Bret Hart

Bret Sergeant Hart, nicknamed the Hitman, is a Canadian and American retired professional wrestler born on July 2, 1957, and a member of the Hart wrestling family. He joined his father Stu Hart promotion Stampede Wrestling in 1976 as a referee and made his in-ring debut in 1978. In the World Wrestling Federation he led the Hart Foundation stable and was the face of the New Generation Era, bringing technical wrestling to the fore of mainstream North American wrestling in the early to mid 1990s. He left for World Championship Wrestling after the controversial Montreal Screwjob in November 1997 and retired in October 2000 after a concussion, with a sporadic return to WWE from 2010 to 2011. He headlined WrestleMania 9, 10 and 12, held championship titles in five decades, and won 32 titles in his career.
