Description
Whether he's administering a double knee face breaker (a.k.a. The Codebreaker) or telling the story of some of his favorite matches, you can't ignore Chris Jericho. The controversial former WWE intercontinental champion obviously enjoys being the center of attention and in this standalone sequel to his popular A Lion's Tale, he proves it by not sparing himself as he talks about the steep learning curve of his early career and his most humiliating moments. He's also exceptionally candid about wrestling tricks of the trade and the hidden hierarchy of "the office." One of the most entertaining wrestling books that has ever come our way.
Review
An entertaining follow-up to their popular book A Lion's Tale, international wresting superstar Jericho and co-writer Fornatale continue their chronicle of Jericho's wild ride through the wacky world of professional wrestling. This book picks up where the earlier book ended-with Jericho in 1999 joining Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Enterprise, the most important venue in wresting-and ends with Jericho's return to the ring in 2007 after a two-year retirement. Jericho hilariously details these key years as WWE's resident bad guy. His feuds with WWE's colorful (and colorfully profane) cast, including the likes of X-Pac, Ken Shamrock, Chyna, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, and Christian, are solidly recounted, although most of this will be old news to hardcore WWE fans. But the most interesting stories involve his battles on- and off-stage with such better-known stars as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Goldberg-whom Jericho once had run over by a limousine during an episode of WWE's Raw series. It is here that Jericho shines and proves once again that, next to Mick Foley, he is an insightful and funny observer of pro wrestling's absurd universe.Publishers Weekly

When it comes to Professional Wrestling, mainstream media focus on the negatives. Drugs, death and injuries, if a wrestling dyes of steroids, they drive that story into the ground and even begin ridiculing pro-wrestling as a whole. In fact, if you think of the last mainstream wrestling news story you heard. I can almost guarantee it was something bad. You never hear about the good side of wrestling. The side that shows hard work, love, dedication and the upbringing stories when professional wrestlers make their lifelong dreams come true.
Chris Jericho's first book, A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex is one of the most influential success stories I've ever heard. With hardly any money and just a childhood dream, Chris Jericho embarked on a long, hard and sometimes heartbreaking journey around the world to make it in the crazy world of Professional Wrestling. But no matter what's thrown at him, Jericho stays a very positive and optimistic person; he's never bitter; he stays hopeful and works harder to reach his dream.
Even people that don't like wrestling should pick up his next book. Chris Jericho is extremely funny, relatable and tells stories with unique humour. If he's as charming as he was in his first book. I can guarantee that Chris Jericho's Undisputed: How to Become the World Champion in 1,372 Easy Steps will be a highly entertaining read.
