Hart has previously had medical issues when he suffered a stroke back in 2002. He plans to “defeat the odds” for a second time. As when he was an elite athlete in the ring he will have just as many supporting outside of the ring with his battle against cancer.
One of the greatest role models in sports entertainment, the Canadian icon remains “the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be”. He also made pink look masculine. Let’s hope he comes through well.
