Bret Hart's Calgary: Famed pro wrestler tours most memorable places in his home town
The fights, the laughs and places in Calgary that changed 'The Hitman'
Originally published Feb. 5.
He's a Calgary legend.
Earlier this week, pro-wrestling hall of famer Bret 'The Hitman' Hart announced he's been diagnosed prostate cancer.
The 58-year-old pledged to wage a "fearsome fight" against the disease, "carrying my determination and my fury for life, emboldened by all the love that's kept me going this long already."
Bret, of course, is a member of the famous Hart wrestling dynasty. His family is one of the best known in our city. Their history is a part of our history.
A couple weeks back, before his cancer announcement, we asked Bret to show us around his Calgary, as part of our Calgary at a Crossroads project.
Bret and the CBC's Mike Symington hit the road.
And boy did Bret ever have some stories to tell.
It's Calgary, like you just might remember it.
