Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling by Brett Hart




Yes, this autobiography by Canadian Brett "The Hitman" Hart provides some interesting insight into the real world of pro wrestling and Brett's wrestling family but probably only a hard core wrestling fan will persevere in reading through the blow by blow descriptions of wrestling matches that seem to be on every second page. It is interesting to discover who the real men were behind their wrestling personas and how "world champions " were determined, but the wrestling descriptions become more than tedious after the first 50 pages. True wrestling fans need to forewarned that the book is very frank about whether pro wrestling is a sport or strictly entertainment. I can only rate this book as 4 bookmarks out of 10.
