Intercontinental Champion — Hart’s Solo Career

With his workout regimen in place, Hart began a solo professional wrestling career soon after. His individual success was his ticket to a good start after winning the title of WWF Intercontinental Champion for the first time in 1991 when he defeated Mr. Perfect at the Summer Slam in 1991. Hart and The Mountie got caught in a feud in January 1992 and Hart ended up losing the title to him. Roddy Piper eventually defeated Mountie shortly after Hart’s loss during the 1992 Royal Rumble. Not long after, Hart regained the title at Wrestlemania VIII after winning against Piper that same year.
