- What could have been...
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?

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 ... Read More
