Editorial Review: Product Description: Chair Shots and Other Obstacles: Winning Life's Wrestling Matches is an introspective look into the wit and wisdom of legendary professional wrestler and manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. "Chair shots" is a part of wrestling vernacular, but it is also a metaphor for setbacks and impediments that one experiences in life. Heenan has had his share of challenges - both personal and professional. He also has learned his share of lessons, but not in a formal education setting. The world has been his classroom and observing life around him, his curriculum. In his new role of "self-help guru," Heenan dispenses that wisdom through tangible and downright funny examples and anecdotes of a 59-year life and a five-decade career in professional wrestling. And what a career it has been. Heenan shares his many "chair shots," from battling pesky promoters and fanatical fans to combating cancer, which Heenan refers to as "the ultimate heel." Heenan also shares his seemingly infinite supply of humorous stories about many wrestling legends including: Dick the Bruiser, Andre the Giant, Vince McMahon, and Hulk Hogan. Finally, "The Brain" 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?" Average Rating:
 Rating:  - NICE READTHIS IS THE SECOND BOOK BY WRESTLER, COMMENTATOR AND MANAGER BOBBY HEENAN. IT IS NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS HIS FIRST ONE, WHICH IS A VERY GOOD BOOK. THIS HAS ALOT OF OPINIONS AND INSIGHTS BY THE BRAIN. IT IS GOOD TO SEE HE IS STILL DOING OK AFTER HIS BOUT WITH CANCER A FEW YEARS BACK. IT IS JUST NOT THAT INTERESTING. I HOPE BOBBY WRITES ANOTHER ONE SOON TELLING US MORE ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCES IN THE SQUARED CIRLE. NOT A BAD READ. Rating: - It was okBobby Heenan was one of the greatest characters in the WWF from the mid-1980's to early 1990's. A funny guy who could use his gift of the gab to make his wrestlers look good and in later years was a humourous colour man. This book is not a biography like his first (classic) book, it is a self-help book that Heenan wrote after his cancer ordeal. The book itself is ok but I think that if I wanted to read self-help books, I would read one written by a qualified professional. Rating:  - Great BookGreat book!, showing the human side of Pro Wrestling. If you are a Pro Wrestling fan from the old days, or a "Bobby The Brain " fan, you'll love this book! Rating:  - Not the biographyBobby Heenan takes to the pages again and presents us with a self-help book. A warning to the wrestling marks, this is not a biography by Heenan. He covers phases of his life from dropping out of school after 8th grade into his career as a heel manager/wrestler and up to his retirement but in no detail covers his life. This is a self-help book through the eyes of maybe the most hated man in wrestling, keeping in mind it is the gimmick of Bobby Heenan, not the man Ray Heenan, that is hated. Heenan, ... Read More Rating: - Cancer Survivor.The author uses wrestling lingo as a metaphor for life. Entertaining anecdotes and stories made this a fast and funny read. This may not be a self-help book, but I never read one that made me laugh. I am sure his cancer story hit many readers nerves who have lost people or pets to that awful scourge. Mr. Heenan remains the funniest man in the history of the wrestling business.
