Chris Jericho's Undisputed Book

Hello Readers, 


It has taken me awhile, but I have finally finished 'Chris Jericho's Undisputed, How to become the World Champion in 1,372 steps.' 


The book follows Chris Jericho's life in both the Wrestling world and his time out with his family as well as his band Fozzy. I couldn't really come up with a Blurb that did this book justice myself so I copied the one from Amazon. (Blurb From Amazon) The eagerly awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling A Lion's Tale documents Chris Jericho's meteoric rise to wrestling glory in the WWE.

A Lion's Tale gave readers a portrait of Jericho as a young man. Fighting his way through Mexico, rinky-dink leagues and a battery of thieving, sleazy promoters/managers, the book ended with the author's WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) debut. Never one to leave his fans hanging, as demonstrated by his recent return to wrestling glory, Jericho now tells the story of life in the big leagues. But "making it" in the premier wrestling league in the world comes with its own set of obstacles and hard lessons. Jericho, in his witty, hilarious, and surprisingly endearing manner, lays it all out: the good, the bad, and the spandex.

My rating of this book is 5/5 I have to say from start to finish Chris had me laughing, turning pages quickly and unable to believe that some things had happened to him the way they did. I started reading this book from the recommendation from Shane Helms, who is known as the 'Hurricane' and who was mention back and forth through the book. 

From Fozzy moments to the WWE twist and turns this book didn't just earn its stripes for the Wrestling fans, its has in my eyes earned its stripes with the music enthusiastics too. Chris Jericho never misses a beat from start to finish. 

Compared to some of the Wrestling Autobiographies I have read I have to say it bypasses every single one of them. Chris Jericho leaves you feeling that he is telling the story to you personally and he has a real writers voice within him.  He became an author within my mind after reading this wonderful book. I have to say that Chris Jericho defiantly has what it takes to become a bestselling author with more than just stories of his life. He has the writers gift and I tip my hat to him. 

So all round the humour, the lay out and even the witty Author notes have your eyes scanning for more. He never gets boring through the book and he has even made me shed a tear during a few of his sadder chapter. My recommendation to all that read my blog is to go and get yourself a copy of 'Chris Jericho's Undisputed How to become the World Champion in 1,372 steps'. He could be one of the minds that could take the Writing world by storm, like he has done with the Wrestling world and the music world. Chris Jericho has a huge future ahead of him and I hope to see more from him in the Writing world.
