It is with great remorse that I feel compelled to speak truthfully to my friends, family and my millions of fans around the world. In the past few years, I've spent more than enough time paying the price for all those years trying to be the best there ever was as a professional wrestler. I executed excellently and my proudest claim was that I never seriously hurt or injured another wrestler in my 23 year career. I've paid a price for all that "fake" wrestling. Aside from a devastating career-ending concussion and numerous surgeries when I was younger, in recent years I've had two knee replacements, two hernia operations, surgery on my right elbow, and, just a few months ago, I underwent a four-corner fusion of my right wrist that even now makes it most difficult to write or type.
Mark Helprin wrote: "We are all perfect clocks that Divinity has set to ticking when, even before birth, the heart explodes into a lifelong dance." I've had a great lifelong dance and I'm a survivor of many hard battles. I now face my toughest battle. With hesitation and fear, I openly declare myself in my fight against prostate cancer. In the next few days, I will undergo surgery with the hope of defeating this nemesis once and for all.
My fans have always looked upon me as a hero and I've always done my best to live up to that in and out of the ring. I beat the odds when I suffered my stroke in 2002, but it is now yet again, that I draw upon the many adults and young children I've met throughout my life who courageously fought and usually lost in their battles against this deadly disease. One year ago, I watched a brave young man named Whesley fight brain cancer to the end. If I can find even an ounce of his courage to stand unafraid and face the tough road ahead of me, I will march toward this destiny with his spirit chanting in my ear.
I make a solemn vow to all of those that once believed in me, the dead and the living, that I will wage my fearsome fight against cancer with one shield and one sword carrying my determination and my fury for life, emboldened by all the love that's kept me going this long already. Love is my weapon and I've got much of it around me all the time, for which I'm truly blessed and eternally grateful. My children, grandchildren, and my loving wife Steph have been and will constantly be at my side. I refuse to lose, I will never give in or give up, and I will win this battle or die trying.
Most important of all, I hope I can take the fight to prostate cancer. To be a leader in awareness and to set the example for men everywhere who find themselves in my very same shoes, that prostate cancer can be beaten.

i cant wait for that first guy to critique how bret is trying to put himself over in his delivery of the news

[drave]

Bret is trying to put himself over with is delivery of the news. :eyeroll:

[drave]

:D

[Schlomey]

My uncle died of ass cancer. This sucks. I've seen the worst of this particular disease and hope the Hitman can beat it. I want him to live long enough to bury himself.

[Big Vic]

He will put the cancer in the Sharpshooter and make it tap out.

[Hanso Amore]

Never thought anvil would be th last living member of the 97 hart foundation. Might just happen.

[DAMN iNATOR]

My uncle died of ass cancer. This sucks. I've seen the worst of this particular disease and hope the Hitman can beat it. I want him to live long enough to bury himself.

I can relate. My mother died of breast cancer just over 12 years ago, and so, I, too have seen this disease rear its ugly head and know that it has defeated countless numbers of even the healthiest and most resilient seeming people.

I will keep my thoughts and prayers with him and his family and friends as he goes through this time of great uncertainty and tribulation.

[NormanSmiley]

Rolls eyes

[Lock Jaw]

I still love Bret Hart, and am sad to hear this news.... I hope he can excellently execute this....

[Icame4Hookers]

Bret Hart's face turn, begins NOW

[Blue Demon]

Hope he pulls through...he was always my favourite.

[Maluco]

Bret has had such a tough time. It's hard not to feel sorry for him. One of my all time favourites.

[Sixx]

i can't say i'm surprised

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

i can't say i'm surprised

Same here :n: :(

Hope the Hitman goes over in a 5 star classic.

[Theo Dious]

Well someone beat me to it.

[Theo Dious]

WWE would like to wish Bret's prostate the best in all its future endeavors.

[Shisen Kopf]

Maybe El Dandy can cure his cancer? You know Bret won't doubt him.

Obviously old age is a bitch and shit happens like this to many people. I however believe that Bret Hart's mind has become so bitter that it has rotted his body. He seems to carry around so much anger and negativity in EVERY appearance that he does. He holds onto every bad thing that ever happened to him it seems. Bret talks more shit about the workers in the business than anyone I've seen. There truly isn't a bigger mark for themselves that The Hitman. I think that ever since Montreal his life took a drastic turn for the worse.

I believe that cancer can manifest itself physically through emotional duress and negativity. I think that is why Bret has found himself in this position. Hopefully he does kick out and submit cancer. If he does, I also hope he can find the light and let go of the past, otherwise he will just continue to rot away.

[drave]

Montreal was a work.

Good way of looking at it. Damn imators mom must have been a severely negative and bitter lady and that's why cancer came and took her titties

[Jordan]

I think my first sentence took care of your dick headedness.

[Theo Dious]

Lol he said titties.

This post makes me rage. When the sweetest, most caring person in your life dies six months after being diagnosed with cancer you wouldn't say about anybody that they brought it on themself by their negative attitude. Fuck.

The Hitman is using his celebrity to bring awareness to a terrible disease. Hopefully it helps raise money to find a cure.

[CSL]

I think what Fragile X was trying to say is that Bret definitely should have pushed his girlfriend around and given her a slap to get rid of his negativity

[drave]

Sean Connery isn't afraid to slap a bitch and he is living large at his point in his life. What CSL said holds weight (as usual)!

[Theo Dious]

CANCER SCREWED BRET

[Sixx]

I think what Fragile X was trying to say is that Bret definitely should have pushed his girlfriend around and given her a slap to get rid of his negativity

i think he's trying to say that if cancer was female, fragile x would beat it

pretty sure i made a post like that already, cause he spoke his mind about cancer in the past

[NormanSmiley]

Lol he said titties.

Jazzy foot didnt trademark titties

-- Bret Hart underwent prostate cancer surgery on 2/10 in Calgary and by all accounts, the procedure was a success. He had his prostate completely removed and doctors were confident that the cancer was contained and so he won't need any chemotherapy or radiation and should make a full recovery.

-- Hart had apparently known about having prostate cancer dating back to last summer, but had only told close family and even friends only found out days before he made the announcement on Facebook. Doctors felt that because it was a slow growing cancer, he didn't need immediate surgery and they pushed it back due to his recovery from a wrist operation that took longer than expected to rehab.

Awesome :y:
