[edit] Family

Diana met Davey Smith at the age of 17 when Davey, 18, was training under her father. They married on October 7, 1984. The couple had two children together, Harry (born on August 2, 1985) and Georgia (born September 26, 1987).[citation needed]

In early 2000, Diana divorced Davey and focused on her children. She helped her son, Harry, become a professional wrestler. Diana has since remarried.

[edit] World Wrestling Federation

Diana was in attendance at SummerSlam 1992 where her husband won the WWF Intercontinental Championship from her brother, Bret Hart, in the night's main event at Wembley Stadium. At the end of the match, Diana embraced both her brother and her husband to signify the family's unification. Diana occasionally accompanied her husband to the ring, including his WWF Championship match against Bret at the December 17, 1995 In Your House pay-per-view, which Davey lost.

In April 1996, the WWF began a storyline where Diana claimed that she was sexually assaulted by Shawn Michaels backstage at In Your House: Good Friends, Better Enemies in an attempt to play mind games with Michaels as her husband prepared to challenge him for the WWF Title at In Your House: Beware of Dog. The angle culminated with an in-ring promo on an episode Monday Night RAW where Diana slapped Michaels, leading to a brawl between he and the Bulldog. When their match at In Your House led to a draw, a rematch was signed for King of the Ring, which the Bulldog ultimately lost. The storyline was dropped immediately afterwards.

Main article: Under the Mat: Inside Wrestling's Greatest Family

After the death of her younger brother, Owen Hart, in a wrestling accident, Diana became very outspoken about the wrestling industry and wrote a controversial book entitled Under the Mat: Inside Wrestling's Greatest Family, which discussed alleged secrets of the famous Hart family. Owen's widow, Martha, sued Diana over the book and the family was further torn apart.
