About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A story of death, sex, betrayal and revenge; sweat, steroids and duplicity - wrestler Bret Hart lifts the lid on the wacky, mythic, secretive word of pro wrestling in this epic tell-all.

'Amazingly detailed and meticulously crafted ... Hitman will stand the test of time as one of the definitive wrestling biographies' Publishers Weekly

'Bret Hart still makes me believe that wrestling is good' Hulk Hogan

'Packed with drugs, sex, vicious family in-fighting and tales of life on the road ... Hart names names and lays it all bare in his own words' Globe and Mail

As a lot of other reviewers have stated, best wrestling book and wrestling autobiography ever.

I read the book when it was first released and loved it then, and even love it more so now having finished the audiobook.

The Hitman was just a class on his own. You won’t regret downloading this one!

The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be

Great insight into life of a wrestler

Having previously read the book, this is the definitive way to experience to Bret’s story now. The detail and gravitas he gives his past excels in this version. The best wrestling autobiography there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

Sensational

I found this book by chance in my local supermarket years ago and read it cover to cover unable to put it down at times.

Years later the audible version just appears out of nowhere. Instant purchase.

Bret reading it himself was the only choice. Cheers 👍

Thank you Bret 👍

Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling is easily one of the most honest autobiographies I’ve come across. What makes it stand out is how raw and unfiltered it feels—this isn’t a polished PR version of events, it’s Bret Hart telling his story exactly how he lived it.
Hearing it in his own voice adds another layer. You can feel the highs, the pressure, and the personal struggles behind the scenes of the wrestling world. It goes far beyond wrestling it’s about discipline, loyalty, family, and the cost of success.
If you grew up watching that era, this hits even harder. Definitely worth the time.

well balanced and brilliant autobiography.
