10 Wrestling Books You Must Read Before You Die

2. Hitman: My Life In The Cartoon World Of Wrestling

Whilst it's true that Bret 'Hitman' Hart does have an inflated opinion of himself, his autobiography is one of the most richly-detailed out there. There are so many different eras on offer in Hitman: My Life In The Cartoon World Of Wrestling, and it's all the better for it. Stretching right back to the territorial days of pro wrestling, the book also includes the glory days of Hulkamania, the 'New Generation' and the 'Attitude' Eras. Hart was there throughout it all, and his tale is one of a solid wrestling machine who often felt like he was being overlooked in favour of others. Naturally, the frosty circumstances of the 'Montreal Screwjob' are told, and Hart seems genuinely heartbroken (as one would expect) when recanting the death of his younger brother, Owen. To a certain generation of wrestling fans, Bret Hart is one of the finest performers to ever lace a pair of boots. It's a little tough to stomach sometimes when the man himself agrees, but then he has earned that right due to a lengthy, astonishing career. Hart's book is a lengthy one, but it's stunning in the amount of detail it provides fans.
