No Holds Barred in Hitman's Memoir

When he was wrestling professionally, Bret Hart was known as The Hitman.

During a nearly-three-decade career that spanned Stampede Wrestling, the World Wrestling Federation, and World Championship Wrestling, Hart kept a journal on tape.

It's apparent that someone is targeting certain monks at The Brothers of Love - and, maybe, Harry herself.
