Sometimes I forget how good the Hitman and the Anvil were together. I remember when they went to WWE and I saw Bret dressed in his black trunks jobbing out to everyone but putting on these amazing matches and losing. The Anvil was getting a little bit of a push.
In Bret's book he talked about the WWE wanting him to be Cowboy Bret Hart and come out to the ring in chaps and a cowboy hat and he refused. He floated around for a while, and then asked to be teamed with Anvil and they added Jimmy Hart and it was magical.
Bret in his book talked about how shy he was doing promo's and that Anvil carried those first few interviews and Bret's magic fix were his sun glasses.
They were such a dastardly duo, great heels and their screw over of the Bulldogs with Danny Davis was amazing.
People eventually forgot that Bret was originally a bad guy and were surprised at how good he was as a heel in his last run in the WWE before the screwjob.
I would really like to see the Bulldogs inducted one day, especially now with both members long since passed, it would be nice for the WWE to remember that they were the template for the modern tag team. Though it might be tough with both Davy's and Dynamites personal lives.
I would love to see Pillman inducted and Owen, but its not likely to happen.
