The greatest wrestler to ever step foot in a ring was born today. This should be the wrestling holiday, and Bret should be honoured. His legacy lives on through those of us who were lucky enough to witness him tell stories in the ring everytime he wrestled in one. Happy Birthday Bret, hope it's a great one.
