NBF Glad you follow wrestling such as I do .I was a former wrestling reporter and to my knowledge he as some know as a concusision problem due to his last match with Goldberg.When he suffered a stiff kick to the head.He was riding his motorcycle the other day and apparently had a brain stroke and feel off his bike.Bret Hart is one of my favorites of all time I'll be praying that everythings ok.

bduff is naive all the time.

There's no doubt in my mind that wrestlers take steroids. It's alright to question something like this because steroids are so prevelant in our society.

To update on Bret Hart, doctors say that his situation is improving, however, he is in for a very long and arduous recovery. Hart suffered many concussions throughout his illustrious wrestling career, but doctors have said they were not the cause of his stroke. E-mail wishes to Bret can be sent to marcyengelstein@aol.com or to him at 74094, 144-555 Strathcona Blvd., Calgary, AB T3H 3B6 Canada. It has been requested that no flowers be sent to him.Just to fill u in on Davey Boy he pased away a few weeks ago due to heart complications..

Bulldog was also taking about 3000 mg of steroids per week. 10 times the medical dosage.

How can anyone immediately attribute Brett's blood clot to steroid use?? It's absolutely ridiculous when you know the reason he retired was due to a kick to the head.

A friend of mine has been through a similar ordeal. When he was about 2 years old, he fell off his front porch steps and landed on his head suffered a bad concussion. Doctors said he'd be ok. But ever since then, he has suffered seizures every so often. And the doctors acknowledge that it's because of his childhood accident. But they still can't pinpoint what's wrong.

All I'm saying is that if the shot that Brett took from Goldberg was severe enough to force him to quit the sport he loves more than anything, then it's more than obvious that it's the cause of Brett's brain troubles.

Considering the history of drug use in the sport of pro wrestling it's not a reach to think it had something to do with this. Upon further review this case is different but to instantly think drugs had something to do with this isn't a streatch.

player???????????? "what did i tell you Bduff" what the hell are you talking about????????? I never said The Brithis Bulldog wasn't on steroids just look at the guy for god's sake but BBret the hitman Hart didn't even look huge so where do you get off calling a guy that is fighting for the use of his left arm and leg a steroid abuser?
