Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted July 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 Rise and fall of ECW is decent, but i prefer Turning the tables as an ECW read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbafish Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Is there any biog that gives a real view of what it was like was a gaijin in Japan? Brets book touches on it, I was disappointed with the Foley books in this regard and not read the Jericho book yet. I see Kirschner has done a biography recentley. Anyone read that? And more to the point, would you recommend it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Up Chuck Posted July 29, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Jericho's bits on Japan are pretty good. Nothing revelationary, but you get a good sense of the culture shock and how the structure of the companies worked. However, he does persistently use the word "Japanglish" instead of the more widely-accepted "Engrish", which irritated me loads and nobody else at all, probably. Â His stuff about Mexico is pretty good, too. And Germany. It's probably my favourite WWE autobiography. I really liked his second too, but the first only goes up to his WWE debut so you end up with this amazing international cast of characters and a huge variety of settings. Plus, you have the added hilarity of him ever-so-slightly misremembering WCW promos that are easily available on the internet (again, that's probably just me).
