I never watched it before but it shows pro wrestling for what it is. Its awsome seeing Brett's then wife calling HHH and HBK a pair of XXXXX..........
Type in 'Wrestling with shadows' and watch it. Its in 9 ten minute segments. Best doc I've seen for wrestling.
To be fair although McMahon was a lyer. I think Brett was naeive and thought he was above everything.
Hart was screwed, but he really is, as has often been said, his own biggest mark. All that stuff about being a 'hero'. Get over yourself, Bret. Great documentary though. It's a bit sad seeing all those who have become casualties of the industry, and wasn't Triple H a lot slimmer back then?
Leeds Rhinos? 8 for you, Leeds Rhinos! You go, Leeds Rhinos.

Because he has to earn a huge amount of money just to pay off his ex-wives.

Bret hart has always been my favourite wrestler, the first match I really saw was him beating Mr Perfect at Summerslam for the IC title in a superb match.
But I literally finished reading his book last night and have to say the bloke took himself far too seriously. He did get screwed but I really don't think he did himself any favours behind the scenes.

To be fair though he wasn't the first person to cause McMahon problems and he wasn't the last. From what I've read HBK was 10x a pain in the ar$e in the 90's that Bret was.
Fondly remember that too by the way, + his equally incredible bout against the Bulldog the following year.

I know what you mean about Shawn Micheals, from the various stories I've heard he was a complete nightmare. Would like to read his book, see what he admits to and also his thoughts on Bret Hart.
Agree about the Bulldog match, an absolute classic. To be fair to Hart he had many good matches, I remember when he won the King of the Ring, 3 great matches in 1 night.

do you mean heartbreak & triumph? it's very good. not quite as well writen as mick foley's books, but still a very good read.
When you're a Bradford fan there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
