So I finally joined the 21st century and got a Kindle. Would really appreciate some recommendations for good books on the squared circle & those who have graced it.

Have only read Foley's first two. Heard Bret's was good and Jericho's maybe (even though I can't fucking stand the guy now...)? At least the first one then I've heard mixed things about his others iirc.

Thanks in advance👍

Gary Hart's book

Bret's

Jericho's first book

Also, if you want to read some crazy shit that who knows if it's all true...Under The Mat
 
Nice lots of great suggestions and had no idea most of these even existed. Many thanks again. I'll post a complete compiled list later when I'm not on my phone in case anyone is in a similar situation as myself.

One other question, anyone read Foley's last two books? Worth it?

Oh and saw Jericho's first book recommended earlier, is it true what I've heard that his others aren't so hot?
 
Loved Foleys first (Have a nice day...)
Bret Harts autobiography

Haven't tried many others, do enjoy the behind the scenes type of stuff.
 
Others have mentioned some good ones but I'll throw this one out there:

Broken harts by Owens widow is a decent book. Hearing the details of his death and aftermath with the lawsuit is pretty wild. Also learn how freaking crappy some of the Harts are.

Also, for shits and gigs hulk Hogan "my life outside the ring" is a fun read. He has a lot of random lies lol but I was entertained.
