Real life cousins Smith Jr and Hart have wrestled off and on together since they were small children, growing up as a part of real life Hart Family<\/strong><\/a>. Back in 1996, both took part in an opening bout at a WWF House Show in Calgary, when Hart was 16 and Smith was only 11<\/a>. In 2007, Smith and Hart were packaged as The New Generation Hart Foundation<\/strong> in Ohio Valley Wrestling<\/strong> (OVW, then a WWE developmental) and were set to debut on the WWE main roster, but Hart was released shortly before, and Smith was repackaged with Tyson Kidd<\/strong> and Natalya<\/strong> as The Hart Legacy<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n

Brian Pillman Jr. is the real life son of former Hart Foundation member Brian Pillman<\/strong>, who entered the pro wrestling business last year. He trained with Lance Storm<\/strong> in Calgary, and then Sami Callihan<\/strong> in his native Ohio, and has continued to impress with every indie appearance, and in July he’ll be joining the next generation Hart Foundation as well.<\/p>\n
