The association between Danny Davis and The Hart Foundation is one of those forgotten alliances in WWE history. That's a shame, because Davis (better known for his work as a referee) was a damn good heel who complemented Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart well.

At WrestleMania III, the trio teamed up to take on The British Bulldogs and Tito Santana. This was a huge spot for Davis, and he was keen to make the most of it. Mid-ring, right before the match started, Danny looked around at the massive live crowd and asked his colleagues, "Can you believe we are part of this?".

Unashamedly, live at 'Mania, Davis marked out.

He admitted this to the Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling show, and also added that Bret, Jim and Jimmy Hart all tried to keep their cool without showing the same emotion as Davis. Danny didn't care, because he was revelling in his own involvement on wrestling's biggest stage.
