USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2004 I started reading the introduction. When he told me to be a little worm crawling into his head, I closed the book calmly and walked out of the bookstore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spman 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2004 Like the Kurt Angle, Chyna, Lita, and Hary Boyz books before it, Edge's career really hasn't been long enough for him to have a particularly enthralling story for wrestling fans to get into. If the library gets a copy, I'll read it, but otherwise I pass, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2004 Actually the Hardyz book was a pretty enthralling story. Reading about going from backyarding to OMEGA to working all over the South to becoming jobbers and finalyly making it up to the big time was really interesting stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Phenom Report post Posted November 11, 2004 I really think he should just be called Adam Copeland now. His book title, Adam Copeland on Edge, has practically killed the kayfabe of the name Edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wolverine1007 Report post Posted November 11, 2004 I actually enjoyed Kurt Angle's book, but only because of his stories as an amatuer wreslter, which i actually found very interesting. I'll probably pick up Edge's book, if only because he wrote it himself, but i probably won't get it until it hits paperback, like Edge predicted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest seth86 Report post Posted November 11, 2004 I read the book but it isn't that great. I wouldn't call it bad though. The first parts of the book is pretty good. Once he starts talking bout his WWE debut and E&C I got kinda bored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Miss Indy Queen Report post Posted November 11, 2004 Has anyone read Lita's book? I have not met one person yet who has read it. *raises hand* Yes I've read the book. It was better than what I expected and it almost comes across that WWE didn't bother to read the book b/c she's very vocal on how she feels. It does come across "real" but it's still not up there with the better books out there. As for Edge's book, I read that one also. I really liked the book when he talks about growing up with his mother and getting into wrestling, but once he talks about WWE, it comes across like there was nothing storyline or otherwise he objected to, and praises WWE for everything. That's the only thing that brought down the book as a whole to me. Also if you've read his commentaries when he was injured, in the book, he retells all the stories and it felt like, "ok you've told these stories already", so most of that stuff you will have already heard b/c it's just rehashing the same commentaries all over again.

Agreed, it's amazing what Kurt Angle had to go through to win the gold medal. His training, I doubt any normal human could do. Kurt Angle is a machine.

thuganomics 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2004 Edge's book was good, although I agree with a previous writer that he reiterates his web columns a little too often for my liking. I find it interesting that he and Christian have been best friends with TNA's Sinn since high school though. There's a story no one has mentioned before. I've also read Lita's book, though I didn't buy it. Other than finding out she was a former stripper and actually getting a picture of the "punk" tattoo on her inner lip, it doesn't really tell me anything I didn't already know. It's kinda brutal towards some WWE storylines though, which makes it an oddball in the current set of "WWE is beautiful" books released by them of late.

I hated Angle's book, it was terribly ghost-written and skips over some really interesting parts of his life. Like the rape accusation during his College years, which is covered in about three lines, if he had written it ala Foley or had a more in-depth role in the book I'm sure it would of been great, but it seemed like a detached biography of some guy the writer had met once over lunch than anything special.

I'm surprised that Edge's book isn't ghost-written - he seems exactly the type of wrestler who would have his done that way. I'll probably pick it up too because of this. It's always much more intimate and fun when you know you're getting the story first-hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pariah Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Thanks, I thought it was, couldn't be certain I may have to pick up Edge's book when it comes out over here, I still need to get Flair's first though And Mole, while I read SK's rants, 'Tonight... In this very ring' is an awful book, so poorly written. I don't hold out much hope for his new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheesalaIsGood 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 Has anyone read Lita's book? I have not met one person yet who has read it. I read her book. Nothing special really. She spills a lilttle bit of dirt, as she REALLY didn't like Miss Kitty, but other wise its just a straight coming of age type story. Oh, and I get the impression she really liked her dog.

Basically, he and his girlfriend were caught messing around in a sleeping bag in the outdoors, and even though Rock was sixteen or seventeen at the time, he looked to be in his late twenties and almost got arrested.
