Bobby the Brain: Wrestling's Bad Boy Tells All »

Bobby the "Brain" Heenan's wrestling career spans nearly 40 years -- from the early AWA and NWA to the WCW and WWF. Was wrestling as wild and crazy at its start as it is today? Try wilder and crazier! In this book Bobby tells all the stories, names all the names, and doesn't care who gets mad about it. Wrestling fans won't be able to put down this "no-holds-barred" book -- at least until the count of three.

Following in the footsteps of the likes of Mick "Mankind" Foley, The Rock and Kurt Angle, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan has become the latest professional wrestler to set his life on the mat to the page. While the book certainly won't challenge for any literary prizes, Heenan-a funny, cocky guy with an intelligence that goes well beyond his 8th grade education-is surprisingly charming. A pro wrestler since the 1960s, Heenan recounts the early days spent wrestling bears in Canada, getting cheated by promoters and bleeding in smoky gyms and halls across the northeast, all for as little as $10 a night. A devoted family man, Heenan finally made a comfortable living off the sport he loves in the 1980s and 1990s and has spent a lifetime reveling in the attention (and venom) his supporters and detractors have thrown his way. 22 pages of b&w photos (Sept.)
