More bad luck for the Hart Family... From the Calgary Herald
(Jun 28) CALGARY (CP) - Legendary Calgary wrestler Bret (The Hitman) Hart has suffered a mild stroke and was in stable condition in a Calgary hospital, his personal assistant said Thursday.
"He's making phenomenal progress," Marcy Engelstein told the Calgary Herald. Wrestling historian and author Dave Meltzer reported on his Web site wrestlingobserver.com that Hart's stroke resulted from a bicycle accident Monday.
Meltzer said Hart was riding at high speeds when his bicycle hit a pothole. The wrestler flew over the handlebars and landed on the back of his head. After a battery of tests at an unnamed Calgary hospital, Hart was told he had suffered a stroke on the right side of his brain.
Hart, a former world wrestling champion with both the World Wrestling Federation and Ted Turner's now defunct World Championship Wrestling, was forced to retire in 2000 after he suffered a concussion during a match with the wrestler Goldberg.
Hart was warned that he could suffer a stroke if he took another blow to the head.
When contacted Thursday evening, Bret's father, Stu Hart said: "He did have an accident while riding his bike and he's in the hospital."
Calgary hospitals say they have no patient checked in under the name Bret Hart.
A family insider, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed Hart suffered a stroke.
Meltzer's Web site reports Hart has made "great progress since Monday, but has very limited control of the left side of his body."
