This week on 80’s Wrestling The Podcast, we dive into the moments that shattered the illusion — from shocking backstage reveals and controversial finishes to the rise of dirt sheets and behind-the-curtain exposes.

Before Bret Hart was a singles icon… before the Sharpshooter became legendary… he was one half of one of the most fundamentally perfect tag teams of the 1980s — The Hart Foundation. Bret “The Hitman” Hart — the technician. Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart — the powerhouse. With Jimmy Hart in their corner and the Hart Attack ready to strike. They didn’t just win matches — they mastered tag team psychology. Cutting the ring in half. Isolating opponents. Executing with precision. Where do you rank The Hart Foundation? Did Bret’s singles accomplishments overshadow the team's legacy?

We celebrate 5 years of the Podcast with old clips, Wrestling Theme Trivia and a Poem by the ConFather himself!
