WWE Legend Shares Fond Memory of Bret Hart: “I Did the Sharpshooter as My Final Move and He Sent a Text to Me”

On Christmas week, Trish Stratus joined Renee Paquette and UFC fighter Miesha Tate on Throwing Down with Renee & Miesha to discuss a wide range of topics.

The Canadian spoke about Canada’s Got Talent, Bret Hart, Becky Lynch, and Christmas traditions. While discussing Bret Hart, Stratus couldn’t stop herself from sharing a story about the legend.

When Renee asked Trish how she felt about Bret’s induction, she said it was about time. The former women’s champion has also hosted an event with the Canada Walk of Fame back in 2006.

She said, “I remember bringing it up to them [Walk of Fame] and saying, ‘where’s my boy, Brett?’ Like, why are we not- you know, and it’s like, almost like they don’t recognize wrestling talent.”

“So I think for finally for them to recognize what we do as professional athletes and as far as entertainers was a huge win for us, you know, as wrestlers, but as Canadians, you know, I mean, like, he’s contributed so much,” Stratus said.

Renee added that it was cool to see Hart’s induction, and he deserved the honor.

“Bret Hart was one of the most famous people. I mean, so recognizable, especially in the world of professional wrestling, what his whole family has done for wrestling out of Canada.” The former WWE commentator said.

Trish Stratus revealed the text Bret Hart sent her after her retirement match.

Trish Stratus faced Lita in her final match in WWE for the women’s championship. She won her last match back in 2006 and retired as the champion.

She used the sharpshooter against Lita to tap her out. In the podcast, she shared that Bret texted her after her match and praised her for it.

“I remember back in the day, like when I did my, my, my Unforgiven match, my retirement match. I did the Sharpshooter as my- the final move.”

“He wrote- he sent a text to me, and you know, praised me for you doing that and thanked me, and it was just such a cool moment,” Trish said.

Stratus said she and Bret Hart have a great relationship, and he would always support her backstage. Bret always gave back to the business by supporting other Canadian wrestlers, and Trish was one of them.
