Immersive, funny, and an amazing journey to go on. I became a fan of wrestling less than 2 years ago with Jericho as being one of my top favorite performers; this book has further given me a greater appreciation of who he is today.

Y2J is a smart, witty and funny guy... I grew up watching him wrestle and while I don't watch wrestling anymore, I'm fascinated with history of the wrestling business... Right after writing this, I will be buying his second book and third when it comes out

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.
