When I first heard that Jon Moxley, celebrated death match wrestler and certified ass kicker, was working on an autobiography, my first reaction was "YES!" This is a guy who has plenty of stories to tell, and after reading it, I can confirm that this dude has some stories to tell. I enjoyed that it was a nonlinear experience, instead of just standard chapters. And his choice of stories to tell were very entertaining as well. My favorite stories were the night he wrestled in the G1, the night he debuted in AEW, his mindset heading into his WWE exit, and his feud with William Regal. I definitely recommend it to pro wrestling fans, but I also recommend it to anyone who just loves a good bit of tales.

Mick Foley certainly has a way with words. Not once while reading his 1st book did I think that he had a ghost writer next to him, writing their own version of what he was saying. No, this was 100% authentic Mick Foley. It was an amazing read, starting from his early childhood all the way up to when he won his 1st WWF Championship in December of 1998. The many stories he tells here are both hilarious and fascinating. From the songs about penises he would sing in high school, to the original Dude Love home movie, to his initial days training, to his very interesting trips to Nigeria, to the time he purposely tried to end his career in WCW, to his incredible promos in ECW, to his retelling of the King of the Death Match tournament, to his POV of the Montreal Screwjob, and of course, the retelling of the story of his legendary Hell in a Cell Match - I was enthralled. I also appreciated that he took the time to talk candidly about Owen Hart, since he had passed away around the time this book was written. And you can just tell this book came from the 90s, because a lot of this sounds dated in the best possible way. A very good read about one of pro wrestling's all time greatest.
