Jason Presley's Reviews > My Life In Wrestling

Truly one of the best books about professional wrestling I have ever read. Like in another briefly lost treasure, the Lou Thesz autobiography, "Hooker", Gary Hart pulls no punches and, after 20 years out of the business, really kept few, if any, secrets on how the business worked all throughout his career.

As a fan, I only ever knew of Gary Hart as a manager, and never knew he was such a key figure in so many major angles, promotions and wrestling gimmick creations. His stories certainly shed a whole new light on the demise of the territory days beyond the over simplified mantra from so many that "Vince put them all out of business." That this book is unavailable for purchase, aside from very expensively on the secondary market, is insane. This is a best seller rotting in someone's filing cabinet. Someone needs to get this book into Lulu or Amazon's self publishing system so people can buy it again. It lives up to the hype!

I so selfishly wish Hart had lived even another 5 or 6 years as he would have been such an amazing guest on all of the wrestling podcasts that have popped up since 2012.
