Book Reviews of A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex
Book Review: Breaking down the walls
Summary: 4 Stars
I had a great time reading this book as this was a book written by one of the "younger generation" of wrestlers - the ones that I grew up with and followed their careers from the mid 90's to today. Chris Jericho presented a funny and amusing account of his travels as a wrestler and the dues he had to pay along the way - probably one of the last wrestlers to go through the "territorial system" on his way to the WWE. In addition, he also presented a unique take on the turmoil that was WCW as an undercard wrestler being "held down" from breaking through. I also enjoyed reading about the hush hush double secret meeting Jericho had with Vince and co. Of course, with the ending of the book at his intro to WWE, I look forward to "part II" of the Lion's Tale.
Summary of A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex
Chris Jericho is the first undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the WWE and WCW, and has been called one of the fifty greatest wrestlers of all time. Now retired, he is writing his memoir, telling the story of his journey from wrestling school in Canada to his time in leagues in Mexico and Japan to his big break in the WCW. He'll dish the dirt on how he worked his way through the ranks alongside major wrestling stars like Chris Benoit and Lance Storm to become a major superstar.Entertainers Books
