as face and heel, engaging in amazing and memorable matches with the likes of The British Bulldogs and The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers.

The tag-team eventually gained worldwide fame in the WWF/E competing in memorable feuds with the likes of The Hart Foundation. The team are remembered by legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, who managed the team during a one-off appearance at Wrestlemania two, in which they won the World Tag-Team Championships from The Dream Team. The team eventually split up, and as most teams go, Davey Boy Smith was dubbed The British Bulldog and given a long-term and widely successful singles run. Despite this, the team remain one of the greatest in the history of the sport, and still to this day one of the greatest and most successful teams that Great Britain has ever sent to the United States.
