Guide Review - Heartbreak & Triumph by Shawn Micheals
The first few chapters detail his life growing up. After that, his training and the first few stops in his career are written about. It is amazing the difference between wrestling schools of today and the way way the business was during the kayfabe era.
The Rockers
After reading about Verne Gagne's reaction to their name, it is no wonder why the AWA went out of business. The book also discusses the reasons Shawn & Marty broke up and why they never had a real blowoff to the feud.
The Kliq, Dropped Titles, Curtain Call, and Bar Fight
Shawn discussed all these controversies in detail. It has to be noted that this is where people might start to question some things in the book. At what point does perception become reality? I do believe that Shawn is telling his version of the truth but there are many that will debate it.
Montreal
This is the first time Shawn has spoken about these events in this detail. The locker room stories from the day of the show might be more interesting than the match itself.
