The 58-year-old - regarded as one of the greatest ever wrestlers - told fans that he has been diagnosed with the disease and will be undergoing surgery imminently.
Bret, one of the most celebrated wrestlers in WWE history, posted a long explanation about the diagnosis and his uncertain future on his official Instagram account, and revealed that surgeons will soon operate on him.

He wrote: "I've had a great lifelong dance and I'm a survivor of many hard battles. I now face my toughest battle.
"With hesitation and fear, I openly declare myself in my fight against prostate cancer.
"In the next few days, I will undergo surgery with the hope of defeating this nemesis once and for all.
"My fans have always looked upon me as a hero and I've always done my best to live up to that in and out of the ring. I beat the odds when I suffered my stroke in 2002, but it is now yet again, that I ... stand unafraid and face the tough road ahead of me, I will march toward this destiny with his spirit chanting in my ear.
"I make a solemn vow to all of those that once believed in me, the dead and the living, that I will wage my fearsome fight against cancer with one shield and one sword carrying my determination and my fury for life, emboldened by all the love that's kept me going this long already.
"Love is my weapon and I've got much of it around me all the time, for which I'm truly blessed and eternally grateful.
"My children, grandchildren, and my loving wife Steph have been and will constantly be at my side. I refuse to lose, I will never give in or give up, and I will win this battle or die trying.
"Most important of all, I hope can take the fight to prostate cancer. To be a leader in awareness and to set the example for men everywhere who find themselves in my very same shoes, that prostate cancer can be beaten."
Bret's wrestling career spans twenty-three years, and his famed finishing move the 'spike piledriver' earned him countless titles.
