Which book should I get next?
I've read a lot of wrestling biographies, some better than others, and wondered if anyone had a suggestion for the next one I got.
I've currently got; Shawn Michaels Hogan's Flairs Both Foleys Austin Jerry Lawler Kurt Angle The Rocks (sheesh...that was tough) William Regal Now, admittedly, I've fallen into the consumer trap and I've only picked up (or been given) books published by the WWE. Are there any other decent wrestling books I can get? |

I haven't read any of those but I will say, I really really really want Terry Funk's.. Awhile back it was only in hardcover and I hate that..
Also, The Death of WCW (next to Have a Nice Day) is the best wrestling related book I've ever read.. |

Wrestlecrap and Death of WCW are two of the best non-biography books on wrestling.

I have never read nor do I know anyone who has read Regal's book other then you. It seems like it could be worth the read...give me a testamonial please.

I really enjoyed the book. he explains candidly about his drug problem and blames no one but himself. It is also very different, because every other book I've read (apart from The Rocks) talks about wrestling territories in the US, wheras Regal's lets you know what the British scene is like.
He also explains all about the 'bug' he picked up while touring which kept him out of action. If you get the chance, pick it up. And everyone else who replied, I actually looked through Amazon's wrestling books and checked the reviews...I made a short list of books and you've all said the ones that interested me. Thanks. |

I hope they come out with a book on WCCW. As a kid who grew up hearing about WCCW and how the Von Erich's are GODS, I would really love to read about it.
