Just finished reading Bret's book "Hitman". I found it a bit boring/slow going for the first while. As it progressed it got more interesting. I spent all morning reading it on Saturday. Some parts were TMI (too much info) - like some of his escapades with the chicks on the road and his relationship with his wife during those years, only because I think about his kids reading the book and I find that a tad embarrassing. I'm all for honesty, but there were a few facts he could have omitted.
Since we have our own little history with wrestling (thanks to TR) about 1989-93, I enjoyed reading about the other wrestlers and what he thought of them. Who was really nice and who was an arsehole! Some were surprising.
And I thought *I* knew dysfunctional families! Bret lets it all hang out but I felt that he was being genuine. I found it a great read for many reasons. Hey, he's a babe! Let's just get that out of the way. *G* Not that it has anything to do with the story. But, he was one of the few Canadian wrestlers who were in the WWF. We saw the WWF here a few times and on PPV. It was corny, but it was hilarious! I'm shocked at the people who really think it's real! Hello in there. (It IS fake, isn't it?) I can see why they changed the name to WWE - much more appropriate!
I found myself checking everyone out on the internet and I was sad to see how many of them had died from drug overdoses or side effects from the drugs/steroids. What a shame.
Owen Hart, RIP!
