NOT RELEASED or AVAILABLE IN THE USA or U.K.

This is THE most anticipated wrestling book EVER. It is an incredible 592 -page Hard Cover Book that will NOT be released in the USA or UK until 2008. This book is NOT affiliated with the WWE so you won’t find any “editing” or careful wording that is reminiscent of other books written by or about other wrestlers. This is THE book that will expose what the wrestling world and its personalities don’t want you to know.

Of all the wrestling books out there, “Hitman: My Real Life In The Cartoon World Of Wrestling”, is in my opinion the most shocking and most gripping of them all.

In his own words, Bret Hart’s honest, perceptive, startling account of his life in and out of the pro wrestling ring.

The sixth-born son of the pro wrestling dynasty founded by Stu Hart and his elegant wife, Helen, Bret Hart is a Canadian icon. As a teenager, he could have been an amateur wrestling Olympic contender, but instead he turned to the family business, climbing into the ring for his dad’s western circuit, Stampede Wrestling. From his early twenties until he retired at 43, Hart kept an audio diary, recording stories of the wrestling life, the relentless travel, the practical jokes, the sex and drugs, and the real rivalries (as opposed to the staged ones). The result is an intimate, no-holds-barred account that will keep readers, not just wrestling fans, riveted.

Hart achieved superstardom in pink tights, and won multiple wrestling belts in multiple territories, for both the WWF (now the WWE) and WCW. But he also paid the price in betrayals (most famously by Vince McMahon, a man he had served loyally); in tragic deaths, including the loss of his brother Owen, who died when a stunt went terribly wrong; and in his own massive stroke, most likely resulting from a concussion he received in the ring, and from which, with the spirit of a true champion, he has battled back.

Widely considered by his peers as one of the business’s best technicians and workers, Hart describes pro wrestling as part dancing, part acting, and part dangerous physical pursuit. He is proud that in all his years in the ring he never seriously hurt a single wrestler, yet did his utmost to deliver to his fans an experience as credible as it was exciting. He also records the incredible toll the business takes on its workhorses: he estimates that twenty or more of the wrestlers he was regularly matched with have died young, weakened by their own coping mechanisms, namely drugs, alcohol, and steroids. That toll included his own brother-in-law, Davey Boy Smith. No one has ever written about wrestling like Bret Hart. No one has ever lived a life like Bret Hart’s.

To say that Bret Hart’s autobiography is an eye-opener is a big understatement. If you’re a fan of professional wrestling and the Hart family who have not heard of some of the family politics, gossip, and what really goes on with all your favorite stars behind the scenes, the book will be downright shocking. You will find yourself shaking your head again and again in disbelief. It’s quite dizzying.

Bret Hart will tell you more about the business in half the pages Foley uses to tell you about himself. This book details what every wrestling fan really wants to know: the inner workings of the business and the inside dirt on those who work in the business.

Unlike many people who write or publish their own books, Bret Hart doesn’t hold back. He surprisingly does not paint himself as a humanitarian or try to sugarcoat anything or anybody else in the wrestling business. He is BRUTALLY honest in his book and admits to many extra-marital affairs, his weakness for women while on the road, as well as painting WWE Chairman Vince McMahon as a master manipulator who “wasn’t good for s–t.” The book is a window into his unique and chaotic life in the Hart family and it chronicles his experiences behind the scenes in the WWE — from the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle to the ugly dressing-room politics, which were characterized by manipulation and backstabbing. The book is candid and the frankness of it will shock you. If you thought that Tom “Dynamite Kid” Billington’s book was revealing, then you have another thing coming. Read the stuff about “Dynamite Kid” that he didn’t tell you about himself in his book! Any dirt you ever wanted to know about the WWF, WCW, Stampede Wrestling and other major wrestling superstars of the 80’s, 90’s and today is dished out. This book paints a vivid picture of the daily grind professional wrestlers go through: the friendships, the jealousies, the backstabbing, the drug and steroid abuse, and the physical and mental toll that wrestling can take over the course of just a few years. It is the other side of the sport, the side beyond the lights, the side under the mat, where the real stories rest, hidden from the cameras, hidden from the fans and known to only those who live it each day

You will not be able to put this book down and you may never look at some wrestling personalities in the same way again. Bret’s story is the closest true-life account of the real world of professional wrestling and will prove to be the biggest, most sought after book on professional wrestling. In my opinion this is the most fascinating book on pro wrestling I have ever read.

Question: Should WWE change its name to World Sports Entertainment, Inc?
WWE refuses to call its product professional wrestling, why should they have the word “wrestling” in the name of the company? Shouldn’t “Sports Entertainment” be in the company name since that’s what they insist on calling their product?
Please read past the second word. I said “World Sports Entertainment, Inc.” not “World Sports, Inc.” Meaning it’s a sports entertainment company, not a wrestling company. They promote sports entertainment, they don’t promote wrestling.

Question: Should Pro Wrestling be called that?
Should Pro Wrestling be called Pro Wrestling?

Afterall an amateur Boxer that takes parts in the Olympics can turn ‘Professional’. A Professional Boxer afterall is a Professional Boxer.

However, the term Professional Wrestling means the complete opposite to the likes of amateur Wrestling. Afterall… Pro Wrestling is todays term for a work, pre-determined matches like the WWE.

In fairness and realism, shouldnt Promotions like the WWE be refered to as “Professional Performance” or “Performance Wrestling”?

Shouldn’t Professional Wrestling be the term for the ‘real’ Professional Wrestlers. The same connection to the likes of amateur Boxing and Professional Boxing?

I have my opinions of course…. but what are yours?

It shall be interesting to hear from other people and their opinions!!
Yes WWE is “Pro” because they get paid, that afterall is the different terms between “amateur” and “pro”. My point however is that despite the fact that WWE ‘get paid’, should it refered to as Pro?

Lastly, I know many wrestlers today that refer themselves as “Pro Wrestlers”
I am aware of WWE refering to themselves as ‘sports entertainment’ and wrestlers as ‘superstars’.

However, many wrestlers in the WWE still refer themselves as ‘pro wrestler’.

To me. Pro Wrestler means the step up from the amateur circuit but it isnt the case.

At the end of the day, it is just a discussion, and not something to throw back in my face, which was the case to one of the answeree’s
One more detail. I am not a biased person, as I can pick many good and bad points in the world of entertainment wrestling. However, I also feel that putting this question on here will of course be answered by ‘WWE Fans’. So in essence, many will be biased here and protect the name of Pro Wrestling.

Question: Why do people think that if a wrestler doesn’t hold a title (in WWE) then he is being misused or should leave?
Titles aren’t the end all be all of professional wrestling.
“The greatest wrestlers go long periods of time without a title because they don’t need a title to carry them.”
- Dragon Rocky Steamboat

If a wrestler is involved in a feud without a title on the line… are them wrestlers being misused?
Please tell me your thoughts because it seems like majority opinion is, if a wrestler isn’t a champion then he’s being buried or misused.
Thoughts?
“Ricky Steamboat” (obv) Please excuse the typo.
Tony A, you’re so dumb. That answer is completely erelevant.
It’s because it’s pre-determined why this question is being asked in the 1st place.

If it was all legit then I wouldn’t be asking about wrestlers being pushed with titles would I?

Answer by Tony A
Wrestling is a business entertainment, not a competitive sport.

Question: Should Wrestling have been a real professional sport?
For those who have seen this TV program called “Real Pro Wrestling”, it promotes Olympic-style wrestling as a real sport for professionals. How do you think it would’ve been if it was a professional sport and would’ve competed with Boxing and MMA? Don’t forget that these three combat sports used to be in the Ancient Olympics. There was Boxing, Wrestling, and Pankration, which became known as MMA today. I think it would’ve been real interesting.
I’m not talking about that WWE crap, I’m talking about the REAL sport Wrestling.
