Wrestling books that are must reads

[MenacingMonk]

I know the old site had this thread. Just copped JeriGAWD's 2nd book (first one is a must read) so I'ma start it up in a few. Bret Hart's book is dope.

How are the Austin and Kurt Angle books? I know they're WWF/E certified so I'm not sure how detailed/kayfabe they'd be. I wanna peep that "Ring of Hell" one, too.

Mick Foley's Have A Nice Day (one of the best wrestling books EVER..)

The Rise and Death of WCW (goes into detail about WCW rise and fall..really GOOD read)

Cause Stone Cold Said So (good read by the GOAT)

Mick Foley's Hardcore Diaries (talks about his last run in the E, really interesting read)

The Rock's Know Your Role (Good book but towards the end it gets kinda boring because he talks like his charecter and kinda kills the mood of the book)

hope that helped ya..

Jericho's A Lions Tale is a must cop. Second book is okay but too heavy on the Fozzy ish.

Heartbreak and Triumph is a good one but the best to me has to be between Foley's first and Eddie Guerrero's Cheating Death and Stealing Life. Guerrero's is a must have for any wrestling fan.

I skimmed through Missy Hyatt's book once. Its ok if you like that gossipy kind of literature (no judging here). Batista's was kinda the same way too.

I've only read Bret's, heavily enjoyed that one. Especially his pre-WWF stuff when he was wrestling in random ass places like Panama where people couldn't separate the fact it was scripted and were willing to kill, lol.. Plus all his stories of smashing random ring rats.

I have HBK and Y2J's books on deck next.

I'm not one who reads books often but thoroughly enjoyed Eddie Guerrero's. Gives a great insight.

Bret's book and both of Jericho's are the best wrestling books I've read.

Anything released by WWE (other than Foley) is too lightweight, is semi-kayfabe and way too ghost-writer. I would stay away from anymore of those.

Why doesnt Nash have a book? That always :mindblows:

He said he has no interest in doing a book in an interview a few years ago. If he ever changed his mind it will a 1st day cop for me.

What the hell would he have to talk about? He does a shoot video every month.

Pure Dynamte the autiobiography of the Dynamite Kid is a great read as is Chris Jericho's first book

True.

Its Nash I'm sure he could think of some entertaining fukkery to fill out a whole book. Plus he always seems drunk in most those shoots anyway. at least that how it seems in the clips i see on youtube.
