i want to read jericho's or edge's book next
All in all in the last three years I have read Edge. Flair, HBK, Jericho, Batista (not a fan but still wanted to read it), Bischoff and somebody else who i can't remember exactly.
All good books, but some of the content is very biased, which is natrual I suppose.

I love wrestling books so I will take a look at that. Thanks.
Recently bought and read Jericho and Bischoff's autobiographies. Great reads. Highly recommended also.
My brother's just bought Jericho's, i'll probably read it when he's done.
Definitely get Ring of Hell if you can though, best wrestling book i've read. It details Benoit's career and his influences in the wrestling business. Lots of good stories in it. I don't think the writer has much love for the wrestling business though. According to him they're all dickheads except Owen Hart, apparently.

I will defo look at it.
A word of warning, Benoit features heavily in Jericho's book in a favourable manner, so if you hate Benoit it ight rile you up.
Owen Hart seemed like a great guy, and a lot of them do seem like tossers to be fair.

edge's is ok, but Foley's will always be the stand out ones for me. regal's is fucking hilarious if you haven't read it.
I'm hoping to read Bret's soon

I still haven't read Foley's, I saw it but bought Jericho's instead. I think I will buy Foley's next time I'm in WH Smith's in Glasgow. Will try and get Regal's online, because I can iamgine as you say that he's a funny cunt.
Edge's is very good for me, but then i'm a big Edge mark.
Bret's has been years in development and is reportedly about 1000 pages long

I think you can only get Regal's online, for some reason it never came out in paperback.
I honestly believe that Foley's books are the best, for starters he actually wrote them himself and he puts over so many of the guys in his books instead of just making himself look good

So Regal's is only in digital form? I actually meant using Amazon or something but it looks like torrents now LOL.
I keep meaning to read Foley's, Flair had a dig at him in his book calling him a "glorified stuntman" but to be fair, Flair was a bad booker in WCW lol as Foley claimed.

LOL, he is very self-absorbed but to be fair he can back it up with the talent he possesed.

no I meant you can only buy it online, I don't think its in bookstores anymore. you can pick a copy up on amazon or ebay.
I hated Flair's book tbh, he was overly and unjustly critical of a lot of talent imo

I seem to remember you saying you agreed with Vince's decision about Montreal and although I disagree, you did back it up with some good points. However, I honestly don't believe Bret would've taken the belt to WCW with him.
We're usually on the same page in regards to wrestling but I guess we can't agree ALL the time

Oh right, kl kl.
I enjoyed Flair's because it was contoversial, but he did put himself over and bury a lot of other guys, you are indeed correct.
If you read Bischoff's book he blames other people for WCW's downfall but admits he made mistakes, but Jericho is quite critical of Bischoff in WCW and if, like me, you read both books within a few weeks of each other it's interesting how at odds the viewpoints are.

I agree with that, I think he would have carried out his promise, iirc he was gonna drop the belt the following night on RAW?
However, WWE were shitting themselves after the Women's champion, I think it was Alundra Blaze, desecrated the Women's title on Nitro.
So I can see why Vince was worried.
