I'm so bored just thinking about this book. "Nobody thought I could be a pro wrestler!! I trained hard!!! High school gyms and armories!"

dude we heard this boring ass story 10 X during the build to your match with Cena at SS last year.
it gives inspiratuon to us wrestling fans though, its shows us we can make it, at the end of the day

I like reading wrestler's autobiographies to get the inside story on matches, backstage happenings.. stuff like that. His in ring promos are written by WWE writers.. this will be from his standpoint.. a completely different thing than any promo he's ever done. Mick Foley's books are some of the most entertaining I've ever read. I'm sure as many years as Bryan was in the indy wrestling scene and now his WWE career that's he's got some interesting stories to tell as well. I'm going to read it just for that purpose... simply because I love wrestling.

Watched his DVD from before WWE, so I won't be getting the book. I'd rather have documentary DVDs since you get at least a few matches.

If the way he is shown on Total Divas is more like his real self that is writing this book it could be entertaining I guess. But I'm with @NeoPHX - majority of WWE books I've read aren't all that great. Mick Foley's was pretty good though, but he's an awesomely creative guy anyway so it didn't surprise me. The Lita and Hardy Boys ones were crap, but I liked that they had pics in the middle of the book lol.

I've only read a few. Jericho's were both awesome. Foley was good as expected. The Rock's was actually pretty shit, but I also read it when I was 10 years old.

If you really want to read a good wrestling book though try Bischoff's "Controversy creates cash"

Daniel Bryan is writing an autobiography to come out in time for Wrestlemania 31. Bryan officially announced the book at the San Diego Comic Con today. Below is the cover photo and synopsis from St. Martin's Press:

cc4b48bc5697fa7e022811137b10e843.jpg

"Everyone’s favorite underdog, he’s proven to the world and to all of WWE that looks can be deceiving. This is the behind-the-scenes story told for the first time ever — from his beginnings as a child wanting to wrestle to his ten years on the circuit before finally making it in WWE."

is that the one on the network that followed DB around with a film crew for awhile? Saw the commercials and it looked cool, just haven't watched it yet.

It's an independent documentary following in part Bryan's final independent tour.

Bit good, bit over rated.

Nope, it's the one I just posted of him before going to the 'E' in ROH. I believe he signs at the end of the documentary. I posted it somewhere in this thread.
