Stampede Wrestling: Bruce Hart Staging A Calgary Comeback

http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/09/04/stampede-wrestling-comeback-calgary_n_1855346.html

CBC Calgary is reporting that Bruce Hart, a former wrestler and second oldest child of Stampede Wrestling's founding family, is training wrestlers and hopes to have them ring-ready for a televised event in November.

The goal is to return to the roots of the original Stampede Wrestling venture and there are no plans to bring Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment into the fold.

"Stampede (Wrestling) was sort of like two guys going at it and a lot more action than talk, and WWE is about 60 per cent talk and about 40 per cent action — not all that spectacular either," Hart told CBC Calgary.
This is the second time in recent years a Hart family member has pitched to bring the live ring back to Canada.

In October 2011, Smith Hart - the oldest of the Hart children - appeared on Dragon's Den, pitching the return of Stampede Wrestling to Canada's most famous investors.

I've been writing a tribute song too - We're Having A Party Ed Whelan (And You're Not Invited)
