Here's your fight size update for Sunday, December 19, 2021
- Bret Hart thanked Canadian pro wrestlers on Instagram after his Canadian Walk of Fame induction speech including Edge, Kenny Omega, and Kevin Owens.
What a wild ride it's been! Thank you again to @cwofame for the honour and my fans across Canada and around the world for making it happen. Special thank you to @chrisjerichofozzy for inducting me and @therock for the kind words. I know you both are busy men, and I greatly appreciate that you did that for me.
While sadly this was cut out of my speech due to time constraints, I do want to say thank you to each and every wrestler I ever worked with. Thank you to the many Canadian wrestlers that paved the way for me: my father Stu, Gene Kiniski, Abdullah the Butcher, “Killer” Kowalski, “The Stomper”, Ed Carpentier, “Whipper” Watson, Sky Low Low, Rocky Johnson, Pat Patterson, Roddy Piper.
To the many other Canadian wrestlers, some that filled my shoes after my career ended, that someday will deserve this same honour: Chris Jericho, Edge, Trish Stratus, Kevin Owens, Kenny Omega, my niece Natalya, my brother Owen, and so many more.

Thank you and Happy Holidays!
- The Rock inducted Bret Hart in the Hall of Fame:
My pleasure, Bret Hart was a mentor to me when he didn’t have to be and in our wild and intense world of pro wrestling, there weren’t many “mentorship programs” back then -- He gave me guidance and I’ll always be grateful. Congrats my friend on your incredible accomplishment -- https://t.co/VEwSy5q9Wc

- Badstreet’s back, alright: Miranda Gordy set to make Major League Wrestling debut in Dallas:
“I consider Dallas as one of my homes. Not only is it where I began my wrestling career, it is home to the Sportatorium, which is where a lot of my legacy begins,” Gordy told The News. “When you think wrestling in Dallas, you immediately think about the Von Erichs vs. the Freebirds, so I feel that this is going to be a very special occasion to have not only myself but the Von Erich boys on the same card.”
