10 Greatest Manager/Wrestler Combinations Ever

10. Jimmy Hart & The Hart Foundation

I'll start with one of the loudest managers to ever grace the squared circle, and I'm not just talking about volume.

'The Mouth of the South' Jimmy Hart was a staple of WWF TV in the 80s and early 90s, before going on to have a run in WCW once buddy Hulk Hogan made his way to working for the enemy.

Hart managed a whole host of competitors, including the aforementioned Hogan, Jerry Lawler, Ted DiBiase, The Honky Tonk Man and my old favourite, Dino Bravo. His finest association, however, came with the tag team with which he shared his last name.

I'm talking, of course, about the Hart Foundation.

The team came together when Jim Neidhart was paired up with his real-life brother-in-law Bret Hart due to the fact neither was really up to much. Jimmy Hart was already the manager of Neidhart, and together the three compiled the original Hart Foundation.

In fact, the Hart Foundation actually referred to the faction of wrestlers managed by the Mouth of the South, but before long it was used solely for The Anvil and The Hitman.

The Foundation would experience great success, defeating the British Bulldogs for the WWF Tag Team Championships in 1987. The end for the trio came when Jimmy signed the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, which somehow led to the French Canadians claiming 25% of the Harts' payment.
