Summary: Best there is
Comment: This is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be of wrestling books!

Summary: What could have been...
Comment: I came into this book with an open mind. However, Bret Hart's book was supposedly based on "fact" because he carried around a tape recorder for twenty years so he'd remember, right? Not quite, too many times things seemed to change to make Bret look like the good guy when events have been noted to have happened different ways in other books.
It was nice to see a lot of things from Bret's perspective, but let's get real, the man has been whining non stop for nearly 12 years now...did you think the book was going to be any different?
Hogan? Sure, everyone had an issue with Hogan, but Bret, who do you think packed those arenas for you before you and Anvil had ever put pink on the first time?
Flair? Bret, when you try to say that Flair isn't one of the best workers AND ring generals of all time, you put yourself in a class with Scotty Steiner...when it comes to common sense, not a good class to be in.
Michaels? Why Bret? Because he did what the boss said? Because he had clearly surpassed you both in and out of the ring? Because he is still one of the top 5 wrestlers in North America today? I will give Bret credit for one thing when it comes to Shawn though, he never EVER tried to say Shawn wasn't a great worker...there is no way he could have said that and had anyone believe another word of his book.
However, if you got around the "everyone screwed me, I'm the best there is..." crap, you got some great insight into the locker room and the Hart Family. Take it with a grain of salt, of course, but it was still very, very interesting.
Very well written, very eloquent, very good story...if you could have just stopped all the whining you would have almost has something as good as Jericho and Foley's debut books...almost.

Summary: The Best Wrestling Bio
Comment: I read Bret's book and over the summer and all I can say is that this Book is a must read for any Hitman fan and it will appeal to any wrestling fan and mark. A true story that puts you in the POV of Hart and he does not hold back. He talks about other peoples faults while doing the same to himself. It really shed a lot of light on the Hitman. I thought I knew everything about Bret via the internet, but this book really puts it all into perspective. I really enjoyed this book and I just could not put it down.

Summary: he is not telling the whole story
Comment: bret hart was my favorite wrestler and i wanted to buy the book just to listen his side of the story i also have the book of shawn michaels and i wanted to compare notes for example shawn michaels talks about him sleeping with sunny a diva wrestler back in the 90s and shes was married to another wrestler chris candido and in this book bret never talks about that knowing the everybody knows he slept with her he skip it wish i didnt like at all and also he never credits her wife for talking care of his children while he was away never mention gratitude toward her and when he was cheating on her with other woman like he mentions in his book never mention i am a cheater husband and she didnt deserve that no to the contrary he always excuse himself that he was lonely and thats it what a joke there is also some parts that i agree with bret to do like doing the right thing and respect for other wrestlers and other good moral things now that i have the truth my conclution is the both wrestlers never metions the bad stuff from them i recommend this book to any real hit man fan to know the real man behind the character of the hit man

Summary: Bittersweet Tale
Comment: Bret Hart was indeed one of the most entertaining wrestlers ever. He never had a real bad, cartoon gimmick. He was one of the few that was a great face or a heel. His story is like most in the industry. Main event star that is left battered and beaten and sometimes broke. He doesn't seem bitter, but at peace with life.
Behind the scenes stories are truly amazing. Vince's egomania, Shawn Michael's hypocrisy, and the early politics of HHH. Many of these stars were heroes come to life. In private they were frail, insecure, and all too human. Hart admits his vice was women and moderate steroid use. The tales of the British Bulldogs are amazing. No wonder they ended up being destroyed by wrestling.
The Hart family was presented as the perfect nuclear family. In reality, they were almost destitute and highly dysfunctional. I advise anyone, male or female, think twice before going into pro wrestling. This book is more of a cautionary tale, than biography.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Written without collaborators and based on decades of tape recordings he made throughout his career, HITMAN is Bret Hart's brutally honest, perceptive and startling account of his life in and out of the ring that proves once and for all that great things come in pink tights.
