Neidhart premiered
in Calgary's Stampede Wrestling. He teamed with Hercules Ayala, and
won the International Tag-Team Titles. Neidhart continued to train
himself in Canada's top wrestling organization for the next few years.
Neidhart made it back to the top of the International Tag-Team ladder,
teaming with Mr. Hito and getting the belts. Neidhart was later inducted
to the official Stampede Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Neidhart next wrestled some in Louisiana & Oklahoma, before heading
over to the NWA Mid-South, building a reputation for himself in the
United States. Neidhart teamed with Butch Reed to win the NWA Mid-South
Tag-Team belts.
Neidhart next went down into Florida, where he wrestled for various
NWA organizations. In August '84, Neidhart defeated Angelo Mosca to
win the NWA Southern Heavyweight Championship. He lost it less than
a month later to Pez Whatley. Neidhart later teamed with Krusher Khrushchev
(Barry Darsow) to gain the NWA US Tag-Team Titles, beating Hector
Guerrero and Cocoa Samoa (subbing for Chavo Guerrero).
Soon after, Neidhart came to the WWF teaming with Bret "the Hitman"
Hart to form the Hart Foundation, with Jimmy "Mouth of the South"
Hart as their manager. The Hart Foundation first won gold defeating
the British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith and the Dynamite Kid). The Hart
Foundation came back to beat Demolition for their 2nd title reign,
which lasted almost 7 months. Soon after, the two separated when Bret
wanted to pursue his singles career.
Neidhart vanished from the WWF for a while, and then reappeared as
Owen Hart's partner to form the New Foundation. Neidhart later joined
with Bret, his brother Owen, and Davey Boy to reform the Hart Foundation,
which began to terrorize the WWF.
