I can't be bothered to spend my money on a wrestling book, or really any book in general nowadays.

Somebody recommend me a wrestling biography.

Edge wrote a fantastic book. Ever since I read it I've been a huge fan of his.

William Regal had some good stories.

I was suprised at how much I enjoyed Jerry Lawler's book. If you like watching wrestling from the old territory days you should definatly check out this one.

The best wrestling book that i've ever read would definatly by Chris Jericho's. I would recommend this 100%.

I've only read Edge's and Rock's, Edges was far more interesting tbh. Bret's + Jericho's I've heard a lot of good things about.

Heartbreak and Triumph was amazing, it made me cry. It was so emotive, it really left you in no doubt Shawn's life is wrestling. While his love for his family slowly became more obvious throughout, his one passion has been the business. It also made me more sure than ever that he is sorry for what he did in his earlier years, and that his "I lost my smile" speech was absolutely genuine.

Yeah, I've read that too. He's actually my favorite of all-time and I'd have to put that to a second against Jericho's. Jericho's really had it all. It was funny, inspirational, informative and everything else. It's a really great book. My favorite I've read actually.

Suprised to see no votes for 'Have A Nice Day'.


Only wrestling book I've read, but it's great....

I have to say Eric Bishoff's was good. I didn't get it until a month or so ago and so far its been a good read.

I have to admit the only one I've read is Kurt Angle's first book.

In Order:
Jericho's book
Tom Billington's book titled "Pure Dynamite" (he was the Dynamite Kid, one half of the British Bulldogs tag team back in the 1980's. GREAT, GREAT book.)
"Have a Nice Day"by Foley.

I enjoyed William Regal's. Must be said that you must be careful with the official WWE ones as they stretch the truth. Hogan's is the ultimate example :/

^To add to that, don't ever read the WWE ones by The Rock and Stone Cold. They're written pure kayfabe style.
