August 11, Wrestling was a constant presence as he grew up in Calgary and set out on a sports entertainment path. It was a journey that led him to a Hall of Fame career in the World Wrestling Federation, worldwide stardom and now an induction into Canada's Walk of Fame.
Of the many accolades he has received, Hart said he's proud of this latest distinction for its national flavour. The inductees were first announced in early October. The eighth child of wrestling patriarch Stu Hart and his wife Helen, Bret Hart grew up in a household with seven brothers and four sisters. As a young boy, Hart would often pretend his eating utensils were wrestlers. He'd fill notepads with drawings of wrestlers. Hart would also watch as his father trained grapplers in the basement of the family home.
It wasn't long before Hart was play-wrestling with his brothers and other kids on the grass outside the Victoria Pavilion where his father ran regular Stampede Wrestling shows.
Hart would later sell programs at the arena before sitting behind the timekeeper for a wide-eyed ringside view of the action. He called it a year mat education before his own entry into the squared circle. I think that's why I was as good as I was.
