Chris Jericho- A Lions Tale

Vince135792003

I'm about a third of the way through the book and so far it's brilliant. Often when I read bad autobiographies let alone wrestlings ones, there's a lack of authenticity about them in that you just know that the "author" spent a few days talking into a recorder and then someone wrote it up for them.

This book is totally not like that. You can tell he put a tonne of work into it and some of the stories are just gold so far.

Another thing I like about the book is that it includes extra little things like the Hart family wrestling school ad at the time, a letter that the head trainer sent him and an eerie photo of a bunch of wrestlers at the Owen Hart funeral.

You can get the book here: http://www.amazon.com/Lions-Tale-Around-World-Spandex/dp/0446580066

Also Bret Hart's book is available now on Amazon Canada. I've heard that the tone of his book is very different but it's just as much a must read.

I haven't seen it anywhere yet, but am on the look out for it. It usually takes a few months I think.

How did you get it so soon Vince? Amazon inform me that I should have it between Nov 3rd and Dec 14th, which is ambiguous to say the least.

This is a description of the book for anyone that is interested

This funny, insightful and compulsively readable autobiography by professional wrestling superstar Lion Heart Jericho matches fellow wrestler Mick Foley's bestselling Have a Nice Day! Jericho reached international stardom after joining the media juggernaut World Wrestling Entertainment (formerly WWF) in 1999, but this book neglects his many accomplishments since then, such as his legendary same-night defeat of wrestling powerhouses the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to become the WWE's first undisputed heavyweight champion. Instead, Jericho recounts the fascinating story of his early years—in effect, a short history of world wrestling trends since 1960—from his brutal early training in his native Canada through finally being invited to join the WWE. Jericho ignores or glosses over controversial topics like steroid use, preferring to keep things light and cheery. His hilarious and detailed descriptions of his many bouts, especially his 1995 calling card match in Japan before 10,000 fans, will leave readers hoping for a sequel. (Oct. 25)

I just ordered it off one of those "used and new sellers". Got it in a bout 10 days.

God bless advanced copies, a lot of people sell theirs on Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc and as a result, it's easier to get book out sooner than usual.
