Bret Hart Receiving Special Honor For Charity
That’s a unique honor. Wrestlers have a weird celebrity status as they are indeed television stars, but there is a pretty firm limit to what that can mean. Ultimately, they are only wrestlers and it is very rare to see them move higher up in the celebrity world. It does happen every now and then, and this time one of them is getting quite the honor for the second time. The Calgary Hitmen hockey team has announced the second annual Bret “Hitman” Hart game, which will take place in partnership with the Prostate Cancer Centre of Calgary on March 5, 2022. There will also be a Prairie Wrestling Alliance wrestling event after the game. The game will see the Hitmen wear special Hart themed jerseys, which will then be auctioned off, with proceeds going to the Prostate Cancer Centre. Hart has done some great things in the ring. Check out some of his better moments: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play..

REVIEW: In Your House: Canadian Stampede: Oh….Canada
Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be? In Your House #16: Canadian Stampede Date: July 6, 1997 Location: Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta, Canada Attendance: 12,151 Commentators: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, Vince McMahon This is a show I’ve been waiting to get to for a very long time. Canadian Stampede is considered one of the best shows of all time and ran away with the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Award for show of the year. There are only four matches on the card, but even with so few matches the card is nothing short of stacked. Let’s get to it. The opening..

Fast forward one year later and Mahal is coming off of a WWE United States Title reign. Following Jinder's capturing of the U.S. Title at WrestleMania 34 he spoke with Natalya for this week's edition of her weekly blog post onto the Calgary Sun.

One month after falling short in the WrestleMania 33 'Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal', Jinder was shot to the top of the card and would soon become WWE Champion. “My rise in WWE was kick-started by my physical transfor..
