The Resume

    (May 3, 1915-October 16, 2003)
    Died at 88
    Owned Calgary Stampede Wrestling
    Author of 'Stu Hart – Lord of the Ring'

Why he might be annoying:

    His had a very gravely voice and it was hard to understand him.
    Since his days as a wrestler were so long ago, most of today's fans have never seen his matches.
    It is almost impossible to find footage of his work in the ring.
    Many accuse him of nepotism, as his sons were the top stars of his promotion, Calgary Stampede Wrestling.
    Due to the WWE going national and taking companies out of business, Stu just sold Stampede to the WWE in 1984.
    He called the basement of his home where he trained wrestlers ‘The Dungeon.'
    Many fans trashed him for attending a WWE event and being shown on camera after his son Owen was killed while working for the company.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He wrestled for more than four decades.
    He's a hero in Canada, especially Calgary.
    He's the patriarch of one of the most dominant wrestling families ever.
    All his sons became involved in wrestling and all his daughters married wrestlers.
    As a trainer, he was able to make men 50 years younger than him scream in agony in a matter of seconds.
    He was well-liked and respected in the business, mainly due to training some of the top names in wrestling, including Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Brian Pillman, Jake Roberts, Jushin Liger, Lance Storm, the Junkyard Dog and the British Bulldogs.
    He's a member of the Wrestling-Observer Hall of Fame.
    He had two sons, Dean and Owen, who died before him.
