| WRESTLING WITH THE TRUTH Release Date: June 2008 / Author(s): Bruno Lauer / Publisher: Crowbar Press DESCRIPTION As he retraces every step of his career, Bruno’s account of his life as a “sports entertainment” performer begins at age 13, when he joins a traveling wrestling troupe at a carnival, and ends when he wins the WWF “Women’s” world championship wrestling title on prime-time national television. This autobiography, complemented by 94 photos culled from Bruno’s personal scrapbooks, is a fresh glimpse of life behind the curtain of professional sports entertainment. As full of action, entertainment, heartbreak, and drama as anything that takes place inside a professional wrestling ring, Wrestling with the Truth is the story of a man who struggled to find his place in the wrestling business, and the success that came through his perseverance. REVIEW Rich Tate: In his book, 'Downtown' Bruno Lauer takes the reader on a thrill ride that is a mixed bag of brutal honesty, insightful self-deprecation, sincere appreciation, sad situations, and hilarious moments, which leave you feeling you know the whole story, but also wanting a sequel. Bruno has accomplished what few manage to do when writing their life story, whereas he did so by calling it the way he saw it without concern for his antagonist’s feelings, yet making certain he showed appreciation to those who helped him along the way, never taking credit for his own success in the comical, yet sometimes tragic, world of professional wrestling. Extremely recommended. Order from Crowbar |
