Scroby 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 I need a new book to read and my local bookstore (stupid hick town with no good stores in it) has Austin's book...really the only wrestling book they have. Have any of you guys read it and how was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thuganomics 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 It's probably the best autobiography written by someone else WWE has offered. It's not as good as the Foley or Lawler books, but its a solid read. I finished it in a little over a day, but it did take me twice as long as Chyna's worthless ass book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 It's decent. Some chapters are good, some drag. Nothing particularly groundbreaking, but I'd buy it just to see Steve and his brothers doing the Sears catalog poses. Hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted April 24, 2004 I haven't read it, but have heard good things. Note to self: Pick it up. And Dan, I'm surprised that you didn't praise the hell out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He talks too much about his family life and other things, and not a whole lot about his beliefs and insighs on things. There is no real dirt or light shed on anything. Hell, I picked it up and read it in a day, I just don't want people expecting it to be like Foley's books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, reading Foley's and then someone like Chyna's would be a massive letdown, which goes without saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Corino 1000 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 The book was pretty good. I recommend you buy it, when I was reading it,it was addicting so I read it in around 3 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HurriShane 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2004 I thought it was allright. Much better than Angle's and the Rock's but nowhere near as good as Foley's. I was kinda dissapointed that he couldn't talk about the whole Debra situtaion. I would recomend getting it from the library as opposed to spending your hard earned money on it unless you're a diehard Stonecold fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cultism Mask I Report post Posted May 7, 2004 Solid Book. Like others have said..not as good as Foley's or Dynamite Kid's,but better than Chyna's.IMO,It's worth buying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mandarin 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2004 Finished mine going from 5 PM to 10 PM. Nothing special. It's just okay. If you're going to read something, get Popcorn by Ben Elton. It's addicting, I swear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scroby 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2004 You know after reading your guys' reviews. I don't think I'm gonna get it. Rock's really, really sucked and since some of you said it was better than his, doesn't really make me wanna buy it (lol). I think I'll just hold off and maybe get Jimmy Hart's new book or Bobby Heenan's new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On Angle's and The Rock's books, they should've waited until later in their careers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Internet Warfare 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2004 I've read parts of it in the book store and I liked what I read. It wasnt boring and it wasnt great. In the middle. Ranks 4th behind Pipers, Dynamite's and foleys 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
