Just to clear it up, the OG Hart Foundation, so no Pillman, Davey or Owen. No Danny Davis though either.

Uncle Bret being a two-time Hall of Famer? That’s pretty insane.

This seems like a nice thing to do for Bret, Natalya and their families. A good opportunity to celebrate the Anvil's career.
But regarding Davy Boy, are the British Bulldogs not in the Hall of Fame?

Well, unlike Neidhart, Owen/Bulldog/Pillman can get in on their own, I think.

Happy for Nattie and Jim.
Also I know we get annoyed with Nattie, but if Charlotte is put in with Becky and Ronda. Why not have Nattie somehow face Asuka at Mania? It'd be a really good match.

Jimmy Hart isn't already in? Yep. Now he’ll be in there twice.

Just remembered that every member, besides Bret, of the ‘97 Hart Foundation; is dead.

I'm kind of a little torn on it in that it kind of feels like going out of their way to not put in Neidhart solo but by the same token, he kind of really only warrants going in as part of the Hart Foundation.
Either way though, good for the family and should make for a nice moment.

Because the Hart Foundation were announced first I assume they're headlining? Unless a big name like Batista is announced.

Kinda underwhelming. If you’re gonna do Hart Foundation don’t just do one incarnation.

Either way though, good for the family and should make for a nice moment. To be fair,even though he deserves to be in the HOF him going in as a Solo act would be like like Animal,Hawk,Smash or Ax going in Solo. All his notable success was entirely as part of HF. That said,this was long overdue and should have been done while he was around to see it.

Yeah, I would have thought just inducting Neidhart would be a better way of tiptoeing around the Owen/Hart Foundation HoF issue that they seem to have created for themselves.
I appreciate Neidhart didn't have anything to offer as a singles guy but I have no objection with him going in on his own, he was certainly a character (especially with Nattie still relevant) that has stood the test of time.

I get why they’re going this route, Neidhart alone wasn’t much of a singles guy, so this makes the most sense.
I feel like the Bulldogs tag team can get in on their own, and with Dynamite’s passing, it’ll be a lot easier to do it since Bulldog’s family is on good terms.
Pillman, I’m less sure on mostly because I’m not sure if it’d be his widow (who’s kinda out there honestly) or his kids who would be in charge or his estate at this point. Pillman Jr. seems like he’d be down to induct his dad one day at least.
And of course the Owen thing..yeah we already know that’s a hard no from Martha.

I like that Bret and Anvil are going in, but were they really managed by Jimmy Hart long enough for him to be in the induction as well? Maybe i'm remembering wrong, but I don't remember Jimmy being with them for all that long.

I'd say it counts.
