We’re back with a very special edition of Wrestling Observer Radio today as we’re joined by Bret the Hitman Hart to talk his new book, Hitman: My real life in the cartoon world of wrestling. We talked about the mechanics of writing the book, his inspirations in wrestling, his thoughts on things every step of the way, his thoughts on his life going forward, what he watches today, a lot of very frank talks regarding some of the tragedies with his friends, recovering from a stroke, the craziness of WCW, the details of what went down in his first title win and how he today feels that if it had not been a last minute decision that it never would have happened. There is a lot on Dynamite Kid, Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, what made Stampede Wrestling and his thoughts on going from a star in Stampede Wrestling and in Japan to starting out as a prelim wrestler in WWF, as well as the drugs, the schedule, and much more. A tremendous show, so check it out today.

October 7 2008 Wrestling Observer
It’s the BRYAN AND BRYAN SHOW. That’s right, I’m running solo tonight with NO WARNING. Vince apparently lost his car keys right before he was supposed to be here. So I’m on my own with only the callers to help. Thankfully, lots to discuss including Friday Night Smackdown, No Mercy, Raw and the EliteXC special on CBS. It’s the best I can do today so bear with me through it all.
