10 Cruelest WWE Superstar Exits Ever
4. Jim Neidhart
Though he was never the most talented worker in the world - and he was routinely overshadowed by members of his own family - Jim Neidhart was a loyal WWE employee for many years. His first tenure - which saw him capture a pair of World Tag Team Titles with Bret Hart - ended when he was fired in 1992, but he was rehired in 1994.
Neidhart didn't do much during his second term with the company, but in 1997, he joined his family for the rebirth of The Hart Foundation. The group became the top heels in the company, but it all came to an end when Bret was screwed out of the WWE Championship at Survivor Series.
Bret and The British Bulldog left the company, and Owen Hart stayed, but took time off. Only Neidhart - who would also leave before 1997 ended - was on Raw directly in the aftermath of the Screwjob. Despite his antipathy toward Shawn Michaels, D-Generation X offered him a spot in the group - and Neidhart accepted.
It was all a ruse, of course - the group attacked Neidhart. The next week on Raw was Neidhart's last, and the group attacked him once more, spray-painting "WCW" on his back. Neidhart was finally able to leave the company after symbolically turning his back on his family.
