King of Harts

[NOSLEEP]

Some of you may of heard of the passing of <br />Stu Hart last week. He is the head of Calgary's<br />world famous wrestling dynasty. His funeral was<br />today. I had the pleasure of meeting him several<br />times and even enjoyed a dinner with him and his<br />lovely wife Helen who passed away in 2001. <br />He ran Stampede wrestling until WWF bought him<br />out in the early 80'S.<br />The dungeon is a little darker now.

Yes it is NOSLEEP.<br /><br />You know that a big part of him went out the window when Bret died.<br /><br />That family has had it's share of deaths to young people, with Davy Boy Smith, Bret and Owen.<br /><br />It is a sad day in the wrestling world.

I went to Owens funeral SBN, I talked with<br />Bret at a hockey game a few months ago. Davey boy<br />leased a car from me years ago. Stu had many <br />friends and the wrestling world owes a great deal<br />of its popularity to Stu and his family.

Oh yea. They were one of the starters of the sport.<br /><br />Now its just a money/ratings game.

Re: King of Harts

Sorry snapper, Davey Boy died in June of 2002 from what they are saying as a heart attack, but he was a frequent known drug user so who knows, he was 39 I think,<br /><br />Bret is still kicking, my bad, but not doing much nowadays.

Re: King of Harts

The sport is a shameful display of what it once<br />was. Although when Stu was young its roots <br />evolved from a circus routine. I remember as a kid<br />enjoying Stampede Wrestling and all the different<br />characters especially Andre the Giant.
