WWE Hall of Famer Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart is heading to Langley Falls as part of an episode of the hit animated series American Dad. On X, Hart shared a clip of himself on the latest episode of the show. Not only does Bret’s appearance include his iconic WWE theme song, but show-regular Klaus makes reference to Hart being Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Most Hated Wrestler of the Year in 1997.
The Hitman is no stranger to being recreated in animated form, as he appeared in The Simpsons in 1997. That episode sees Hart purchase the mansion of Mr. Burns after the evil billionaire falls on hard times. Not only does Hart voice himself in the episode (though was reportedly originally going to play a Russian,) but he is delighted that the ‘Shrieking Sheik,’ a nod to the Iron Sheik, lives in the same neighborhood.
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer also provided the voice of the pro wrestler character “The Hooded Fang” in Jacob Two-Two. Now, Hart has added American Dad to his animated repertoire, as the legendary wrestler continues to be celebrated decades after the end of his in-ring career.
