20 Years On From WWE In Your House: Canadian Stampede's Main Event: Where Are They Now?
9. Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart
According to longtime Vince McMahon confidant Bruce Prichard, it was the persistence of Stu Hart and the babysitting of Bret that kept earning Jim Neidhart continued employment in WWE following his crushingly familiar missteps, but 'The Anvil' was unknowingly into the last year of his career as a mainstream professional wrestler.
Routinely benched for drug charges and other misdemeanours, Neidhart was sometimes absent during this legendary run, with the former tag team champion notable for being the only stable member not to have a high-stakes match at the Foundation-dominated SummerSlam '97 card in August of that year.
After his 'Team Canada' unit emerged victorious from the 1997 Survivor Series (despite Jim's elimination by Vader), Neidhart had one foot out of the door after the Montreal Screwjob sent Davey Boy Smith off to WCW alongside 'The Hitman'.
Humiliated by D-Generation-X on his departure, the once-impactful performer entered the Atlanta group with his fire almost entirely extinguished, and struggled to gain a foothold as the idiot sidekick of the similarly ill-suited British Bulldog.
Following his 1998 release, he never worked full time for a major organisation again amidst rumours of his increased drug use. It's most telling that despite being best known for being the father of Women's Division lynchpin Natalya, it is always her Uncle Bret that accompanies her during familial storyline involvement.
