I bought Chris Jericho's book on Tuesday night. It's now Thursday afternoon and I read the whole damn thing in nearly a day and a half.
For those wondering, it's 412 pages long and very detailed.
Sans spoiling anything within the book, the only thing I wasn't satisfied with was he talked about everything from beginning his wrestling training up to debuting with the wwf. I was hoping to hear about some of his thoughts about wrestling with the wwf as the whole book builds up wrestling there as his lifelong dream.
The long and short of it is I'd recommend this book to buy as it's very detailed and proof read by Mick Foley... Lol

I'd love to read it.
He's probably saving the WWE-current stuff for a sequel.

I knew about a year ago how the book would end because Jericho said so. He said when he did the WWF stuff, he wanted to be released as a WWF book and the first one would end as the Millenimum Counter hit zero....which is exactly how he ended it.

My theory on why he stopped when he got to the WWE is as follows:
-It made for a good ending point, like when Mick wins the title at the end of Have a Nice Day.
-More importantly, if he waits until he's retired from wrestling, that means he can tell any stories he wants about anybody in WWE, without having to worry about stepping on anyone's toes when he comes back.

There's still an unanswered question after reading this book. What the f*** was Jericho supposed to do with a broad sword?

Two others that bug me
What the hell was the nitro dance?
Also, in WCW he talks about one of the biggest reactions he'd ever seen.
I was hoping he'd spill on the other two but he probably will in the wwf/e book.

I was hoping he'd spill on the other two but he probably will in the wwf/e book. The nitro dance was kind of a shuffle, like running in place and kicking his feet up about 12 inches off the ground, I believe he pulled it off in WWE a few times too. Some people asked him about it at his signing. |

I think another main reason he stopped at his debut in the WWE was because this book wasn't put out by Vince. If the WWE published this book you can bet that his early days would have been cut way down and more WWE stuff would be in it. Also from day one all Jericho wanted to be was in the WWE. He reached that dream so he stopped there.

From the sounds of it this is a great book I ordered it from ROH last week I can't wait hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow.
