Bret "Hitman" Hart is unquestionably
the most famous Canuck in professional
athletics. His technical expertise
combined with the ability to brawl has
made him an indomitable force, hitting
the USA like a snowstorm blowing in from
the North.
Wrestling is in his blood. Bret, a
native of Calgary, was raised amongst
Canada's finest grapplers. Bret's father
Stu ran "The Dungeon" training center in
the basement of the Hart family home.
Stu Hart produced such wrestling
superstars as Roddy Piper, Chris Benoit,
and Chris Jericho. Under the tutelage of
his father, Bret mastered the
fundamentals at an early age. Throughout
the years, the "Hitman" has perfected
his every move, making him a lethal
force when he hits the mat.
Bret began his amateur wrestling
career in high school. Although highly
successful, he did not immediately
pursue wrestling as a profession. It was
not until he had given up the mat for
college that his true passion for the
sport ignited.
Throughout his years as a
professional, Bret has held the World
Heavyweight Title five times, plus
enjoyed much success in tag-team
competition. When he's not on the road,
Bret spends time in his homeland, where
he occasionally writes a column for the
Calgary Sun.
