3. Hitman: My Real Life In The Cartoon World Of Wrestling - Bret Hart
If you're not a fan of Bret Hart's opinions going in, My Real Life In The Cartoon World Of Wrestling won't change your mind. What it will do is explain in great depth what it was like to work closely with Vince McMahon, as well as being a main event star during the post-Hulkamania lull in the WWF.
Signing on with the WWF in the mid-1980s, Hart would struggle to stamp his authority on the company. Later, he became one of McMahon's most-trusted performers, building up a relationship with his boss and becoming someone the WWF relied upon to deliver ratings and pay-per-view buy-rates.
Bret's book has excellent flow, and it feels like no stone is left unturned. From his childhood as the son of the discipline-heavy Stu Hart, to his days working for Stampede Wrestling and eventual mega stardom, everything is here.
The 'Montréal Screwjob', the death of his brother Owen, an uninspiring WCW run and retirement, Hart often goes into incredible detail. It's that level of information that helps the book stand out.
