Bret Hart Diagnosed With Skin Cancer
'The Hitman' thankfully caught it early and will undergo surgery soon.
Bret 'The Hitman' Hart hit social media with some potentially worrying news a few short hours ago, revealing that he had been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma - one of the most common forms of skin cancer.
Here's what the WWE legend posted to Instagram:-
The good news, obviously, is that he appears to have caught it early, and that he's going under the knife to have the cancerous cells removed. Thank god for that.
It has been a tumultuous few years for 'The Hitman.' 2019 saw him jumped at WWE's Hall of Fame ceremony, with an idiot assailant tackling him to the ground as he was being inducted alongside fellow Hart Foundation member Jim Neidhart. Hart was fine, as a horde of wrestlers and security staff charged the ring to pull the assailant away and dish out some swift justice, with the attacker detained by local authorities after the event.
Bret was able to attend WrestleMania 35 the following night and made a special appearance at AEW Double or Nothing in May, where he unveiled the AEW World Championship. He has been relatively quiet since then.
Get well soon, 'Hitman.' Here's to a swift recovery.
