Teddy Hart Discusses Jim Neidhart's Death, The Montreal Screwjob And More

Teddy Hart recently appeared on Sean Waltman's podcast and touched on several topics including the recent passing of his uncle, Jim Neidhart. Check out what he had to say below.

The Passing Of Jim Neidhart:Ā 

"Jim was always honest, his advice was always so sound on how to get where you needed to be and he trained so goddamn hard. He was so strong in the gym, he was an inspiration to me, no matter what state of mind he was in he always went to the gym. He was a beast in the gym, and he loved animalsā€¦. He was a great father to Nattie, they spent so much time together, he was so proud of herā€¦"

The Montreal Screwjob:Ā 

"It affected the unity of our family plus the WWE family because Bret and Shawn were good friends before that. And it put guys like you in an awkward spot. That whole rift thing in WCW, were some of your friends left and went there and Bret going after and hitting Vince I think was one of the worst things that ever happened in wrestling historyā€¦. That situation caused Owen to end up in that situation too. Like a ripple effect. Like Davey wasnā€™t in the right headspace after he tried to make his come back and Jim suffered definitely from not being in the WWE system because the structure in WWE compared to WCW at the time, you know WCW was pretty wildā€¦ the ripple effect of that Montreal screwjob f***ed everybody over."

On Never Meeting Triple H:

"Triple H is a guy I never met, and I thought he did a great job with WWE and he did an unbelievable job with the cards he had and to get to the top and run the business, and to keep his spot and to rarely ever get injured for how much work he did. And Bret doesnā€™t like him and Bret says bad stuff about him and then itā€™s like a reflection on the Hart Family cause Bret sorta speaks for the family, but Bret doesnā€™t speak for me thoughā€¦ I really want a job in WWE someday, even as trainer or something and thatā€™s my goalā€¦You want some closure in your career. Iā€™d love a doll made, Iā€™d love to be on a PPV someday. Besides Mexico, Iā€™ve never had that opportunityā€¦Thereā€™s only one WWE out there."

Teddy Hart On Sobriety:

"This has been year two of not smoking weed, and itā€™s been four years without doing any GHBā€¦And Iā€™m trying to forgive myself now for time wasted, Iā€™m 38 years old. And I did a WWE show two nights ago where I just showed up after the show, and it was so nice to see how many people came up to me and said theyā€™d watched my tapes, and theyā€™d listened to my interviews, and shoot interviews and podcasts, and that they had so much respect for me, because I told the truth. They said youā€™re always honest, and you did so many moves, and innovated so much stuff, that you set a measuring stick for wrestlers all over the world, and that, that donā€™t, ā€œDonā€™t forget who you areā€ kinda thing. And I thought at least that was kinda like, some closure for me ā€” where I was, Iā€™d been bitter, not bitter so much with the business, but bitter with certain things in my own ā€” like looking in the mirror and having to swallow ā€œWell maybe I shouldnā€™t have said that, or maybe I should have done that a different way.ā€ā€¦ So Iā€™ve been trying to find ways to get closure and forgiveness, and, and go back and thank people that maybe I should have thanked, or go back and say sorry to people that I didnā€™t say something good about, I said something only bad about, instead of saying something good. You should be able to find something good in almost everybody in this business because we work together ā€” weā€™re supposed to be a family and a team."
