Hart became the first wrestler to receive this Star honor in Canada. Bret was inducted to this honor in 2021. But couldn’t receive it due to Covid-19 restrictions. Bret was one of many to receive this honor on Friday with quite a few fans cheering for them.

“I don’t think we ever got credit for being great actors, we never got credit for being great athletes. And we’re both. We’re great storytellers, we’re great actors, we’re great athletes. We’re amazing artists,” said Hart from the red carpet. “And I think me being on the Walk of Fame is hopefully a start for guys like Edge and other guys to be on the Walk of Fame. [Or] Trish Stratus, another great Canadian wrestler. It doesn’t just start or end with Bret Hart.”

“It’s funny all these years later to have my own square on the Walk of Fame,” Bret continued.

“It’s a big honor. It really means a lot to me. It’s one thing to be appreciated as a wrestler, it’s another thing to be appreciated as a Canadian.” h/t PostWrestling.com

Hart when talking to Post Wrestling on the red carpet said this Star honor has opened the way for many wrestlers. He said this won’t just end with me being the only wrestler to win it but the beginning of it.
