wm005 Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart

There isn't a lot to say about Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. He wasn't particularly good or bad. He had a really strange interview technique where he would yell and laugh a lot. I considered giving him perplex for it but decided against it in the long run. I think his two special powers right now are just right for him. HART ATTACK represents the elevated clothesline finishing move when teaming with Bret Hart. ROCKET LAUNCHER represents his finisher with Owen Hart where he throws Owen off the top rope. If I wanted to be a stickler for details I would have given him and Owen a "New Foundation" keyword as well, since that was the name of their tag team. However, both he and Owen were in the last incarnation of the Hart Foundation when they all did a pro-Canada, anti-America gimmick, so I thought it would be best to keep things simple and stick to one Hart based keyword.

If you would like some verification of the comic accuracy of his Rocket Launcher power, or would just like to watch a good match, I present to you The New Foundation VS The Orient Express from the '92 Royal Rumble (spoiler alert: the Rocket Launcher occurs at the end of the match).
