Wrestler's Biographies you REGRET buying......

[respectmeordye3]

Two come to mind for now.....

Don't get me wrong-Contrevesy Creates Cash and Hulk Hogan's book are not the best or most honest of books but they still have a lot of stuff that I like to re-read them for from time to time.

Books I regret buying on the other hand?

It's Good To Be The King:Jerry Lawler:

I am still trying to finish Mick Foley's last book as boring as it gets--but at least Foley's boring book was worth the money because I still WANT to finish it. I started Lawler's book and got bored quicker than I ever have before. I mean his writing doesn't even have hilarious stories--at least not yet that I have seen-and he spends quite a long time yapping about Andy--not to mention he goes in and out of kayfabe on the flip of a coin. His book just got lame really quick.


Adam Copeland On the Edge: Adam Copeland:

I got the title mixed up but I am too lazy to go find the real book title-not that it matters. I was looking forward to his book so much when I first heard about it. Then I bought it and read it.

Urrrggggghhh!

Don't get me wrong--Adam's book is anything but boring and can be quite entertaining---however he also seems to brag through most of the book about all the rotten things he's done and seems to regret none of it--in fact he seems to be quite proud for a lot of the crap he's done. The fact that he betrayed Matt Hardy--a guy who thought Adam was his best friend---and screwed Lita makes it that much more difficult for me to like the jerk. Now I know there will be some who want to put all the blame on Lita-and she does share some of the blame, no doubt--but it takes two to tango and Adam is just as guilty. The fact he has not supposedly apoligized to Matt makes me dislike him that much more. Sold his book almost a week later after I bought it(I am a fast reader)

Hogan's... He just couldn't get over himself

[metylerca]

Kurt Angle's bio. It is really Kurt going on about how great he is and how he did no wrong and how he loved WWF and Vince..

Nowadays to read that, its contradictory

I remember Hogan's having alot of inaccuracies as well..

[britishbulldog]

In some ways I regret buying Pure Dynamite. Now there is some interesting things in it and it was a very quick read. But man is he self-absorbed and bitter. Makes me sad considering how much of a mark I am for him

The book was really strange , it had a million chapters pretty much every new thought was a chapter instead of a new paragraph. The other thing was everything in the book I knew already about Hogan from DVDs and other tv appearances there was nothing truly groundbreaking.

Terry Funk, DDP, The Rock

[britishbulldog]

Put the Rock in there for me too.

[Johnny Danger (Godz)]

How could someone regret Terry Funk's? I loved it....

As for ones I regret buying? Kurt Angle and....sigh....Chyna

[gimmieabreakbrain]

same with me, Chynas, Angles, Rocks, and I didn't really care for Stone Colds. I won't read any of those ever again. Bishoffs book really sucks. I never finished it and I don't think I will.

[CrazySting]

Chyna and rocks.

[skiller]

The Rock and Kurt Angle.

[Deleted]

Chyna's and The Rock's, but I'm not sure if they count because I found them absolutely hilarious.

[invaderdave]

The Rock's book seemed really forced. I mean, the parts where he talked in character were terrible, but man, he kept throwing out ten dollars words, and I'm pretty sure I didn't see a single contraction word in the whole book.

Then again, it might actually be how the guy talks, but I dunno. The book sucked, the end.

[CrazySting]

Chyna's is weird. She mentions half way through the book she was raped in collage, but it's never once mentioned again after that. You can say, well it was too traumatic to talk about but why put it in there in the first place? She could have followed up on it a bit.

Not to mention she's totally full of herself, all the while trying to come off as self depreciating.

[Steveweiser]

The Rock's and Chyna's. I found Angle's a bit cringeworthy, but I was given that one free by WWE.

[kingoftheindies]

I don't think Bischoff's is too bad. It is an interesting read, but at times he definatly doesn't put the whole truth out there.

I did not like Dynamite's book at all.

[royboy8]

DDP'S. I bought it when it first came out so it was really expensive and it sucked balls. The only bad Wrestler Bio I have bought and I have bought over 15...

[CrazySting]

King's is quite annoying in how hypocritical he is.

He spends most of the book bragging about how he cheated on his first two wives, doesn't appear to feel any of their pain or unhappiness about this...and they Stacy cheats on him and expects us to feel sorry for him!

What goes around comes around.

[phenomphan]

The Rock. I love the guy, but he talked in character way too much in his book. And when he wasn't in character he didn't really tell anything that we didn't know already, aside from his personal life. I can't even think of anything that really stood out in that book.
