Bret Hart Gives Heartfelt Speech About Roddy Piper At Wrestling Event

During a wrestling event in Villa Park, Illinois last night Bret Hart came to the ring and paid tribute to Roddy Piper with a beautiful speech which you can check out in the video above.

Bret Hart also wrote a heartfelt post about the passing of his friend Roddy Piper. He talked about how close the two were and how much of an impact Roddy had on his life. You can read what he wrote below.

“I can’t find the words to describe the sorrow in my heart upon learning the news of my dear friend, Roddy Piper, passing away. He was my closest friend in the business, a man that schooled me and guided me throughout my career. In fact, if it wasn’t for Roddy Piper reaching out to help me, I’m sure I would’ve been a mere footnote in wrestling. He was always there for me. He was family to me, a brother who loved me and was there for me through my darkest days. He was the only wrestler to come visit me when I suffered a stroke in 2002. He totally made me at Wrestlemania 8 in our classic match. Passing a torch that many from that era couldn’t conceive of doing. We always called each other “cuz” because we were so close. I loved you Roddy, and I’ll miss you and your laugh for the rest of my days. I’m stunned and the hole in my heart will widen as it sinks in that I lost a brother of such great worth. What a tragic loss to all that knew him.”
