DALLAS (CBSDFW) - Bret The Hitman Hart made a very sad announcement on his social media accounts today.

The former wrestler reveled that he is battling prostate cancer.

"I've had a great lifelong dance and I'm a survivor of many hard battles," the 58-year-old Hart said. "I now face my toughest battle. With hesitation and fear, I openly declare myself in my fight against prostate cancer."
