Moderators PowerButchi Posted July 7, 2010 Moderators Posted July 7, 2010 Everybody should read Harley Race's book. Especially you Butch. I wasn't aware there was one! Rest assured that'll be going on the credit card. Quote
seasider Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Any recommendations for MMA fighters books? As previously mentioned Jens Pulver's "Little Evil" book - depresing, but a must read. more about pre MMA than MMA however you will have a new found respect for the man. Quote
The Reverend Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 I bought Dutch Mantell's book, came the other day but when I tried to read it all the pages started falling out. I've got a replacement coming, so hopefully it won't be the same. Book seems decent enough but more a series of stories or topics than an autobiography. I'd definitely recommend Dutch's book. Although, like you say it's not strictly an autobiography, it is fun with some amazing anecdotes and stories. I believe he's got another one in the pipeline. Quote

Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I've just read the new Goldust one and TBH the very best thing I can say about it is it's OK I couldn't honestly say it's good but it's not the worse one out there. I'm glad I got the paper back one and only spent Quote

Paid Members Vipes Posted February 5, 2011 Paid Members Posted February 5, 2011 Having just completed it I highly recommend J. J. Dillon's book. The stories in it are great and it gives a really good insight into Vince McMahon. Quote
Teq Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 This is the one of the best wrestling books I've ever read, certainly the best non-autobiography. There's a lot of books on Stampede considering it was never a particularly well-reknowned territory at the time it was running, I don't think the Apter mags even acknowledged it until it's rebirth in the late 80s. I wish there were books as comprehensive as this one about some of the other territories. THIS. It's glorious. One of the top wrestling books out there. Quote

Richie Freebird Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I actually thought Dibiase's book was fairly bland Richie. The only good bits being when he was winding down his wrestling career. Not enough depth to his actual WWF days, and generally quite a lazy effort. I was generally surprised by Batista's book, it was a decent read. Can Quote
The Reverend Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Any recommendations for MMA fighters books? May be drifting a bit from the topic here, but on the subject of books relating to the martial arts; Quote
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 5, 2011 Paid Members Posted February 5, 2011 Anyone read Tito Ortiz's book? Bought it in a charity shop for 50p yesterday. Any good? Quote
