WWE Star The Anvil Dies Following Fall In Wesley Chapel Home

WESLEY CHAPEL, FL -- Former WWE star Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, 63, has died after taking a fall in his Wesley Chapel home.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said Neidhart fell and hit his head at his home over the weekend and died of his injuries on Monday, Aug. 13.

A founding member of the Hart family wrestling dynasty with his brother-in-law, Bret "Hit Man" Hart, Neidhart was a two-time WWF tag team champion. With his signature goatee and sinister laugh, he was one of the most popular wrestling stars of the late 1980s and early '90s.

His daughter is current WWE wrestler Natalya.

"Stunned and saddened," Hart commented on Neidhart's death on Twitter. "I just don’t have the words right now."
