Obviously, he had an incredible influence on what wrestling has become. He will be missed.

Even if i never seen any of Stu's matchs, the leader of the whole Hart clan deserves a tribute from all members of the Wrestling sports entertainment.
Rest in Peace
My condolences

Then Helen Hart dies. Now this. This is probably the most hardluck family in the wrestling world (moreso than the Von Erichs even).
Rest in peace, Stu. You've done the wrestling world a great service by simply being involved. I think guys like Lance Storm, Chris Benoit, Justin Liger, Chris Jericho, Hiro Hase, Steve Blackman and all the others you've trained would say the same.

What a life that guy had, the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
The impact he left on wrestling is almost beyond description when you look back and think about Stampede, the talent it produced, the style, and the way it was incorporated across the globe.
My condolences go out to all of the Hart family and friends. | Gugs

Sometimes I ask myself why I watch WWE after all the crap it's given me. HLA, necro, HHH, and so on. And then it hits me. That one simple phrase that can be modified and used for anything that gets you down, yet makes you keep coming back.
Every episode has the potential to be the best one ever, and I'll be damned if I'm going to miss it after sitting through this shit. | CANADIAN BULLDOG

Awful news. My prayers are with the Hart family.

Statement from Vince McMahon, Chairman,
World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.
It was with great sorrow that we learned today of the death of Stu Hart. Stu was a pioneer in professional wrestling. More importantly, he was a great man. His influence within our industry, his community and his country was immense. He will be missed, but his legend will live on. All of us at WWE™ send our condolences to Stu’s family. Our thoughts and our prayers are with them during this difficult time.

Dr. Wagner Jr., I do agree with when you said the Hart Family are most hardluck family in pro wrestling history. They're truly are the Kennedy Family of wrestling.
Is it me or has 2003 being the year to lose great wrestling stars and legends. I mean so many influental people have died this year. But you can mark my words now, because this is only the tipped of the iceberg. My fear is now complete, i now know the biggest death this year is yet to come.
I now mourn this lost terribly. Rest in Peace, Stu Hart, you will be missed by ALL in wrestling. But Vince McMahon just said it best sadly, "HIS LEGEND WILL INDEED LIVE ON FOREVER."

Wow ... what a legend ... Bless the guy ... think of all the hardships he had to deal with in the latter portion of his life. He's in a better place now.
My condolences to the Hart family.

My dad's stepfather recently passed away at the age of 83, after great suffering. It was not a tragedy, just the inevitable end to everything that lives. But it still hurts. It always does.
It would be classy for Stu's students to say something about him, or maybe have a tribute on Confidential.

He was greatfully successful. Without him, the wrestling world wouldn't be the same today. No Hart family, no Dungeon, and would people like Chris Benoit, Jericho, Lance Storm, etc. be the same without their Dungeon experience? Probably not.
