Theodore Annis (born February 2 1980), is a Canadian professional wrestler better known under the ring name Teddy Hart. As a member of the legendary Hart wrestling family, he is the grandson of the late Stu Hart, and the nephew of Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Bruce Hart, Jim Neidhart and The British Bulldog. His mother is Stu's daughter Georgia, and his father is B.J. Annis, a gym proprietor, fitness guru and ex. Wrestler.

Career

Hart debuted in 1995 at Rockyford, Alberta, where he tagged up with for the first time with his late brother Matthew Annis and he faced his cousin Harry Smith and T.J. Wilson. In the Calgary based Stampede Wrestling promotion he formed The Hart Foundation 2.0 with Harry Smith, T.J. Wilson and Jack Evans. The stable would later compete in Major League Wrestling, where Hart teamed with Evans as "The New Hart Foundation". In 2000 He also wrestled in Matrats (run by Eric Bishoff), which he wrestled with his cousins and kids who were interested in wrestling.

World Wrestling Federation

In 1998, Hart became the youngest person ever signed to a World Wrestling Federation developmental contract, and was sent to train with Dory Funk, Jr. at the "Funkin' Dojo". He was later released by the WWF, who cited his "attitude problems" as the reason for the release.

Ring of Honor

On November 1 2003, Hart competed on a Ring of Honor show in Elizabeth, New Jersey as part of a Scramble Cage Match. After the match (which Hart did not win) he began to perform moonsaults and executed a Shooting Star Press from the top of the cage rather than selling the moves he had taken. Hart then vomited at ringside. His actions attracted the ire of many wrestlers, namely CM Punk, as he endangered some wrestlers by performing moves on them which they were not anticipating. Hart attributes his actions to a concussion suffered during the match. He has since wrestled at only one ROH show, At Our Best (held on March 13, 2004).

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling

Hart made several appearances with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. In August 2003, he defeated Jonny Storm and then lost to Juventud Guerrera in the course of the Super X Tournament. He returned in March 2004 as a member of Team Canada, represented as its original captain in the 2nd America's X Cup. He was released from the promotion along with CM Punk after the two had a fight in a restaurant and had to be separated by Sabu.

Independents

Hart is currently black-balled from many promotions as a result of his unpredictable behaviour, although he still wrestles regularly for Jersey All Pro Wrestling, and also operates a training school in Calgary. In 2005, he made several appearances with WWE, wrestling in dark matches and working as a jobber. Hart now mainly works for JAPW, and recently won the JAPW Tag Team Titles with Homicide defeating The Backseat Boyz, The SAT, and The Briscoe Brothers.
