Which wrestler wrote the best autobiography and which is the worst? I am asking because I might buy one and want to make sure I don't waste money.

I haven't really read many, but my favourite is Foleys first book and least favourite is The Rocks (I'll just make 80% of this book a promo) one.
Kurt Angle also has a snoozer of one, mostly because they released it within his first year of the company for some reason so he mostly brags about winning a medal.

Both of Jericho's books are really good. I also recommend Batista's book if you want a good laugh. The man unintentionally (or perhaps intentionally, I can't tell) paints himself as a massive asshole.

Regal's is really good. Rock's is pure shit.

Both of Jericho's are pure gold. I challenge anyone to read them and not find the guy to be awesome. I haven't read The Rock's but I've heard some REALLY bad things about it, what was wrong with it?

The first quarter of it is actually pretty good and informative, IMO. After that, it gets awful because the rest of the book is just him recapping things that happened on Raw that involved him. Basically, as IchiMan said, one long promo.

As said above the parts about his life are good, but for some reason the parts about his wrestling career are written like a Rock promo.

Yeah Jerichos' are brilliant. I only partially read Goldust's, but I found it rubbish.

Ric Flair's is really good. I also enjoyed Freddie Blassie's

I enjoyed Piper's besides the second to last chapter.
Angle's is fascinating, just for his life before WWF...he went through many setbacks. But yes, it was written WAY too soon, hopefully he follows it up.
Foley's is obviously great.
Jericho's first book is awesome and his second one is pretty good, despite his ego about anything he does beyond wrestling.
The only one I didn't enjoy too much was Dibiase's first book. It lacked any depth to who he was and doesn't really do into detail about the incident that led to his renewal in his faith.

I heard Goldust's was garbage from more than a few, though I'd be curious to know specifically how.
Love Jericho's, love Foley's.

Best, pick either of Foley's first two books. They're both great. Worst.....tie between Austin's and Dustin Rhodes'.

Underrated- Lita's.
Overrated- Kurt Angle's.
My favorite- Foley's first.

My favorites are Bret`s, both of Jericho`s and Foley`s first one.
Worst has to be The Rock's. Like someone said the first quarter of it actually talks about his childhood as far as I can remember. But the rest is literally The Rock, talking in the thirs person. No thanks. Couldn't even read it.

The Rock's book is funny, but there's really no drama or hardship.
He becomes a football player, that doesn't work out, so he calls Pat Patterson, gets a try out, and relatively soon after is in the WWE.
It seemed like a pretty easy journey from rejected football player to the wrestling business.
