Bret Hart blunt and revealing new 575 page autobiography become
available in Canada this week and will be openly distributed in the
U.S. next year. The Canada Sun newspaper chain features an online
article with highlights from the book, including the following key
highlights:
-On his dad: "Stu (my father) had a temper so fierce that some would
consider his corporal punishment child abuse. Too many times I limped
around bruised and battered, my eyeballs red and ruptured because of
his discipline. On more than a few occasions, I thought I was going to
die. Corporal punishment was more common in those days. He was a
product of his time, trying to deal with 12 kids all as wild and out
of control as we were."

-On Dynamite Kid: "(Tom) grew lonely, dangerous and occasionally
cruel. One morning as we waited to leave on the bus, Tom opened the
window, calling and waving over a poor vagrant. I thought Tom was
going to toss a few coins ... but instead he spit right in his face
and said, 'F-- you, you dirty yellow bastard.' "
-On doing drugs in WWE: "When I was working for my Dad, I didn't have
to poison my body, I didn't need it. But when I got to the WWF (World
Wrestling Federation), everyone was doing it. And Dynamite and Davey
Boy were making three to four times the money I was. If I didn't take
them, I wouldn't have a career."
-On cheating on his wife: "My release, my amnesia, or maybe my
anaesthesia, was women. Sex seemed like the lesser of all the sins
that lay in wait for us. I knew for certain that this was going to be
a long road ahead. I was 27 and I was never going to survive it if I
didn't find some female company. I felt truly terrible about being
unfaithful. It was so weird: I was on top of the world but ashamed of
myself at the same time."
