Teddy Hart
Edward Ellsworth Annis (born February 2, 1980) is a Canadian-American
professional wrestler, better known by his
ring name Teddy Hart. He currently wrestles on the
independent circuit. He wrestled on a National scale for
Major League Wrestling (MLW) as the leader of
The Hart Foundation, where he held the
MLW World Middleweight and
MLW Tag Team championships. He has also wrestled for
AAA, the short-lived
Wrestling Society X,
Jersey All Pro Wrestling, and
Dragon Gate USA. He operates a
wrestling school in
Edmonton. He is the son of
Georgia Hart of the
Hart wrestling family and wrestler
B. J. Annis. He is also the nephew of former professional wrestlers,
Bret Hart and
Owen Hart. Hart achieved an early degree of fame when he became the youngest wrestler to be signed to the World Wrestling Federation (now
WWE). His subsequent release, controversial actions while wrestling on the independent circuit and various legal problems have earned him a measure of infamy.
Outside of the ring, Annis has been a mentor to several young wrestlers and has been a trainer at wrestling schools. Among his trainees are
Jack Evans,
Pete Wilson and his younger cousin
Matt Hart. Annis is also a cat lover and breeder of Persian cats which he has used sometimes
in storylines and brought with him to matches.
