Following the release of the audio documentary, "Our Star: A Look At The Life of Canadian Professional Wrestler, Leo Burke", it seemed fitting to share the full-length, raw interview audio with the guests that helped make the special possible.

Bret "Hitman" Hart needs little introduction to wrestling fans of any age or era.  What many may not know is just how much of a role Leo Burke played in Bret Hart's ascension in the world of professional wrestling.

More than just a protege of Leo Burke's, hear how Leo's lessons impacted the man who would start as one of many wrestling brothers, who would reach the status of legend.  While known as the "Excellence of Execution", you'll hear how Bret Hart would first learn his way around a wrestling ring, thanks to Leo Burke.

Following the release of the audio documentary, "Our Star: A Look At The Life of Canadian Professional Wrestler, Leo Burke", it seemed fitting to share the full-length, raw interview audio with the guests that helped make the special possible.

"The World's Strongest Man," Mark Henry, set records in the gym, and over time, in the wrestling world, but it almost came to a screeching halt early in his career. After getting one of the first guaranteed contracts in WWE, as an untrained pro wrestler, Mark found himself ostracized in the locker room which he would need to work with.

After a few close calls, Bret Hart would convince Mark to join his finishing school in Calgary, thus turning Mark into a student of Leo Burke.

The lessons Mark would learn about how to act in and out of the wrestling ring forged a new level of respect for the man who would become a multiple time World champion, and an eventual Hall of Fame wrestler.
