According to Wikipedia they are. And I'm sure they've mentioned it before in a promo.

It's true. I think it's somewhat distant though.
Interesting thing is that they didn't know it until Piper was already a wrestler. I don't know the whole story, but Igues they were talking and realized the connection.

Perhaps the WM8 promo about baloney sandwiches was true after all

That's pretty interesting. I'd never heard that before. I'm guessing it's through marriage somewhere on the outskirts of the family tree? Kind of a cool tidbit.

That WM 8 promo cracks me up.
This is addressed in Pipers DVD I think.
Someone in Piper's family married a Hart a LONG ttime ago but they were never positive if it was the same family or not.
I believe that's the confusion.

I believe that's the confusion. According to both of their books, Bret Hart had family on his dad's side with the last name of "Toombs," which is Roddy Piper's legal last name. Bret said after discovering that, they referred to one another as "cuz" from then on forward.
