Hart's account of his professional wrestling career is almost literally
blow-by-blow, with detailed descriptions of the choreography of many of
his most prominent matches in the former World Wrestling Foundation and
the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling. (And, yes, he freely admits
that the outcomes are determined in advance, while the wrestlers work out
the actual moves for themselves.) To hear him tell it, everybody hailed
him as the best damn worker in the business, a storyteller with the
comparative artistry of a De Niro. But the manipulative schemes of WWF
head Vince McMahon (and several of his colleagues) kept Hart from reaching
his full potential as a champion until injuries sidelined him for good.
The memoir goes deep into Hart's family history.his father was one of the
pioneers of the Canadian pro wrestling circuit, and his brothers and
brothers-in-law followed him into the business. Wrestling fans will eat up
all the backstage drama, but even those who don't care for the shows should
be impressed by Hart's meticulous eye for telling detail.the bittersweet
story that results is simultaneously a celebration and an expose.
