"I had a chance to catch up with Nattie and Harry (Natalya and David Hart Smith in WWE) this past weekend and I had my first chance to show off my Chinese fighting dog, Jojo.  Even Harry was impressed with the wrestling knowledge that my dog possesses and Jojo surprised him with his takedowns and submission holds.  He was curious to know how Jojo would fare in his upcoming tournament.where he'll put on an exhibition against Guido Sanchez a young chihuahua who has his orange belt and has won several bouts with his finisher leg lock. Animal activists will be glad to know Jojo has never gone to the throat yet, and tends to let his opponents up after scoring his pinfall or a submission.

"It was great being invited back to drop the puck for the Calgary Hitmen this past Sunday for the 15th anniversary celebration. I had a great time at the game and though, unfortunately, the Hitmen lost their first game of the season, they're presently tearing up the league with a 6-1 record and have been touted as the number one ranked junior team in Canada for the third year in a row. I want to wish them all the best for what looks like another great season and I recommend to all classic Hitman fans to check out the cool throwback jerseys. It was what I envisioned all along. Let's go Hitmen!" -Bret

"Everyone's got to face down the demons.

Maybe today...We can put the past away!"

When the music hits, the first few notes will send a shiver down fans' spines. The familiar sound that was the beginning of Bret Hart's entrance music will stir fans' emotions.

Alberta will have a home team again.

Former WWE star Bret The Hitman Hart creates another smash hit

MIAMI HERALD WRITER

      Bret's book debuted at #5 on the UK Sunday Times bestseller list last weekend - and Bret arrived  over there after that for book signings in England and Ireland. 

      UK fans, Bret thanks you for this fabulous book release and he looks forward to meeting you all at the book signings.   By the way, you don't have to wait until a signing to buy a book.  Pick up your copy now and bring it along to the signing.  (Keep your receipt, if possible).

        Hey, how does that old Hitman soccer chant go - complete with stomp and clap?  We Want The Hit- MAN !!      That particular chant only ever happened in the UK, you know?  (We're sure Bret would love to hear it again.....  wink wink...   Memories, eh?)

This morning Bret Hart's management became aware of an interview with Bret posted by Cornelius Wilson of wrestling-edge.com.   As Bret's management did not schedule this interview or know anything about it we asked Bret if he had, in fact, done the interview.  He said he did no such interview.  The so-called interview is completely phony.

Join Bret and CBC radio host Russell Bowers on the Daybreak morning show when Bret calls in from Hawaii for a talk about the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania and the wrestling business today.

Nattie Neidhart: Professional Wrestler

     On Saturday, December 20th Bret was interviewed by Paul Jay,  maker of the critically acclaimed landmark documentary, Wrestling With Shadows  (and about 30 others!).    The new interview will be included in a collectors edition DVD set commemorating the 10th anniversary of the release of Wrestling With Shadows, which will be available  soon.  Bret did the interview from home in Calgary while recuperating from knee surgery. And what is Paul doing now?  We encourage you to watch these videos in which Paul explains the mission statement of TheRealNews Network.  

      If you'd like to inquire about booking Bret for an interview, autograph session,  book signing or a speaking engagement please send an email directly to   office@brethart.com.    Please include as much info as possible about the date and city in which you'd like to book Bret to appear and at what kind of event.  Also include your full name and contact info, including your email address and phone.  Bret does appearances worldwide.  We look forward to hearing from you.

     I want to take this opportunity to thank my fans from all over the world for their well wishes during my knee surgery. A couple of weeks ago I was invited to visit The Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C.  I got to see and meet the real heroes of the free world, who, without knowing it, gave me more than enough courage to have total knee replacement surgery.
