I'm reading the Chris Jericho book right now and really loving it. I was wondering if anyone would recommend any of the following - titles in bold are the ones I'm most interested in...

Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling by Bret Hart

Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling by Heath McCoy

Wrestling Babylon: Piledriving Tales of Drugs, Sex, Death, and Scandal by Irvin Muchnick

Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story by Eddie Guerrero and Michael Krugman

Cowboy and the Cross, The: The Bill Watts Story: Rebellion, Wrestling, and Redemption by Cowboy Bill Watts and Scott Williams

Terry Funk: More Than Just Hardcore

King of the Ring: The Harley Race Story

Dusty: Reflections of an American Dream by Dusty Rhodes

National Wrestling Alliance: The Untold Story of the Monopoly that Strangled Professional Wrestling by Tim Hornbaker

WWE Legends - Superstar Billy Graham: Tangled Ropes by Billy Graham and Keith Elliot Greenberg

Wrestling at the Chase: The Inside Story of Sam Muchnick and the Legends of Professional Wrestling by Larry Matysik

Bang Your Head: The Real Story of The Missing Link by Dewey Robertson

The Rise & Fall of ECW: Extreme Championship Wrestling by Thom Loverro

Brody: The Triumph and Tragedy of Wrestling by Larry Matysik and Barbara Goodish

As much as I love to read autobiographies by my favourite wrestlers I'm also interested in the history of wrestling. I loved reading the PWI and assorted magazines in the 80s. It really gave me a sense of history and perspective - albeit kayfabed and skewed according to the tastes of the editor. I wish we had better historical perspectives online aside from match analysis so something like the NWA, Stampede and Wrestling at the Chase sounds so interesting on paper.

I personally would recommend Dynamite Kid's book , Mick Foley's first book, The Death of WCW by Bryan Alvarez and some other guy, and from the first 150 or so pages - Chris Jericho's "A Lion's Tale...". Jericho's book is as honest as Dynamite's so far and as easy to read as Foley's.

Terry Funk's is way too short. I mean, the guy's dad was an important figure in wrestling...Dory is his brother, and Terry has been around nearly as long as God, and I think the book only goes about 250 pages. It just seemed like there should have been so much more in there.

Wrestling at the Chase: Not bad. You get some real good looks into several St. Louis wrestlers, how they were booked and the style of St. Louis wrestling.

Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling by Heath McCoy
Has my highest recomendation. Very honest and even handed, very well put together narrative as well.

Wrestling Babylon: Piledriving Tales of Drugs, Sex, Death, and Scandal by Irvin Muchnick
Worth checking out for the Von Erich article alone.

Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story by Eddie Guerrero and Michael Krugman
Pretty good and very honest. Reccomended

Cowboy and the Cross, The: The Bill Watts Story: Rebellion, Wrestling, and Redemption by Cowboy Bill Watts and Scott Williams
Very strongly reccomended.

Terry Funk: More Than Just Hardcore
Reccomended. Wish it had been longer.

National Wrestling Alliance: The Untold Story of the Monopoly that Strangled Professional Wrestling by Tim Hornbaker
A must have if you are interested in history.

Wrestling at the Chase: The Inside Story of Sam Muchnick and the Legends of Professional Wrestling by Larry Matysik
Might be my favorite wrestling book of all. The story of St Louis wrestling (and how it was respected within the community)fascinates me

The Rise & Fall of ECW: Extreme Championship Wrestling by Thom Loverro
I thought it was pretty much a waste of time.

Brody: The Triumph and Tragedy of Wrestling by Larry Matysik and Barbara Goodish
One of the best biographies I've ever read.

Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling by Heath McCoy

I have this book, but I haven't had time to read it. I'm still reading the book about heels. Kurt Brown recommended this book about Stampede. I think he has a review of it at Amazon.com, under his Lucky Pierre/Vandal Drummond wrestling name.

Terry Funk: More Than Just Hardcore

I liked this book a lot. I read this a couple of years ago. I read it in about 2 days, which tells you its short since I'm usually busy with dvds and work and somehow finished this fast.

King of the Ring: The Harley Race Story

Great book too. Great stories. There was a lot of stuff I had no idea that Harley went through. I liked him as a wrestler, but after reading this book I've grown to admire him as a person.

National Wrestling Alliance: The Untold Story of the Monopoly that Strangled Professional Wrestling by Tim Hornbaker

I tried reading this book. It's a good historical book, but it felt like I was reading a textbook for some reason. At least the early part of it. I'll probably get back to it at a later time.

I also have to recommend the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Heels book written by Greg Oliver and Steven Johnson. My only gripe is that Kevin Sullivan wasn't included, yet Jeff Jarrett somehow made it into the book.

Bret Hart's book is fantastic. Very eye-opening and very unrestricted. He covers everything.

"Pain and Passion" is possibly the best wrestling book I've read, and I've read most. I can't recommend it enough. Someone needs to do books of this quality on each of the territories.

National Wrestling Alliance: The Untold Story of the Monopoly that Strangled Professional Wrestling by Tim Hornbaker

I have to agree that though this book is extremely interesting it reads like a text book in places due to the sometimes overwhelming amount of information, history, and details. It is atypical for a wrestling book in that it is not a light read; you have to pay attention to names and dates and you can not skim a paragraph. If you like dense text this is for you. If you want to read something before bed, or in my case, while craddling a baby this is not for you.

Of your list, I have read an reccomend:

Terry Funk: More Than Just Hardcore
King of the Ring: The Harley Race Story
Superstar Billy Graham: Tangled Ropes by Billy Graham and Keith Elliot Greenberg
Bang Your Head: The Real Story of The Missing Link by Dewey Robertson (although I didnt get to finish it)

I second your thoughts on
Pure Dynamite - Dynamite Kid
The Death of WCW by Bryan Alvarez
Blood & sweatsocks by Mick Foley

I couldnt stand reading "Dusty: Reflections of an American Dream by Dusty Rhodes", as it was just a lot of Dusty saying "I'm not saying I'm the greatest ever, but...", and it just seemed to ramble on.

I liked "Arn Anderson 4 Ever", but a lot of people don't because he kayfabed.

I liked Lawler's "Its Good to Be the King, Sometimes" a lot, but it gets rough around the parts when him and Stacy break up.

Kurt Angle's "its True" is pretty good, especially the part where he talks about his pre-WWF days. After that, its kinda pointless.

Moolah's book is godawful.

Bobby Heenan's first book is tremendous.

Roddy Piper's "In The Pit With Piper" is pretty good, but kinda jumps around a lot. It gives a lot of good info about his pre WWF days.

HHH's book about bodybuilding is not as bad as it was made out to be. If you read any bodybuilding magazines on a regular basis, then the bodybuilding stuff is kinda pointless. But the bio stuff is pretty interesting, especuially him talking about recovering from his torn quad.

Ole Anderson's book is one of the best I have read. It might not be as interesting to people outside of the business, I dont know. He talks a lot about booking and stuff like that.

I thought Flair's "To Be The Man" was pretty good.

If you like reading about wrestling history and especially the NWA territory system, "Chokehold" by Jim Wilson and another guy is excellent. If you go into it knowing that Jim Wilson is a guy that never really accomplished much but had a real high opinion of himself, it is a fantastic book.

EDIT: Speaking of books that read like a text... there is a book that I got as a gift last year called "Slaphappy". Back in the "No-Sticking" forum there was a thread where I talked about the book a bit. Basically, a sociologist who was not a fan of wrestling at all studied how young men flock to it, and all of the homoerotic and ritualistic stuff involved. It reads like a sociology thesis, but is pretty interesting if you enjoy reading stuff like that.

Selling points on Brody?

Bret's book is a must-read. Like Freeway said, he covers every damn second of his career. Good thing he carried a tape recorder all those years.

Superstar Billy Graham's autobiography was very interesting, I highly recommend it. He's very honest throughout the whole thing (well, there may be some stuff about the steroid trial that has been edited).

No comments on Chyna's book, "If You Only Knew" ?

The one-sided soap opera-esque first meeting between her, Shawn, and Hunter is hilarious.

"Then these two giant muscular sexy men actually spoke to me. TO ME! They admired my body, and we shared a drink discussing workout techniques. Hunter gave me his telephone number and a wink..."

"Later on the guys called me, we drank all night..."

When it was probably more like...

"HO-LY SHIT! Look at that bitch!"

"That's a guy, Paul."

"Come on, let's fuck with her."

Thought Eddie's book was great. One of the few books i've read whear pretty much every major aspect of a person's career was covered in good detail.

The Graham one is definitely worth a read...pretty fascinating stuff. Near the end he talks about the young girl who died (which allowed him to get the life-saving surgery he needed) - it's pretty heavy stuff.

The Graham book is the most emotional wrestling-related read, and is definitely a must-read. Terry Funk's book has some great stories in it (including one that involves a Hart family dinner, a cat, and a salad), but does seem very brief considering the long career he's had in wrestling. Dynamite's book was fascinating, but it's incredibly dark and disturbing at times.

Eddie's book was exceptional, and covered not only his career very well, but his real life as well. Despite not seeing St. Louis wrestling before reading the book, I loved Wrestling at the Chase a lot, and it's incredible to read about how respected Sam's product was at its peak.

I'm around page 300 right now in Bret's book, and man does he ever cover every second of his career and the only problem I've had so far is he also covers every second of his relationship with Julie. Every time they got in a fight while he was overseas or after a PPV. Other than that, this is a very good storytelling book and I would rank it right up there with Foley's, if only this book wasn't so criminally under-promoted. I was -shocked- when I stumbled across it in Chapters a few weeks back.

Pain And Passion is an awesome book. I loved the detail in the 70's concerning angles with Abdullah the Butcher or The Stomper. Some hilarious stuff about Bad News Allen back in the day also. Made me wish a lot of the stuff wasn't in clipped form from TV shows over the years. I also loved the stories about Dynamite's heel turn and the classics with Bret.

Eddie's book felt underwhelming to me for some reason. It felt like he rushed through a lot of stories - and it could have easily filled another 200 pages. A good quick little read however.

Cowboy And The Cross was honestly informative from a booking perspective and I gained even more respect for Bill Watts. A lot of boys hate him and think he's a piece of shit. But goddamn the story about pulling the guy's eyeball out had me laughing for a good ten minutes. Does that make me a sick fuck? Eh whatever. He was open about coming in to work under Vince, when he felt he was on Vince's level. It's sad he doesn't miss the business because I'd love to see a boozed up Cowboy Bill Watts book an independent company for a few years. THE TOP ROPE RULE WASN'T THAT BAD DAMNIT!!

National Wrestling Alliance does at times read like a history textbook and that's not necessarily a bad thing if you're truly interested in the beginnings and history of the organization. I felt the author skipped through a few years just going from head changes through the annual meetings, but I enjoyed the chapter on Lou Thesz and haven't gotten past that quite yet.

The Rise And Fall Of ECW book is fine if it's read as a companion to the DVD. It's got a few different stories but didn't really tell you anything you didn't know from watching the DVD. Same as Eddie's book, a quick read with some good stories but nothing you'll remember in a year's time.

Whats amazing is that the original version was like 1500 pages and it was cut to around 500 when it was released. Yet somehow it still covers every second of his career.

Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling by Heath McCoy

Absolutely one of the best books on pro wrestling that I've ever read. Well-researched and well-written.

Terry Funk: More Than Just Hardcore

Full of interesting stories. Well worth getting. I've read it several times.

National Wrestling Alliance: The Untold Story of the Monopoly that Strangled Professional Wrestling by Tim Hornbaker

They manage to take a great story like the history of the NWA and make it a chore to get through by piling on the details in a boring and pedantic way. A huge let-down so far, and I'm yet another reader who put the book aside long before finishing it.

Brody: The Triumph and Tragedy of Wrestling by Larry Matysik and Barbara Goodish

I'm a big Brody fan. This book is a fawning tribute rather than an honest look at his life and career. I guess that isn't too surprising considering that it was co-written by his wife and his biggest fan. Not terrible at all, but not really recommended unless you want to read -- again and again -- what a great guy Brody was and how awful it was that he was murdered.

Yeah, you should add Slaphappy to your list. It's really good - not perfect - but a great real look at wrestling fans, not to mention a trip to the Hart dungeon and a look at XPW and ECW.

I'd also agree that the rise and fall of ECW is a waste, nothing much in there, though there was a lot of stuff about the early days that I hadn't seen anywhere else.

This is a perfect description of this book. It is an absolute chore to get through and poorly organized to boot. There's all kinds of stuff that's out of order chronologically and tons piled-on facts and details that do nothing but detract from the overall text. The first 100 pages or so should have been expanded to about 200 while the final 250 pages should have been cut down to about 100. I managed to get all the way through but it was NOT easy.

Tabe

I've read about 3/4 of those books on your list and the only two I'd recommend are "Wrestling Babylon" and Superstar Billy Graham's bio. "Wrestling Babylon" is a great, dirtsheet-style (although written by a far more literate person than Keller or Meltzer) expose of some of the biggest scandals of the wrestling business. Billy Graham's book is just brutally honest and a fascinating read.

I'd strongly advise staying away from all the biographies put out by Sports Publishing (Dusty, Link, Funk, Race)---they're all like exactly 250 pages each and just reek of some editor thinking wrestling fans are mouth-breathing idiots so the books were dumbed down and cut to the bare bones. I mean, c'mon, Dusty and Funk could write 500 pages on their careers and not even make it to the mid 80's if given free rein yet those books just blow through the years without barely skimming the surface. Dusty's book is particularly horrible as he's either telling you how great he was, who worshiped him back in the day, or how awesome he/his kids are now.

The Bill Watts book has some interesting historical bits if that's your thing but he wrote it in character so it gets a bit annoying after you notice every other page has a reference to him whupping somebody, him thinking about whupping somebody, somebody being afraid he'd whup them, etc etc.

The Edge and Hardy Boy (Matt Hardy wrote it) books were the best WWE books I read. Foley's last book was okay when he was talking about his dealings with the creative team but all the other stuff, with the lame attempts to come across cool by mentioning the divas or his petitioning for sainthood by talking up all his noble endeavors (hey, I respect him for doing charity work but I hate when people repeatedly and loudly point it out---it smacks of self-promotion).

For wrestling history, there was a great book could "Sex, Drugs and Headlocks" that Meltzer once said on WOL was the book he wished he'd written because it was an awesome history of first the WWF-NWA rivalry and then (primarily) the WWF-WCW Monday Night War. Metlzer's "Tributes" books are also very good historical pieces on deceased wrestlers.

The HBK, Bischoff, and Vince Russo books were the worst books I've read. HBK's because he was so blatantly dishonest, Bichoff because he was both dishonest and totally oblivious/in denial about what happened, and Russo's because half is written in Russo-speak and half is religious blabbering that was just an unreadable mess.

Brets book is absolutely incredible that anything people can say won't do it justice, you just need to escape yourself into it. 1/3 the way through and your still not in WWF. He covers EVERYTHING he ever did and just about every notable match he had he will cover it. There's some hilarious stuff in there too, not all serious bizness.

Funny you say that as I am half way through the Bischoff book and am enjoying it a great deal.

I can not say enough good things about the books by Ole Anderson and Joe (the Assassin) Hamilton. Both are co-written by Scott Teal and are must reads. Great insights on the business and booking by two respected veterans.

Shawn's book was pretty good I thought, could of been more in-depth and obviously left out so much due to his ''religion'' and not wanting to come off like a complete prick.

I'm waiting on a Nash or a Hall book, Nash is unlikely but Scott's could be an excellent read, going off his shoot interview; which is the best shoot I think I've seen.

The Jericho book (not on the list) is pretty darn good, but the Bret book is clearly the best wrestling book I've read thus far (and I've read almost all of them). It's exhaustingly comprehensive, very funny, and also heartbreaking. It's actually written quite well, too.

Yeah, I thought Michaels' wasn't enough of the kind of information that makes me dying to read more. It wasn't really bad, but I suppose it's like Michaels the person, FWIW. An unauthorized bio would have interested me more.

And I agree about Hall's shoot. That really took me by surprise, but it's definitely in the top few of all that I've seen. Candor and straightforwardness that I didn't expect. I'm not sure how his story would translate to a book, but I wanted to second your opinion.


There are a few different kinds of wrestling books out there. I'm mostly interested in the biographies that have a lot of meaty territory history, so the guys that came along after that I'm not so much excited by. I don't think I've read any by any wrestler under 45 that held my interest, though I'm looking forward to Hart's and Jericho's very much. I thought the Graham and Flair books were great. Keith Greenberg takes some flack on certain boards for being a WWE apologist, but I don't find that to be true at all. He just got the gigs of writing about three guys, if you count Blassie's which I also enjoyed, who were appreciative of how Vince was treating them in their twilights. It's their views not his, even if it is his writing.

The Bischoff and Russo books I didn't make it through.

Has anyone read Gopherland Grappling , about wrestling in Minnesota in the '50s?

Highspots are selling 8 books for $19.99 at the moment:

* Dusty Rhodes - The American Dream
* Dynamite Kid - Pure Dynamite
* Gordon Solie - Something Left Behind
* Ric Flair - To Be the Man
* Roddy Piper - In the Pit with Piper
* Top 100 Pro Wrestlers of All Time
* Dave Meltzer's Tributes 1
* Wrestling Maniac's Super Trivia

I'm sure shipping won't be cheap, but it's still a really good deal.

I allready have 5 of those books

I think the Bischoff book is a very good book. It is his words though, so obviously he is going to defend some of the things he did, rather than say "wow, I cant beleive I did that". I think Bischoof's book and "Death of WCW" are companion books that you should read one after the other to get a view of the bigger picture.

The Brody book was good and really touching but borders on hagiography in some places. Larry Matsyik's super posi attitude is less than scholarly and makes me a little apprehensive about Wrestling at the Chase HOWEVER being from the area it is super cool to read about all the little feds that sprang up in between KC and central Illinois when the NWA was going down. So weird to think about Bruiser Brody in a gym in Centralia, IL or somewhere.

So, I saw this book at Barnes and Noble a few months ago called "Wrestling's Greatest Heels". I believe Dave Meltzer wrote it. Has anybody read that/heard of it? I didn't have any time to take a look at it, but it definitely sounded like an interesting read.

You might have missed my earlier post. Is it this book?



I'll add, a little more info...

I've read half of it since I've been busy, but its good. Its about the best heels that worked in the US and Canada since they really didn't add a lot of names from Japan and skipped Mexico, which honestly they could have gotten a lot of great stories about. They split it into various categories starting with the top 20, followed by the next 5 and then they split the other heels into "monsters", "connivers", "madmen", "technicians" etc. They have a section on foreigners, but its guys who worked in the states, like Tojo Yamamoto, and not-so-much about them in other countries.

Yeah, that's it. Thanks.

No one has mentioned JJ Dillon's book which came out in 2005 I believe. Anyone looking for lots of stuff on the Horsemen era will be disappointed though. JJ writes several times about how detail oriented he is and you can tell by the book. He goes into such minor details such as how much he spent on real estate deals that most people would not even consider putting in a biography. Lots of stuff about his failed marriages and his kids that most would not be so open about. The book goes step-by-step thru JJ's wrestling career with chapters on all the different territories he worked for until the mid-80s. There are only a couple of chapters covering the whole 85-89 period. The second half of the book is lots of stuff about working backstage in WWF & WCW. If you enjoy the various shoot videos JJ has done, you will appreciate how long-winded he tends to be with an eye for detail and that's what you get here. Highly recommended book.

I finished the Jericho book on Sunday. I enjoyed it more than Foley's first book and it was less of a downer to read than Dynamite's excellent book. The only things I was disappointed about was the lack of WWF/E-era Jericho stories. Maybe I missed the press release or review that stated that it would end when he debuted. I really bought the book for his writings about his experience as a wrestling globetrotter but the possibility of reading about his take on his WWF/E run would have made it so much more. Of course he didn't do that because he just went back but what he wrote leaves out six years from the prime of his career. It did wrap itself fairly well but anyone looking for WWF/E stories will probably be disappointed.

I just received Bret's book today from Amazon. Its quite a bit thicker and Bret probably has nothing to hide and nobody to impress. It should be a much more conclusive than Jericho's in that respect.

As of now, there are 3 titles in the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame series. First released was The Canadians, next was The Tag Teams, and recently released was The Heels. (Up next in the series is The Heroes, released some time next year.) Of the 3, I thought The Tag Teams was the best. The authors conduct numerous interviews and really do their research. I've learned so much reading these books.

I just wanted to add my love for Bret Hart's book as well. Possibly my favourite wrestling book ever, though it's hard to compare anything to Foley's first book just because of how exciting it was at the time to have access to a comprehensive, honest account of wrestling by someone involved in it. I'm about halfway through Jericho's and loving it.

Two books I really enjoyed but haven't been mentioned yet in this thread are William Regal's and Gary Michael Cappetta's.

I was underwhelmed by Bischoff's book, but a lot of it had to do with the annoying format of having a chapter title for every four paragraphs. I was somewhat disappointed in Death Of WCW, as everyone seems to be cast as either completely good or completely bad.

Can anyone recommend a good informative book about the Japanese wrestling scene over the years?

One book I never hear anybody talk about is Inside Out by Ole Anderson. I thoght that was one of the best books I had ever read. Tons of psychology into the booking of Georgia. And he doesn't seem to hold back one bit.

I thought the Bischoff book was fascinating because he had a reason for damn near everything he did, no matter how stupid it seemed, and they all made sense. He came across as very honest, which I wasn't expecting at all.

I would like to recommend Frddie Blassie's book, it's a tremendous read. Not only do you get a firsthand look at Japan in the Rikidozan era, but L.A. at the height of the Olympic's popularity. Blassie was also funny as hell.

Also, Chokehold by Jim Wilson is excellent. Historically, it's vast in it's scope, covering professional wrestling from it's beginnings through modern times. The section on the promoters war in Georgia is a highlight. Wilson is bitter (rightfully so) after many lawsuits with promoters and the NWA and it colors the tone, but this is the best wrestling book I've read.

I'll also second the recommendation of Piper's book.

If anyone is interested I'm selling 37 wrestling books and a bunch of Wrestling Almanacs on eBay right now with no reserve.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZkelliejm13

I forgot about that one... which makes me feel bad because it is an excellent book. Since Blassie stopped wrestling in the early 80's and was more of a name on the west coast, a lot of the stuff he has contributed to the business as a wrestler have been overlooked. He was easily just as big of a name in his hey day as Lou Thesz or Buddy Rogers.

Blassie's and Regal's are probably my 2 favorite wrestling books. Blassie's book is just filthy. He talks about banging all these ring rats while putting on some kind of numbing cream so he lasts longer. Regal's stories about his homelife and addiction are better than the stories he tells about wrestling. Great book.

I just bought this, anyone know if it's any good?:



Mondo Lucha A Go-Go: The Bizarre and Honorable World of Wild Mexican Wrestling by Dan Madigan

Lucha Libre wrestling is nothing short of a phenomenon. Its inescapable visuals have completely permeated the mainstream, and its popularity grows exponentially every year, expanding out from Latin America to hold the entire world in its vise–grip. Dan Madigan will provide the ultimate guide for Lucha fans, in an awesome four–color book that will be undoubtedly informative and incredibly entertaining. Posters, photos, wrestling cards, handbills, mementos will be featured throughout the book. Personal recollections, quotes, stories and memories of Luchador's lives and experiences will provide the backdrop for a completely unique experience in sports.

It's not terrible but far from essential. I'm by no means a lucha expert but I noticed a bunch of inaccuracies in the text. That and the author's bizarrely outmoded choice of kayfabing the most blatantly worked form of pro wrestling (I guess he might have been showing 'face' to some of the Mexican community, but still...) hurt the book as a whole. It's very much a 'lucha for dummies' affair with not a lot of in-depth other than some decent bios on old-timers. The one chapter I found most informative was actully the one on lucha movies, a topic that seems to more of a strength for Madigan than actual lucha libre per se. I suppose a good description of the book would be 'lightweight'.

Mondo Lucha A Go-Go: The Bizarre and Honorable World of Wild Mexican Wrestling by Dan Madigan


If you're looking for cool lucha pics and if you're new to lucha, then this book is worth it.

I bought it and knew almost everything that was in the book from having followed lucha for the past 20+ years. Not a good book for a long-time lucha fan. In fact, if you over the years have read profiles over at the luchawiki or in Jose's old La Arena site, then there really isn't anything new.

I agree that he did write a lot about lucha movies, but that's something I'm not really into.

By the way, I met him at a show back in August and for those who don't know, he was a WWE writer and he was talking about some ideas he had and lets just say they were not very good. Nice guy though.

I loved the Blassie book as well. It was really funny and the line about the aviator cap was gold. I really enjoyed the Superstar Billy Graham book which i didn't think i would. The Jericho book was really funny and almost as good as the first Foley one. I think of them as the same humor biographies, one is for Jr. Lucha etc. and one is more focused on Death Matches and injuries. I am currently reading the Lita book and the Missing Link book. Lita book is not too bad i am kind of interested in her love of lucha and punk rock background.

I understand if he swore you to secrecy or some shit, but you gotta elaborate on those ideas. They can't be any worse then unfrozen cavman nazi.

I found this to basically to be the Rise & Fall of ECW DVD in book form. A lot of stories are straight from the DVD. Not much new stuff.
