Last year, classic wrestling fans were informed of the terrible news that Rick Harris, better known as Black Bart, was battling Stage 4 Cancer. In the words of the late Beth Chapman from Dog the Bounty Hunter, “There ain’t no Stage 5.” Well, in typical Black Bart fashion, he has met this challenge with the baddest, meanest, toughest fight he has to give. In an update posted last week, Bart gave a health update as he continues to undergo chemotherapy. You can see that below.
