In the mid 1980s to early 1990s, Neidhart was one half of "The Hart Foundation," a WWE (then WWF) champion tag team with his real life brother-in-law, Brett Hart. When he was in the ring, Neidhart was known for his brute strength, reddish-blonde goatee, and sinister laugh. Out of it, he was regarded as a big-hearted family man and good friend.
His daughter Natalya is currently on of the biggest women's division stars in the WWE and has already been women's champion once.
