It is a good great, but I couldn't shake the sense that those weren't Flairs words I was reading. Because is was done with the aid of a ghost writer, its more than likely Flair just spoke briefly into a dictaphone and some poor bastard had to do pretty much all the rest. There's times when I think that those words couldn't possibly be his, and times when I read something that does definately sound like him (and then wonder why the rest doesn't)
Overall, there's some good stuff in there. His dealings with Dusty are particularly enlightening and his references to "simply going through the motions" with Randy Savage made me chuckle. The final chapter is a nice conclusion, so give it a read. It feels like Flair had a much bigger contribution here, and it shows.
On a bitter note, his cocksucking of the WWE and all its apparent glory fucks me off too. Its like Foley's second book - trying to convince us all that the WWE is a haven and the backstage is like a big happy family. If you believe that then you'll believe most things. I'm sure Flair's head is too far up HHH's arse, or vice versa on occassions, that Flair can't realise what a shit-hole the backstage areas of raw, and particularly, smackdown must be.
