Awesome a lot of things he did in his life were done from his sense of reality which he perceived to be the worlds. We all experience life through our filters then judge other people based on what we think is right. What he does have going on now is the will to be something different to re shape his values and ethics and it may take until he dies but the process will be ongoing. For me the funniest part was brad Pitt coming home with his ex wife. I could picture brads reaction (without Mikes description). If I was Brad Pitt I would have tried to knock myself out before he go to me. Unfortunately we are a society that has become obsessed with reality shows and TV duly feed this hunger with cleverly edited pieces the goal of which is to create conflict. We like to love people and in order to do this they need a nemesis. We as a public fed off his misfortune because we felt we owned his success and by doing that it gave us the right to choose his downfall. The real insight to life is Evander Holyfield who is missing part of his anatomy but chose to forgive him. That is true understanding because Mike kept saying what a good man he was. That is the true state and the core of people one word forgiveness.

Mike Tyson takes the stage on Broadway and proves to be a great storyteller with the timing of a seasoned stand up comedian. He starts with a terrible childhood in Brooklyn, New York, with a drug addicted mother and maybe pimp father who was never a part of young Mike's life. Reform schools and jail were inevitable, and a chance meeting with boxing trainer Cus D'Amato changed the course of Tyson's future. Everything is fodder, including the very strange and interesting marriage to actress Robin Givens and rape case involving Desiree Washington. Mike does hilarious imitations of D'Amato and his former manager Don King. Throw away any preconceptions you may have and give Tyson a chance, and I promise that you will not be disappointed; a solid nine out of ten.

This is a one man show about Mike Tyson's life and experiences and runs the gambit... It's open, honest, humorous, sad, touching and inspiring. If anyone ever held an opinion of him, good or bad, then they should see this.Mike chronicles his life as a child living in poverty and not really knowing either of his parents, to adjusting to finding love and acceptance with the D'Amato family, gives the viewer a sense of what it's like to be a rising star and world famous by the time he was 20, what it was like for a young man with $50,000,000 and wolves constantly nipping at his financial heels, his drug abuse issues, prison, his spiritual and emotional implosion, the death of his daughter... and most importantly his subsequent rebirth.Even as he poked fun at himself, I got the sense of struggle he went through with what seemed to be a constant change of his surroundings, and the anger and mistrust he experienced trying to adjust to them. He gives you an idea of how surrealistic life can be when you're as rich and famous as he was, and how difficult it must have been to make sense of it. I can't imagine anything crazier than to be sitting in prison and having a surprise visit by Florence Henderson of the Brady Bunch.The thing I took away from this show though was that there was most definitely a human being behind all the hype, and the PR that people saw on TV through the 90's and 2000's. Mike showed an incredible sense of peace considering everything he's gone through in his life, and demonstrated he came through it with a warmth, humanity, and an incredible sense of humor. He seems to be the first to be able to laugh at himself, and his own mistakes. At times when he could have taken cheap shots at people he restrains himself, and others he lets the people have it with both barrels. Mostly, he finds the humor in the situations he was in good or bad. He did take time to talk about the losses of family members he's experienced in his life, and how it affected him.Few people can lay claim to having been in the positions he was in life. After watching "Undisputed Truth", William Blake's line "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom" certainly seems appropriate. Mike has a wisdom that is well earned and hard fought. I've been a fan of his from back when he first became champ, and after watching this I finally think I got a sense of who he really is. I certainly hope he has the best of luck with his career and life.

Love him, or hate him. (And I still love him) Tyson lays it all down in his version of the truth. Very funny stuff, Mike really opens up , and lets you in on some raw nerves, and is very honest in how he sees himself looking back. I will never forget that feeling of just knowing that he would win every fight he entered, that pure sense that he was a true machine. I will also never forget the decent into madness that we all watched him take. I miss that but I have no doubt after watching this show that he misses it more, and regrets so much of what led him to loose so much of what he had. Get deep in this, and Enjoy it. And if you don't like this particular Mike, then screw ya. :)Jesse of www.jesse.ca
