Bret HITMAN Hart: MY REAL LIFE IN THE CARTOON WORLD OF WRESTLING
Hmmm
I don’t know how to start with. This is my third post on a wrestling book. It started
when I got my hands on Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley followed by Bret Hart.
Pink
soldier HITMAN was positioned in my mind with Pink Lowers, black Jacket and amazing
sunglasses which I always wanted. I still remember when I used to play trump
cards my friend said that HITMAN is a hero and loves kids. At that time jargons
of wrestling like baby face and heels were an alien concept to me. To clear
things baby face is a hero and Heel is a
villain in analogy to a movie.
As
events turned out one day I stumble upon this book. I tried to get it from many
websites but I was not able to get it as most of the times it went out of stock
as I was ordering a cheaper version. One day I thought lets go get it, I
removed the price constrain form my mind and ordered a slightly expensive
version. It took around a week to get delivered but once
I got it in my hand, I was amazed. Paper Jacket is of Pink Colour which reminds
me of Boomer Bubble Gum ;). It has around 600 pages and I thought wow, I hope
it’s amazing. When I started reading it , I was not disappointed. He takes you
to a wonderful journey which is bit sweet, bit sour , had taste of blood,
excellence, sex and not to forget wrestling!!. Bam Bam Yeahh!!.
Bret
Hart shares your soul with you when he explains memoir of childhood, his father
started Stamped Wrestling long in year 1940 in Canada, his growing up days , catch 22 question” Is
wrestling fake”, his married life, Unmarried Life ;) , love for his brother
Owen Hart and again not to forget wrestling.
Ok wait.! Don’t you think these are common in all books so
what is so special here for which Foam Acclaimed “ There are surprising number
of books written by professional wrestlers about their peculiar trade ....Hart
has written Mother of them all “. I
guess this an unbarred account of his experience where he bashes Vince MCMohan(
Owner of wwe) , kicks butt of Shaan Michale and HHH openly, explains killer
calendar where wresters die in road accidents due to excessive travel and his
love for his family, accident of Owen and the camaraderie between the fellow
wrestlers. Also this books is funny as hell. While reading it I realized wrestlers
with big physiques at the core are just like us , they have same set of fears ,
live for occasion of happiness just all of us do. There is a chapter where he takes you through
his experience in India and you have to read it yourself. I felt happy and sad.
I will not spoil the beans.
Montreal Screw Job makes you
wonder about the corporate greed which I felt recently . This epic tale has
memories where you are stunned and while flipping pages there are surreal
occasions which made you ponder on various aspects.
For all the wrestling fans/air
conditioners/ toasters whoever you are read it and you will enjoy every minute of
it. ( I hope so J ).
