I have been a fan of Bobby Heenan since the early 70s when he was "Pretty Boy" Bobby Heenan and he was managing the likes of the Blackjacks, the Valiant Brothers, and Baron von Raschke in the AWA against foes such as Bruiser and Crusher, Pepper Gomez and Cowboy Bob Ellis. I actually felt sorry for poor Bobby as he was repeatedly bashed and bloodied by the "faces." Years later I re-discovered pro-wrestling and there was ol' Bobby, now known as the "Brain" managing Andre the Giant and so many other greats.Therefore, it was with great expectation that I purchased this book and read it on a four and a half hour flight recently. While happy to read about Bobby Heenan in his own words, I was disappointed by the book's brevity. This is more a series of anecdotes loosely organized into chapters than a coherent biography of the man and his sport.The Brain covers his early years in the AWA much too swiftly as he does also with his recent years in WCW. He basically covers his work with the Valiant brothers in one sentence by saying they were awful. He mentions Blackjack Lanza but skips his managing of the Blackjacks (Lanza and Mulligan), which included a feud with Bruiser and Crusher that culminated in a gruesome cage match at Chicago's Soldier Field (where Heenan actually vomited in the ring).That is not to say that this book is a waste. Even a little Brain is better than none at all. Bobby gives us story after story of how a particular wrestler worked in the ring or how certain promoters screwed over the wrestlers. He gives insight into how wrestlers get along outside the ring and how they manage to protect themselves from over-zealous fans.
