FC/OT: RIP Jim 'The Anvil' Niedhart....

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Former WWE Superstar Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart has died, the companyconfirmed Monday.

He was 63.

The Pasco Sheriff's Office told TMZ Sports that Neidhart appeared to have "fell at home, hit his head and succumbed to his injury."

A founding member of The Hart Foundation, Neidhart was a two-time WWF tag team champion with Bret Hart and was known as one of the more intimidating powerhouses of his generation. He is also the father of current WWE Superstar Natalya.

Neidhart made his WWE debut in 1985 and was part of The Hart Foundation as it became the top tag team in the company. He and Hart became champions for the first time in 1987 and were champions for the vast majority of the late 1980s.

Oh man, down goes a legend. The Hart Foundation was a lot of fun to watch back in the 80's. Didn't realize he was suffering from Alzheimer's.
RIP.

He was an awesome "heel". Had the most devious laugh in the business.

RIP

RIP.

Ross Hart, his brother-in-law and a former pro wrestler, told The Associated Press that Neidhart suffered from Alzheimer’s disease and it was believed he suffered a grand mal seizure on Monday.

“He got up (Monday) morning and went to lower the temperature on the air conditioner and he just collapsed and I think died pretty quickly,” Hart said. “I was think this was stemming from Alzheimer’s which he’d been battling for some time. It’s a struggle he’s been going through.”

Always liked the anvil more than the hit man. Less hair product

Damn.

Sadly, 63 is quite an old age for a pro wrestler.

I believe that now 15 of the 38 wrestlers at Wrestlemania 6 (1990) are now dead.

Correlation or causation. Seems like a no brained to me
