Chairshots and Other Obstacles: Winning Life's Wrestling Matches
Description: Chair Shots and Other Obstacles: Winning Life's Wrestling Matches is a look into the wit and wisdom of legendary professional wrestler and manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
"Chair shots" is also a metaphor for setbacks and impediments that one experiences in life. "The Brain" has had his share of challenges - both personal and professional. He also has learned his share of lessons. The world has been his classroom. Heenan dispenses that wisdom through real and funny examples and anecdotes of a 59-year life and a five-decade career in professional wrestling.
He shares his many "chair shots," from battling promoters and fans to combating cancer, which Heenan refers to as "the ultimate heel." Heenan also shares an infinite supply of humorous stories about many wrestling legends including: Dick the Bruiser, Andre the Giant, Vince McMahon, and Hulk Hogan.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan sums up his experiences with a last bit of advice: "Don't be a 'Bobby Heenan.' I'm not even saying to be a Ray Heenan. Just be a clown. That's the best advice I can give anyone...Now, when do I get paid?"
