Default I Met Wrestling Legend Bret 'Hitman' Hart!!!

Spent 6+ hours in the rain behind 'Forbidden Planet' waiting to meet my childhood wrestling hero Bret The Hitman Hart.

Was worth the wait. No Words can describe the feeling of meeting someone who you grew up admiring.



Still on a High!!!

Was the 6 hours waiting in the rain part of an intricate stalking plan or were you in a queue?

Man, I hope it was a queue.

If it WAS a queue.... jeez.

I'd stand in a queue in the rain for 6 hours just to see the sort of special people that would stand in a queue, in the rain for 6 hours to meet some old wrestler who looks more like he should be outside in the rain near the same queue, selling the queuers a Big Issue.

That has got me thinking now. I guess 6 hours in the rain to say hi and get an autograph is totally pointless. 6 hours to then actually spend some time with "someone" whoever that is, I could maybe see that. I am now trying to work out who I WOULD wait in the rain to meet... hmm

lol

So go on, is there anyone? I had a good think before I posted, and there's literally no one. If it's just a signature and a shakey hand moment I don't think I'd do 30mins in the rain for anybody?

I've met famous people, and they're just like normal people, only famous!

The queue was massive but we got there well early so got to see him within 10minutes of the door being open. The queue was around the block to the front of the store.

But its different if its someone you grew up watching on TV when you were 5yrs. Its a nice memory to have even if it was a handshake and a quick little banter.

My guess is it's either:

A. 16th Century Renaissance Art

or

B. Wrestling



People saying he ain't aged well, but I can't see as he looks that bad for a 51 year old bloke. He's allowed to have a few grey hairs, lol

I used to have a Hart Foundation vest. Shame it was pink and black. I could only wear it under other clothes.
Explain again why you were in the rain for 6 hours. Was there a big queue just to see him or something? And what is Forbidden Planet?

Am I right in saying he can't walk properly now? apparently he fell off his bicycle,

Read on:

On June 24, 2002, Bret Hart suffered a stroke after hitting his head in a bicycle accident. The Calgary Herald reported that Hart hit a pothole, flew over the handlebars of the bike, and landed on the back of his head. Hart suffered total paralysis on his left side, which required months of physical therapy. Hart has since recovered much of his mobility and is in good health, although he suffers from an emotional imbalance and other lasting effects common to stroke survivors. Hart wrote in detail about his stroke in his autobiography, H

He can walk fine. He had to learn how to walk again. However he told me he just recently had his knees replaced but is walking fine.

He was on Talksport this afternoon, Andy Goldstein show i think. Seemed pretty decent.

FUCK standing for 6hours to shake his hand and ask him the same question the other 1000 people in the queue asked though! couldn't you come up with something more original for your once in a lifetime opportunity?!

I respect that you 'get' wrestling, and you're totally entitled to actively enjoy it, but surely you must see that for the majority of the adult population, men in tights pretending to fight does seem a bit silly.
