“Surviving The Dungeon” is a documentary about the life of wrestling legend Stu Hart of Alberta, Canada. Stu and his wife helen raised twelve kids while fighting to keep their Stampede Wrestling promotion alive over the course of five decades. In the process, Stu became one of the most respected promoters, trainers and cultivators of new talent in the industry.
All twelve of his children went on to work in the business, with sons Bret and Owen becoming international superstars, as did his sons-in-law The British Bulldog and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart.
In 2010, his grand daughter Nattie Neidhart (Jim's daughter) managed David Hart Smith (Bulldog's son) and Tyson Kidd to the WWE tag team titles, ensuring that the name will continue for many years to come.
