I haven't watched the E's programming in about a year and a half.
However, I recently finished Hitman. It's an absolute must read. I finished it in about three days in between grading and class prep.
The first quarter of the book is a little slow, especially the first two chapters, but once he gets into his time as a regular for Stampede, and more specifically his early days in the 80's WWF, it greatly increases in quality. I know that he and Michaels have since reconciled, but it's interesting to see how he regarded him at first, how their relationship soured, and at least, according to Bret, how he was sought out to be the original leader of the Kliq.
The stories about the lines to see Dr. Zahorian (if anyone has read Sex, Lies and Headlocks or Meltzer's report they will know the name) are really interesting, as are the images of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart riding on a motorcycle while high on crack.
Guys who get the biggest praise from Bret: Owen (obviously), Curt Hennig, Rick Rude, Andre, Roddy Piper, Anvil
Guys who get savaged: Bad News Allen/Brown, Warrior, Dynamite (from a personal standpoint), and his brothers Bruce and Smith
