Copyright © Bruno Lauer and Scott Teal
When we were clear of the Coliseum, Sid [Vicious] began berating me, and in a very angry, almost insane tone of voice, he told me in great detail about what had taken place in the parking lot just a few short minutes before. "Sid, I’m sorry …" I offered, but he cut me off in mid-sentence.
"Sorry! Sorry? Is that supposed to help? I hit a fu—ing baby because you were fu—ing standing the fu— around instead of getting in the fu—ing car!"
"But, Sid. I was talking to the RPMs because I haven’t seen them for a while, and ..."
At that point, Sid snapped, and in a combination of being insane with anger and not knowing just how inhumanly strong he was, he screamed, "Fu— the RPMs, and fu— you!" He grabbed me by the back of my head with his right hand, forced my head down between my knees, and held it there with all of his strength. I struggled to straighten up, but his brute force was inescapable. As my oxygen supply dwindled, my head felt as if it was going to explode, and I started to black out. Just before I passed out, Sid released his death grip on my neck and let me go.
Bruno’s book is phenomenal and I highly recommend it to everybody. You will learn a lot about the business of professional wrestling, and in the process, you will laugh your ass off.
— Kurt Angle
"Wrestling with the Truth" is the title of this book, but it doesn’t mean what you think it does. Bruno Lauer has no problem telling the truth. He believes in telling it like it is, and after spending 29 years as a manager in the business of professional wrestling, he has a lot of stories to tell.
Entertaining, visual, and vicious. A memorable memoir by a veteran performer who has seen and done it all in sports entertainment.
— Chris Jericho, New York Times best-selling author
The story of Bruno Lauer, known professionally as Downtown Bruno and Harvey Wippleman, relates the fascinating, and often hilarious, story of his life. Direct and opinionated, he doesn’t hold back anything, sharing both the good and the bad things that happened to him. Even his close friends aren’t safe from his scrutiny. Take it from Mick Foley, who read the first draft of the book and found himself on the receiving end of a few barbs thrown by Bruno "Bruno's honesty can be, at times, a little painful."
A unique perspective from one of the most unique characters in the history of the wrestling business.
— Mick Foley, New York Times best-selling author
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, another home run from the Crowbar Press line of wrestling bios, 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.
With a Foreword written by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
[excerpt] Bruno Lauer and I have shared an extraordinary friendship that has spanned more than 20 years. Throughout that time, the same words come to mind when I think of Bruno — loyal, reliable, and as funny as hell!
Wrestling with the Truth eBook Bruno Lauer Scott Teal
One of the most notorious residents of Walls, Mississippi has written a very entertaining and provocative book giving many glimpses into the weird world that was professional "rasslin". Today pro wrestling is "sports entertainment, but when Bruno was heavily involved, things were a bit different. Until recent years, it had been a closed society which was dominated by family, and difficult, almost impossible to break into, yet "DownTown Bruno" managed to finagle a way in. The stories are entertaining, yet carefully crafted so as to praise many, offend few, and never ever burn bridges. It is, however an entertaining read. I know very little more about Bruno after reading it than I did before, other than that he can tell a very good story. If you love "road stories" about pranks etc, you will love it, but in the end it ends up being a lot like Chinese food. Good going down at the time, but an hour or two later you wish there had been more substance to it.Product details

Wrestling with the Truth eBook Bruno Lauer Scott Teal Reviews
I love wrestling especially southern. Have one wrestler that floats my boat but he wasn't mentioned that much in Bruno's book. Still a good read if ya like wrestling and Bruno.
It's OK. Quick read, pretty cool stories. Bruno, I've never read someone who kisses McMahon's a$$ as much as you do, but I guess I understand.
Good book draws you in once you get used to Bruno's personality which I like-took me back to some awesome wrestlers. I had ringside seat for SWCW for years, the book talks about Bruno's journey to be A great Manager and the bumps and pitfalls of the biz as well as the many interactions he had with many Superstars. Bruno's honest no holds barred journey and his perspective make for a awesome book.
I've never had much interaction with Bruno as far as viewing on television. I do however remember him in WWE. At first I was reluctant and now I'm so glad I took the chance to get inside the head of the wipple. An incredible story cover to cover. I wished it never ended.
Entertaining, easy read. Great stories. Brutally honest. Recommended for anyone who enjoys reading about territories, the difficulty of breaking into wrestling business and the inner workings of the WWE.
I enjoyed this book. It was a interesting read. I learned a lot about the subject that the book is about.
I had no intentions of buying this book and really didn't know about it until I read some reviews and read comments from Chris Jericho and mick foley about it.
A really fun, entertaining read and a brutally honest account that pulls no punches. I enjoyed hearing the stories from the territories and how much wrestling meant to him. My only complaint? He didn't rip on Brutus beefcake as much as it sounded like he would. Fun read for any wrestling fan.
