Bret Hart announces he has prostate cancer

[StuntGranny®]

My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer about a year ago. He had his prostate removed. It was an awful process/recovery, but he was able to take care of it before it spread. That's the "good" thing about prostate cancer, it spreads really slowly.

My dad kicked prostate cancer's ass and so can Bret Hart.

f***ing goddammn. Hope he can beat this.

I was even more worried at first when I read it as 'pancreatic cancer', which has the lowest survival rate. Thankfully I just read it wrong.

I did the same thing.

When I was a kid my two favorites were probably Bret Hart and The Undertaker. I know I owned a pair of the sunglasses. I wanted to dress as him for Halloween but my mom steered me towards another costume due to being worried about the bullying that would probably come with pink spandex.

YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM TOO, 2016.

This sucks. I'm sure that he can beat this. I know people have beaten this disease before and I know that Bret can join the list of people who have beaten this disease. I wish him nothing but the best.

f***ing Cancer. All my best to the Hitman.

[willywonka666]

Dammit! He's been through enough in his life and now this???

[BRAINFADE]

Cancer's rating? 4/10. Absolutely pulling for you Bret!

If there is a silver lining, it's that prostate cancer is the most treatable form. Having said that, with my own family history of cancer (grandma had a double mastectomy, lost my dad to leukemia, skin cancer is apparently a very common thing in my family as well), f*** cancer, it's a horrid disease.

All my thoughts and good wishes go to Bret, and to anyone else dealing with this scourge.

Keep fighting you are the best there is, the best there was, and best there ever will be.

Lost many important people to this thing including my dad at 47. I'm tired of the people I idolized falling to this.

[Nickybojelais]

Obviously sad news, but on the plus side I've been looking at some figures and 84% of those who have prostate cancer have a survival rate of 10+ years. So this isn't the death sentence many might perceive it to be.

Hopefully Bret makes this illness tap out to a sharpshooter.

Kenta Kobashi beat cancer with a Burning Hammer.
Liger beat it with a Running Liger Bomb and the original Shooting Star Press
Jim Duggan used that 2X4

Bret is going to Excellently Execute this.

[AJ Smudgico]

Dreadfully sad news. Reading what he posted though, it makes me think he'll take the fight to the cancer head on.

An all-time great and he'll be in my prayers for a long while

Cancer? 0/10.

f*** you, cancer.

Best wishes, Hitman.

[KobashiChop]

He kicked out of the Perfect Plex. Cancer can f*** off.

[Fuji's racist salt]

steel plate under the jockstrap is going to stop that cancer. Best of luck Bret,an all time legend

[lionelp]

Godspeed, Hitman.

[Ginger Beer Man]

Ah hell, sucks to hear that. Best wishes to the Hitman.

[BR329]

f*** cancer. Go kick some ass hitman.

[spagett]

Hogan was the one who got me into wrestling initially but Bret was my first proper favourite.

A real childhood hero.

I'm sure he will beat it.

[RedDevil]

f***. f***, f***, f***, f***. f***!!!

He is my favourite ever wrestler, the man who made me a fan, and basically the only way I could make it through the New Generation was my idolisation of the Hitman. I can't begin to process this, not after everything else he's had to go through in his life. Damn cancer 

2016 has just been relentlessly awful
