Former Professional Wrestler & 5X WWE Champion; Best Known as "The Hitman"
Bret Hart Biography
Bret Hart, known as "The Hitman," is recognized as a leading figure in professional wrestling, noted for his technical proficiency and in-ring storytelling. Often referred to as the Excellence of Execution, Hart trained in the Hart Family Dungeon and is widely considered one of the most skilled technical wrestlers in WWE history. Emerging from Calgary's Stampede Wrestling, Hart joined WWE as part of a tag team with his brother-in-law, Jim Neidhart. Together, the Hart Foundation won the World Tag Team Titles twice and became a prominent team in WWE.
As a singles competitor, Hart achieved significant milestones, including five WWE Championship reigns. He won King of the Ring, the Royal Rumble, and defeated Yokozuna for the WWE Title at WrestleMania X. Hart was known for his systematic approach in the ring, focusing on opponents' weaknesses and utilizing the Sharpshooter submission hold. His rivalry with Stone Cold Steve Austin produced a highly regarded submission match at WrestleMania 13, which was named Match of the Year by both Pro Wrestling Illustrated and Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Throughout his 20-plus year wrestling career, Hart maintained a reputation for safety, never injuring another wrestler.
Outside the ring, Hart developed a diverse public profile. He played Luther Root in the Western television series "Lonesome Dove: The Series" and was the subject of the documentary "Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows." Hart authored the autobiography "Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling," which became a bestseller. He co-founded the Calgary Hitmen, a major junior ice hockey team, and wrote a weekly column for Calgary Sun for more than a decade. Hart has been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as an individual, as part of the Hart Foundation, and for his match against Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13.
Hart's post-wrestling journey includes overcoming significant health challenges. After a bicycle accident resulted in a stroke and temporary paralysis, he regained mobility through extensive physical therapy. He was later diagnosed with prostate cancer, underwent surgery, and was declared cancer-free. Hart has since become an advocate for stroke recovery and men's health, serving as a spokesperson for Stroke Recovery Awareness Month and encouraging prostate cancer testing.
Hart speaks publicly on leadership, adversity, and personal performance, using wrestling metaphors to connect with business leaders, athletes, and community groups. Drawing from his experiences in championship wrestling, injury recovery, and cancer survival, Hart provides guidance on navigating pressure, building support systems, and maintaining resilience, continuing to engage audiences worldwide through speaking engagements and public appearances.
