Jasmin M. sent this in: The Tyee, a prominent online magazine in British Columbia, Canada, has run a "front page" review of Bret Hart's autobiography. I thought it was a very interesting piece as the reviewer parallels the rise of the McMahon wrestling empire, to the rise of European imperialism and compares the book to Jared Diamond's famed Guns, Germs and Steel.
