    Red Smith Wrote That Baseball Was a Dull Game Only to Dull Minds. in His

    Published November 3, 2007 at http://muchnick.net/HitmanReview.pdf Review of Bret Hart’s Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling By Irvin Muchnick Red Smith wrote that baseball was a dull game only to dull minds. In his sprawling autobiography, Bret Hart sets out to prove that the genre “pro wrestling literature” is oxymoronic only to oxymorons. And Hart succeeds. Despite its intimidating length, Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling (a runaway bestseller in Canada, not yet available in the U.S.) has a surprisingly high muscle-to-fat ratio. With the superb Have a Nice Day! , published in 1999, Mick Foley pioneered the picaresque wrestler’s memoir. But Hart, who doesn’t do goofy, is hunting bigger game. Inevitably, one turns to earthy details of mundane score-settling – both conscious and unconscious, both within the peculiar industry that defined him and within the even more peculiar Calgary-based clan that, for a certain population of fans, helped define the industry. Before getting to all that, though, it’s important to remark upon the sheer beauty of the prose in Hitman ’s best parts. Like his favorite writer, Mark Helprin, Hart occupies the border between phantasmagoria and realism. My favorite passages cover his foreign travels, during which he either reflects on the social conditions he observes there (Manila) or delights in lush landscape (Capetown). Domestically, you can all but smell the Alberta and Saskatchewan prairies; faithful depictions of hardscrabble life on the tundra, inside and outside the ring, make for something close to the Great Western Canadian Novel.

    Praise for Coach Davies and Renegade Tra i n i n g “In my 20 years of coaching, I have been fortunate to have been associated with a lot of top quality coaches. When I think of someone whom I would want to send my kids to for speed and quickness development along with a new approach to overall training methods, the one who comes to mind first and foremost is John Davies. I have personally watched him interact on the field and have had the opportunity to send a lot of my athletes to him and everyone one of them have made incredible gains in all as p e c t s . John is unique with his style, he has cutting edge techniques, but what impresses me most is the way he puts things into a simplified and easy to understand methods that can be ta i l o r ed to athletes at all levels. Undoubtedly you will find John’s Renegade Training for Football to be both rew a rd i n g and ref r eshing!! Enjoy!!” —Steve Mooshagian, Wide Receiver Coach, Cincinnati Bengals “I just wanted to thank you for all of the power-speed programs you have developed for our football program the past two years.

Travers Scott, Committee Chair Dr. Erin Ash Dr. Darren Linvill ABSTRACT For a long time, professional wrestling has existed on the outskirts of society, with the idea that it was just for college-aged men. With the rise of the popularity of the World Wrestling Entertainment promotion, professional wrestling entered the mainstream. Celebrities often appear at wrestling shows, and the WWE often hires mainstream musical artists to perform at their biggest shows, WrestleMania and Summer Slam. Despite this still-growing popularity, there still exists a gap between men’s wrestling and women’s wrestling. Often the women aren’t allowed long match times, and for the longest time sometimes weren’t even on the main shows.
