Just wondering what you guys thought were... not necessarily the best, but the most interesting wrestling books. Looking to read some and have an amazon kindle so alot of them are available to me at one click.
Currently reading:
Wrestlecrap:
Basically a book about the worst gimmicks and angles in wrestling from The Shark to "The Underfaker". Very interesting read and it highlights how hated Flair is/was by the people he worked for, and how much of a dick Hogan is and how often he ruined storylines etc with his massive ego. Reading this book has emphasised just how much Hogan stink is currently permeating from TNA.
Other book im reading is
Cross Rhodes: Dustin Rhodes' (Goldust) Autobiography.
Have only read 2-3 chapters so far, but DAMN! This guy did not have an easy life. As a kid was desperate for his fathers attention, but being who he was his father was never around. Dusty tried to stop Dustin getting into the wrestling business but eventually saw it wasnt going to work and got him a job refereeing 2 matches 6 hrs drive away (he earned 20dollars for the night) during one of the matches his pants ripped and his 'Golden Globes' fell out while he was raising the winners hand.
Drove from place to place barely earning enough to cover rent etc etc Got into lots of trouble getting into fights when people badmouthed the industry or his father.
Interesting read so far.
So suggestions? books to stay away from?
