Bret Hart to receive honorary degree from Mount Royal University

Before Bret “Hit Man” Hart was schooling opponents in a WWE ring, he was getting some education of his own as a film student at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
This Friday, The Excellence of Execution returns to campus — a far cry from the notorious Hart Family Dungeon where he honed his in-ring craft — to receive an honorary Bachelor of Physical Literacy degree.
I enrolled at @mountroyal4u in 77 to learn film. I ended up taking a different path that allowed me to see the world while representing Calgary and Canada.
