Wrestlers Autobiographies

I am currently halfway through Chris Jericho's 'Undisputed' book. I am really enjoying it and I also have Jericho's first one, Mick Foley's 'Countdown to Lockdown' and Rey's one as well. I was wondering what any of your favourite ones are? And is there any books you would recommend? Be for any reason! Any feedback would be much appreciated, thankyou

All of Mick Foleys are good. Although I havent read it but alot of guys on here will tell you Regals is a good read.

Regal, Bret Hart and Jerry Lawlers are good reads as is eddie gurrerro's

Bret Hart, Flair, Lawler I enjoyed, I even liked Bischoff's.

Shawn Michaels' book was ok, I think if he'd kept going with the booze and drugs rather than finding god we would have had a much better read. As it was it could have been retitled: "I'm sorry" - The Shawn Michaels story.
Or maybe it was Vince reigning him in, I don't know.

Really want to get Bobby Heenans' book.

The wife is reading Bret Harts, she said its really good!

Sorry to break it to you but Heenan's book is terrible. Its poorly put together, a lot of his stories are told on his shoot interview and he doesn't really come across as that nice of a guy, unfortunately. Seems like he acts aloof and too good for some of the other guy's antics but pulled some really mean ribs himself, which didn't really add up. Avoid, sadly.

Avoid DiBiase's even harder. Half way through the book hes still in school. Theres one admittedly brilliant story that he tells about an angle his dad (and mum) was in but otherwise its awful - and thats without going down the Michaels/Jesus route he could easily have taken.

Ones I've enjoyed are Bret's (again hes a bitch but theres so much history in his book and its much more believable than Shawn's version of events), Foley's first only (his second is a bigger vanity project than Hulk Knows Best), Jerichos are decent, Flair's is the book I live my life by (probably about as true as the bible but an amazing read), Bischoff's is a good insight into WCW and how no knowledge of wrestling (and only a passing interest) can take you to the top - but he comes across well, oddly.

Dynamite's is a hard slog, go for The Wrestling if you can get it, its a lot of interviews with old British wrestlers, is really good. I remember the Rock's was written by THE ROCK whenever it got to the interesting bits, rendering the whole excerise pointless. Austin and Hogan I haven't read as I heard terrible things about them, can anyone recommend Regal's tome? I've never got round to it.

Lawler's book was seemingly finished the week after The Kat left him - the last few chapters are practically wet with tears - but theres some decent stuff in there about Memphis and the territories, Eddie Guerrero's would be heart warming if, well, y'know....it kind of makes it hard going because its clearly written when he was in a good place, briefly.

Hope thats useful to someone.

Yeah avoid the Rocks book, it's daft when he breaks into character every couple of chapters.

Sad to hear Heenans book isn't up to scratch, the man is up there with the greatest characters in Wrestling and must have some great tales to tell.

I like reading about the ribbing that went on behind the scenes, so I would recommend Foley's first book as well as Bret Hart's, particularly the pranks Owen pulled.

If I had to recommend only one book though, It would have to be Bret's.

cheers guys

As above, Mick Foley's books are great reads, especially the first 2.

I have just finished Joe 'Animal' Laurinaitis's book. That is a good read as well.

I didn't think much of Stone Cold's book to be honest but Bret's, HBK's and Y2J's are all good too.
