In a fiery public response, which has likely been years in the making, Diana Hart has taken to her Instagram account to vehemently reject her brother Bret Hart’s repeated claims that her late husband, The British Bulldog, was in no condition to perform during their legendary SummerSlam 1992 main event. Diana accused Bret of diminishing her late husband’s legacy by rewriting history after Davey’s death, despite never having raised concerns during his lifetime.
“Bret does not present his statements as opinions; he states them as facts. That distinction matters, because many of his claims—specifically about Davey’s physical or mental state at SummerSlam’92 are simply not true. It is my opinion that Bret’s current misrepresentation of events at SS92 may be influenced by the stroke he suffered in the summer of 2002. What cannot be ignored is the timing, that Davey died prior to that, in May 2002. There was a full decade (1992-2002) when Bret could have raised his claims directly with Davey, if they were legitimate. He never did. Not once. The absurd and hurtful accusations began after Davey was no longer alive to respond … I will not accept is history being rewritten after the fact, especially when the person, (Davey)being totally discredited is no longer alive to defend himself. Davey was so good and loyal to Bret.” – Diana Smith
The Hart family remains one of wrestling’s most storied and complicated dynasties, forged in Stu Hart’s infamous Calgary Dungeon. Stu and Helen raised 12 children in hardship, producing multiple stars, including Bret, Owen, and in-laws like Jim Neidhart and The British Bulldog. While family loyalty fueled iconic 1990s WWF storylines such as the Hart Foundation and the explosive Bret-Owen feud, real-life tragedies, public accusations, and lingering tensions also shaped the era. Yet through Natalya, Davey Boy Smith Jr., and an enduring legacy, especially in Canada, the Hart name continues to thrive.
