Bret Hart is considered one of the greatest technical wrestlers of his era and most of his matches could be considered 5-star classics, particularly the ones against Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The British Bulldog, and The Undertaker.

Now, to be clear, Bret Hart's current cancer is unfortunate but it isn't life-threatening. Early treatment is said to be the most preventable measure. At the age of 62, the Hitman has seen worse, but it's never easy to be diagnosed with any form of cancer.
