|'''[[Bret Hart]]'''}}
Hailing from Calgary, Alberta, [[Canada]], Bret was a member of the Hart [[Wrestling Family]] and was trained by his father Stu in the famous "Hart Dungeon". Easily the most successful member of the family he would hold the WWF World Championship several times, alongside Tag Team and Intercontinental title reigns.
Line 9 ⟶ 10:
Bret had a very troubled career. The most notable instance of this is the infamous [[Montreal Screwjob]], where he was screwed out of the World Title in Canada as he was leaving for [[WCW]] and [[Vince McMahon]] feared him leaving with the belt. Bret was poorly used in WCW, never again attaining the levels of success of his WWF run and his stint would be marred by the death of his younger brother [[Owen Hart]]. His career would eventually end due to a concussion suffered in a match with [[Goldberg]] and a stroke several years later would ensure he would never wrestle again.
Bret would return to what is now the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] in 2010, making sporadic appearances in a non-wrestling role at pay-per-views and ''[[Monday Night Raw]]''.
As per usual, [[wikipedia:Bret Hart|That Other Wiki]] has an extensive article on his career and life.

* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: Averted. Following a concussion caused by an errant kick from Bill [[Goldberg]], Bret was eventually forced to retire; the aftereffects of the concussion, combined with a stroke he suffered a few years later, has ensured that it will be practically impossible for Bret to ever wrestle again.
** There's also the fact that he is ''legally incapable'' of stepping in a wrestling ring, due to him cashing in a insurance policy by Lloyds of London.
