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

[nealo]

never bought one, i usually pick em up in the store, read the back, lok at picks in the middle then put em back down. i considered buying the rocks form a charity shop for £1.50 but cba. my friend had the WWF cookbook when he was 11

[Bob Schlapowitz]

The only ones I still have are Angle's and "Have a Nice Day". Angle's isn't very good, but hey, it's autographed!

He signed it "To (real name withheld), It's true! It's true!"

[Candy Kennedy]

Not that I've read that many.. but Edge's book was a total bore. All I can remember of it now is the fact that he had gas on the night he met.. one of his future ex-wives..; was watching That 70s Show while writing.., and thinks Jeff Hardy is the best bumper in the business.

Speaking of Hardys', they wrote a damn good book.. I just wish more of Jeff's input could've been in there. They added some interesting things without being too over the top.

The King and The Rocks are the only two that i haven't finished because I was bored to tears by. Ric Flair's was so obviously ghost written, it took away a lot from the book. What interested me about Bishoff's book isnt what he said but what he didn't address. it seemed like he wanted to wash his hands of any and all blame in regards to wcw. never does he really get into the out of control politics, egos, or how they could put over one guy under the age of 38. but, again, im pretty sure bishoff didnt write the book and much of it was written by the wwe writting staff.

I got the Rock's as a gift, read through it, then sold it back to Hasting's. It wasn't bad necessarily, but half of it was totally in character-- The Rock says this, The Rock says that blah blah blah.. just got tedious after awhile being so ensconced in kayfabe.

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.

Yeah, the only thing I remember about The Rock's book was that he lost his virginity at a young age, or what I would have considered a young age when I read it.

I've not read too many wrestler's books, but I think they one I was most disappointed with was Foley's last one, if only because his first two were soo great and this one was a real bore at times.

[Silent Brad]

hogans.........its been sitting on my shelf collecting dust for about the past 4 years.

[baronvonstevie]

Chyna's and the Rock's for me too they were really lame...

[mo]

While I can't say that I regret buying, it's pretty obvious that Bischoff's book was less than 100% truthful. Also he gets the Hogan syndrome and gets the Montreal Screwjob details all wrong.

Never read Rock's, but is sounds interesting to say the least.

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)

And this is why Edge is a hero of mine. When you can be a prick and get rewarded, you are a great man.

[Bishblast]

The Rock's, Lawler's, Flair's I thought was kind of "meh", and Steve Austin's was boring as hell.

[Jay Peas 42]

I've only read King's book, and that was mostly because it was five dollars at Borders and "autographed." I know, I know, I have to read Mick's.

[The Missing Manic]

The Rock for me too Hated Austins I think it was a bit early in his career to bring out an Edge one but I enjoyed it


Bischoffs seemed to skimp on the details a bit IMO

[Cranjis McBasketball]

The Rise and Fall of ECW: The Book!!!

I had the DVD and the book might as well just be the DVD transcibed. Nothing very interesting in the book.

[Jeff]

Mick Foley's Newest

Complete Garbage

[lmagicdancer1]

The only books I ever bought were the first two books that Foley wrote. But I have checked out several from the library.
Ones I liked: Foley's first two books, Ted Dibiase's, hbk's, Funk's, Flair's, Heenan's
Didn't like: Chyna's, Piper's, King's(I really didn't need to know all about his sexual conquests, but at least he was honest.),
Okay or middle road: Stone Cold's, Moolah's, hardcore diaries, hogan, DDP's, Amanda Storm's

[thegame415]

Chyna...hands down

[amishassassin]

I've read The Rock's, Angle's, Mick's, Hogan's, and just finished Jericho's

I'd rank them in this order

1. Mick 2. Jericho 3. Rock 4. Hogan 5. Angle

Mick and Jericho were very entertaining, Rock and Hogan were two of my favorites growing up so i was entertained just for that reason...Angle's was just plain boring.

[bob]

The Rock, Chyna, Hulk Hogan

[goodoldjl]

I only made it through less than half of Austin's book and couldn't even force myself to keep going. It was like a text version of every Stone Cold DVD out there.

As for the worst ever, IMO?

Hogan's by a long shot! He puts himself over and makes everyone he ever worked with appear to worship the ground he walks on. That and the fact the it is written like he speaks with the word "Brother" every 2 or 3 words! C'mon, brother...er...I mean, man!
