WWE: 7 Wrestling Sons That Surpassed Their Fathers

2. Bret & Owen Hart

If you watched any of WWE in the 1990s then you know all about the Hart family. They are still mentioned to this day because of the legacy that the Hart family patriarch Stu Hart created as a trainer, wrestler and promoter. Stu and his wife Helen had 12 children that they raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with Bret Hart and Owen Hart emerging as the most famous wrestlers from the family. A lot of wrestling fans know all about the "Dungeon" that Stu Hart had in his house where he trained wrestlers. It was essentially the basement of the house, but it became legendary because of the stories of trainees dealing with pain. It was obvious that Vince McMahon held Stu in high regard because he was often mentioned on commentary and whenever he was at one of Bret or Owen's matches they would show him on camera. One of the most memorable moments from Bret's career was at SummerSlam 1991 when he won the Intercontinental Title from Mr. Perfect and Stu was there at ringside to celebrate with him. Bret Hart went on to win nearly every title that he could win in WWE, including five WWE Championships. His final days as an active wrestler in WWE in 1997 have been well documented over the years as the victim in the Montreal Screwjob. Thankfully he found his way back to WWE with his 2006 WWE Hall of Fame induction and his return as a WWE legend in 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfidlTyxPC4 Owen Hart is another guy that is one of the best to never hold the WWE Title. He did main event in 1994 against his brother Bret, but never became a top guy. He was still very successful and extremely well liked by his peers. He tragically passed away at Over the Edge 1999 in a moment that wrestling fans want to forget. The Hart Family legacy lives on in WWE today with Stu's granddaughter Natalya as one of the top divas in the company and her husband Tyson Kidd was the last graduate of the Hart Dungeon. Bret Hart is in the Hall of Fame and Stu Hart was inducted posthumously by his family in 2010.
