Had anyone read Dutch Mantel's book, The World According to Dutch "? I'm halfway through. I paid $25 which was the cheapest I could find it. So far it's an easy read but nothing great. One thing I found interesting was he an Jeff Jarrett were asked to wrestle for a PBS type special where they wrestled while a percussion orchestra was playing behind them. I watched a clip on YouTube and it is something to see.

...I mean, when you're right, you're right...huge bonus points for the art also featuring the best joshi deathmatch EVER.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

I placed my Kindle order for that. Can't wait to check it out when I get off from work.

@King Kamala Want to buy my copy?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Still really curious about that. I think this could be surprisingly real good or a bust. I defintely think, at least, it won't be a boring rote wrestler autobiography.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Is this the first time someone had a fucking trailer to promote their book?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I am a big enough dork to say that is not the first book trailer I have seen.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Mox book looks like it's just transcriptions of Mox rambling his life story.

Definitely will buy this.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

This already sounds amazing

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

It appears that Mox will be doing the reading for his own audiobook. I liked the Bucks’ audiobook, but the person reading messed up so many names. Hearing Moxley read his own book, especially pages like this, is going to be amazing.

Oh man. I'll have to add this to the Christmas list.

Justin Credible Releases Autobiography%%sep%% %%sitename%%

Former ECW World Champion Justin Credible has officially released his autobiography for the public to read.

www.wrestlinginc.com

Justin Credible's book is out.

 

[Valeyard]

Anyone who reads it just wants to deal with the X Factor.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Finding out from the TNA History podcast that Bert Prentice's autobiography just came out posthumously. I might have to pick it up for the early TNA stories and to see if there are any good Jingus stories.

 

[Valeyard]

Prentice was notorious for his creepiness. Even Jingus said so, I think. I'm not scouring for it.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Well. I guess I know why Jerry Lawler wrote the foreword. I guess I will read the Justin Credible book instead.

How many copies have you pre-ordered?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I guess I'd rather read it than Tyrus' book.

Brian Solomon's book on the Sheik is out and it's available on Kindle for $5.39.

 

[Super Leather]

Has anyone read the Mad Dog Vachon biography? I got a copy about a month or so ago and it's in a big pile of books-to-read.

Has anyone read the Mad Dog Vachon biography? I got a copy about a month or so ago and it's in a big pile of books-to-read.

Yes, a few years ago. It's very good. Same author as the more recent Andre the Giant bio.

 

[JHawk]

Brian Solomon's book on the Sheik is out and it's available on Kindle for $5.39.

Jumping on this one. Still working on Tim Hornbaker's Death of the Territories but this is gonna be next in the queue

 

[alkeiper]

About 75% of the way through Solomon's Sheik biography and I'll give it a recommendation. A lot of good information about promotional wars around Detroit in the 1970s.

 

[HarleyQuinn]

I guess I'd rather read it than Tyrus' book.

Any review of this? Kind of curious to hear his take on the WWF backstage + the ECW era from his arrival to him being pushed as the man towards the end of the promotion.
