Bret Hart inducted into the Canada’s Walk of Fame

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

Pro wrestling legend Bret Hart was added to Canada’s Walk of Fame on Monday in his hometown of Calgary, Alberta. Hart’s plaque will be added to the Victoria Pavilion, which is the same building that played host to his father’s Stu Hart’s Stampede Wrestling events. “Coming down here on Friday nights was something I did from the time I was about five years old until I was 27,” Hart stated during a ceremony. “In a lot of ways, it was my playground or my second home right here.” Read more on the induction at CalgaryHerald.com

Powell’s POV: Hart was also given $10,000 to donate to charity as part of his induction. He split the donation between the Siksika Nation’s SN7 and Water First charities. Thanks to Dot Net reader David for passing along the story.

  1. Like the WWE (imaginary) Hall of Fame, please, everyone go look at who also has their name on the Canada Walk of Fame, and you’ll realize how “flattering” this is…

    Just in case anyone is as dumb as mjoseph, here’s a list of who’s on our walk of fame. Sorry it’s not as impressive as an American one, but we have a fraction of their population

    • They give the Canadian recipients $10,000 to donate to charity, whereas the Hollywood version requires that those who nominate a celebrity to pay $40,000. I can’t say I know much about Canada’s version, but it seems to be more of a legit honor and less of a money maker for the people behind it.
