  • Bret Hart posts positive message following surgery for Prostate cancer

    Bret Hart posted on Instagram on Friday a positive message after his surgery for prostate cancer on Wednesday in Calgary.

    “Surgery’s over and on the long road to recovery. I want to thank Dr. Hyndman and the nursing staff at Rocky View Hospital for an outstanding job. I also want to thank my family, friends and fans for all your love and support. Things are looking up and I should be home in the next couple of days. In the words of Vince McMahon: “It’s onwards and upwards.”

    Hart was recovering from four-corner right wrist surgery which makes writing and typing very difficult.

    Hart announced publicly on 2/1 that he had prostate cancer and that surgery was imminent. He briefly attended the WWE house show in Calgary on Friday night where his niece, Natalya, performed.

  • DragonKingKarl Show: The death of Mark Nulty, pro wrestling historians, Canadian Wrestling

    DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Audio Show: Thinking About Mark Nulty and Classic Wrestling History. On this show I want to take a little time and reflect on the contributions of Wrestling Classics owner and former announcer Mark Nulty to the wrestling history community and just where does pro wrestling history stand? What are we still following wrestling for and what is it doing for us? Why are the demographics of wrestling skewed so old and why do wrestling promoters ignore it? We will follow up on a recent conversation between Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez on a recent Wrestling Observer Radio show and take a more detailed look at what it all means.  Then we will examine the biggest draws in wrestling history and talk about who the biggest draw in Canadian history might be and discuss names like Whipper Billy Watson, Gene Kiniski, Bret Hart, Yvon Robert, Roddy Piper, Bret Hart, and more.

  • Wrestling Weekly: Daniel Bryan retires, Titus O’Neal suspension

    Les and Vic return after a brief absence to explain why they’ve been gone and to get into the biggest stories of the week. Of course, that means starting with the retirement of Daniel Bryan, aka. Bryan Danielson (12:23), including memories and personal interactions with him from Les and Vic’s theory on why Bryan was someone who no matter what WWE did or didn’t do with him, the fans just wouldn’t let him fade away. That takes us to the importance of “shifting gears” (32:13); why changing things up from normal patterns is good. 

    Then, we’ll open up the mailbag (42:45) for Les to share his personal concussion history and how the business treated head injuries in his day, the suspension of Titus O’Neal (45:53) and what is appropriate conduct between wrestler and promoter, and who from today would Les have enjoyed getting into the ring with (69:05). Thanks for listening and have a great weekend~!
