Smith Hart Says He's Confirmed Who Won't Get A 2016 WWE HOF Induction, Says He Wouldn't Blame Family For Boycotting Event

Smith Hart, brother of Bret “Hitman” Hart and member of wrestling’s famed Hart family, posted the following response in regards to this year’s WWE Hall of Fame ceremony.

Smith claims he confirmed through talking to Bret Hart that “The British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith, Owen Hart, and the Hart family as a group will not be inducted into this year’s class of the WWE Hall of Fame. Smith has some less than kind words for the omission, and references a rumored list of other ‘confirmed’ names we reported last week. You can see Smith’s post below:

I just got off the phone with my brother Bret, who called to wish me well. In talking to Bret, I can confirm that WWE will NOT be inducting Owen, Davey, Blue Blazer or even as Bret and I suggested, of inducting the entire Hart Foundation as a unit this year in Dallas for their fictional Hall of Fame. This once again proves that WWE’s Hall of Fame is nothing more than profiteering, grandstanding and political BS. It’s a shame, not only for the fans that still fill my inbox annually holding hope, but also for WWE as the task of filling 100,000 plus into Jerry’s world seems near impossible with their vastly depleted roster and horrible creative direction. A Hart Foundation induction on its own would not fill the stadium, but I’m sure would help more than the proposed inductions of The Godfather, Jacqueline or JBL (with all due respect). The reason given for the lack of an Owen induction is still our former Sister in law, Martha who still holds a grudge as if the tragedy happened days ago. Personally, I wouldn’t blame Bret or anyone in my family if they boycotted this year’s show.

On a related note, yesterday WrestleZone Radio released an exclusive interview with Smith’s brother, Bret “The Hitman” Hart. This interview is presented by SharpShooterFunding.com. During the interview, which can be listened to in the player below, Bret shares his thoughts on:
