OK today he is a parody of himself and best-known as the colour commentator on WWE broadcasts with a penchant for 'puppies', but Jerry 'The King' Lawler is far more than that.
This autobiography is a nice little homage to the man who we all know and love in the WWE. With a career of over 30 years in the business Lawler has done it all in the ring. He co-owned his own operation the USWA, had feuds with nearly all of the wrestling world's big names and lamost always played the face.
Jerry is a remnant of the hard knocks school of wrestling, he often bled for his cause, took serious beatings and sold-out most venues he performed in.
This book looks back at his matches with Terry Funk, Ric Flair, Jackie Fargo, Lou Thesz, Jeff Jarrett, Jesse Ventura, Andre The Giant and more modern performers such as The Undertaker, Bret Hart and The Rock.
Lawler has done it all and yet somehow his legend has laid low, did you he has never took part in a wrestlemania match!.
There are some nice bits of trivia included here, its nice to see 'The King' treated with the respect he deserves too.
