10 WWE Superstars You Didn’t Know Were Related

6. Roddy Piper And The Hart Family

WWE.comWWE.comEveryone knows about The Hart Family and their absolutely enormous influence on the WWE over the last 30 years. The likes of Jimmy, Bret, Stu and Owen have all had a massive impact on the company throughout their careers - but there is one member of The Hart Family you may not recognise as a relative of Bret and Owen. Just when you think you know all the answers, he changes the questions, but there is one answer that can't be changed in this instance. Roddy Piper is indeed a relative of The Hart Family, and is a cousin of Bret "The Hitman" Hart. With all the Scottish references throughout the career of Piper it's perhaps easy to miss that relation - but as many people know, Piper is Canadian by birth. Sure, being Canadian and a WWE wrestler doesn't exactly guarantee you're related to the Hart's - it's a pretty big country, after all - but in this instance, there's often one member of The Hart Family that we always forget about. Just don't mention it to Mr. T, as we all know he and Piper don't exactly get on.
