Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Following in the footsteps of the likes of Mick "Mankind" Foley, The Rock and Kurt Angle, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan has become the latest professional wrestler to set his life on the mat to the page. While the book certainly won't challenge for any literary prizes, Heenan-a funny, cocky guy with an intelligence that goes well beyond his 8th grade education-is surprisingly charming. A pro wrestler since the 1960s, Heenan recounts the early days spent wrestling bears in Canada, getting cheated by promoters and bleeding in smoky gyms and halls across the northeast, all for as little as $10 a night. A devoted family man, Heenan finally made a comfortable living off the sport he loves in the 1980s and 1990s and has spent a lifetime reveling in the attention (and venom) his supporters and detractors have thrown his way. 22 pages of b&w photos (Sept.) Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.

    The Brain is a Brain

    Bobby the Brain redefined the manager's job in wrestling and his tell-all book is a fan's delight. Not all of the anecdotes make complete sense but his humor and honesty make this a terrific read, especially for anyone who is curious as to how they do it. thanks bobby and God be with you.

    Brain + Weasel = 5 star book

    You can call him The Brain, you can call him a Weasel, but i call him legendary. OMG, this book is a book to get. I just got done with it and loved it, talks about his early life, WWF, how wcw sucks, friends, family and much much more. Buy this book, you wont regret it.

    Up there with Foley's first

    Heenan's book is more about anecdotes than the business but the anecdotes are great and you do learn a bit about the business through them. During his last days with WCW I thought he just wasn't as good as he used to be but this book is vintage Heenan and proof that even though there were a lot of things going wrong with WCW at the end Heenan wasn't one of them.

    WEASEL! WEASEL! WEASEL!

    Bobby the Brain was the best manager in the business. He could take a bump like no one else. In thisbook he gives his view on the wrestling world. For those old school fans who use to watch the Hulkster beat up on Bobby this book is for you. Bobby's story is amazing, my only comlaint about this book is that it was too short. Bobby's humor is in every page of this book. A must read. This book is ten times better than Sex Lies and Headlocks.
