Happy Birthday to the GOAT, brethitmanhart! 🎂🍾🥳💕

Bret Hart was one of my childhood heroes and the definition of cool. Meeting him years later was a full-circle moment after being too nervous to get his autograph as a kid. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to get to know him and his family, and I’m grateful to call many of them friends.

No matter how many times I see him, there’s always that feeling of meeting a legend. They say don’t meet your heroes, but Bret has never disappointed me.

He inspired generations of wrestlers and fans, represented Canada with pride, and helped make me a lifelong wrestling fan. He’ll always be the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

Appreciate you, Hitman! 🙏🏽❤️
