In addition to Hart’s recurring hotel shenanigans, Korderas also recalled one of his most infamous pranks, which took place backstage at WWE’s 1995 In Your House: Seasons Beatings pay-per-view in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

That night, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Henry Godwinn were scheduled to compete in an Arkansas Hog Pen Match. With this particular stipulation, WWE reached out to have several pigs delivered via truck on the day of the event. As the truck driver prepared to unload the pigs, however, an opportune Hart rerouted the animals to the office of WWE chairman Vince McMahon.

“[Owen] led the guy down the hallway and it was Vince’s office,” Korderas said. “Vince and all the production people were at the production meeting. So all these pigs were just led into Vince’s office, and Vince comes back from the meeting, he opens the door, he looks in, he sees all these hogs in his room. I don’t know what the heck they were doing, but he comes out like three seconds later screaming, ‘Owen!’ He knew it was him right away, but even he was laughing. It was just that funny.”
