Ratings and reviews

Y2j is one of my top 5 favorite wrestlers of all time so I was really excited to dig into this book. It was cool to read about everything he had to overcome but the book got boring at times and I feel like he was trying to be too funny. If you are a fan of jericho you will probably know a great deal of what he shares in this book from tv and his dvd. If you are a casual wrestling fan I would check out mankinds book or bret harts before i would pick this up. Still an okay read.

Not a big wrestling fan at all...just Canadian and wanted to read his story-because I know the name Chris Jericho. Great book. I really like the way his story was delivered. Excellently written.

This is a great book really amazing what these guys have to do to make it in the wrestling business and Chris Jericho really helps you to understand that. Can't wait to read the next one.
