[SammyG]

Around the world in spandex is a lame title.

[Jeritron]

nah it's comedic. It help's the title. Plus it's a subtitle.

No different than "a tale of blood and sweatsocks"

[Dave Youell]

I will be getting this, heard great reviews and the fact it's not going to be content heavy from his WWE days is great as most books WWE seem to produce zoom through the history and spend loads talking about there WWE runs.

Plus that means 8 more years worth of info for another book

[NeanderCarl]

I don't think I'll bother with this one. Wrestling autobiographies tend to drag for me during the writer's "less visible" periods, on the indies or touring overseas, because I can't relate in anyway having never seen any of this footage. Their periods in WWF/WCW/ECW etc normally make the best read, getting a behind-the-scenes account of what was really going on during the periods I was actually watching them.

Don't get me wrong, it's always interesting to read the 'background' stuff before the fame, but it's usually the starter course... an entire book of this would probably bore me senseless.

[NeanderCarl]

It does make sense, him writing this, because when he inevitably covers his "fame" years in a biog, it will probably be WWE published... like Youell said, rather than get a skimmed down version of his history, those who are interested can read an indepth bio.

When is Bret Hart's book coming out? Has he trimmed it down to 10 volumes or less yet?

[Dave Youell]

He's still trying to edit down the 5 volumes from 1997

[Blitz]

I think I heard the book is supposed to encompass his career from 1990-1999.

Hope he talks about the Northern Death Tours. Heard some hilarious stories about those, and he must have a ton more.

[NeanderCarl]

I thought it only covered the period until he went to WCW?

[Dave Youell]

I do hope that he covers his first month in WWE and his reactions to everything.
