WWE Legends: Bret Hart Interview
By Jon Robinson
The Hart Foundation, Vince McMahon, alcohol and a strip club. Sounds like a recipe for a riot. But to legendary "Hitman" Bret Hart, this combination led to one of the craziest off-camera moments in what Hart calls the "cartoon world" of professional wrestling.

Bret's Comments on The Wrestler - Macleans Magazine
The Hitman versus ‘The Wrestler’
The Wrestler is being lauded as the definitive portrayal of pro wrestling, but I submit that’s only because no one has asked a real wrestling champion about it—until now. In the movie, Randy “The Ram” Robinson was a main-eventer who sold out Madison Square Garden. So was I. The movie opens with a montage of clippings and event posters eerily similar to the ones in my personal collection. I lived that life for real. I liked the movie, and I’m disturbed by it.

Monte Williams' Column about Bret at PopMatters.com
"His appeal was simple: in a surreal world dedicated to a uniquely haphazard and comically inept breed of pretense, Bret Hart made everything seem real...."

Welcome Bret's new pug, Jojo
I thought my fans might want to see my new dog Jojo. My rotten Italian ex-wife, Cinzia, along with the rest of her family, refused to give me back my old Chinese Fighting Dog (pug) Coombs, upon our divorce, despite Coombs having been with me throughout the passings of my brother Owen, my Dad, my Mother and my stroke. So finally I had no choice but to replace Coombs (pictured on the back sleeve of my book) with a worthy replacement. Heck, I barely had Jojo home when I looked out my kitchen window to see him gripping a baby doe by the nose and dragging him up my front steps. When I charged outside, it distracted Jojo enough for the young deer to free itself and with its long legs it was able to sprint away with me, bad knee and all, racing along beside the two of them trying to prevent any more bloodshed.
Wednesday, December 3, 2008
As posted here last week, Bret was scheduled for major reconstructive knee surgery on Monday, December 1, 2008. We're happy to let all of Bret's fans and friends around the world know that he came through the surgery just fine. Bret is grateful for all the wonderful letters of support. For anyone who still doesn't get how "real" pro wrestling is, here's a picture of Bret's knee two days after surgery. (This picture is posted with Bret's knowledge and consent.) He'll give us a comment to post as soon as he feels up to it.
