Hart said in a statement, “I’m very excited to be involved in the first ever Bret Hart Invitational Tournament at X-Fest this year! The tournament is a way for me to showcase some extremely talented professional wrestlers from all over North America and put my stamp on an event I intend on doing for many years to come. I’m also very excited to present the “Stu Hart Championship Belt” to the winner of the tournament! This beautiful belt is the first ever belt created in my father’s name. This should help to further my father’s legacy as a true pioneer and leader in this industry and will bring instant credibility around the world to our champion. I want to thank Union Events for making this event happen and look forward to seeing all the exciting action during X-Fest weekend!”
