Paid Members Supremo Posted November 2, 2021 Paid Members Posted November 2, 2021 Moxley promoting his book on Observer Radio is phenomenal. I’ve only listened to the first twenty minutes so far, which is mostly just him complaining about moving house, but it’s wildly entertaining. I’m more convinced than ever that what we see on AEW TV is just his real life personality amplified. I could completely believe that after hanging up on that call he went and murdered someone before storming back home, pushing over any fans in his way. I can’t wait to read it. Quote
Paid Members quote the raven Posted November 2, 2021 Paid Members Posted November 2, 2021 O that looks like an amusing read indeed. Added to the xmas list. I cant wait to read his take on this Quote
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted November 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted November 8, 2021 I picked up Mox's book. Enjoying it so far despite the format being a bit all over the place. It's like a series of pretty well written Facebook posts so far. It's all over, it's not formatted like any biog I've read. On the bright side, there's no debate about whether he wrote it himself.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted November 8, 2021 I wasn't a huge fan. I get what he was going for with it but would have preferred a straight autobiography rather than jumping about and mad ramblings. I think the chapter on The Shield is the only one that felt like genuine good writing rather than a blog post. Quote
Paid Members DCW Posted November 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Was going to pay for the hardcover & was really looking forward to reading it. But after reading bits online & hearing its (disappointingly) random blog post like in format, I nicked it off Z Library instead. Edited November 8, 2021 by DCW Quote

I'll judge it when I've finished but I'll take most spins on the autobiography format which I'm bored to shit of. The last few I've picked up, I could barely get through the "my tedious childhood and adolescence" chapters. Quote
69MeDon Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Has anyone here ever read any of Scott Teal's various wrestling history books or any of the books he's written with people like Ole Anderson and Don Fargo? Are they good? Quote

Are they good? They're generally pretty good as he does a great job of keeping it in the voice of the subject, but making sure it flows well and is historically accurate (or at least you can tell the difference between the facts and the guy's opinion/interpretation.) A few that I've reviewed:https://prowrestlingbooks.com/inside-out-by-ole-anderson/ https://prowrestlingbooks.com/too-much-too-soon-by-tony-atlas/ https://prowrestlingbooks.com/wrestling-with-the-truth-by-bruno-lauer/ https://prowrestlingbooks.com/soulman-by-rocky-johnson-scott-teal/ https://prowrestlingbooks.com/wrestlers-are-like-seagulls-by-jj-dillon/ Quote
CL Punk Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 Is Mox available over here as I just looked at Waterstones and Amazon to order it and they both have the release date listed as February 3rd now. Quote
Sphinx Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Does anyone know if there are any decent wrestling coffee table books? There's a ton of great wrestling photography out there and I'd like to have some in one place in physical form. Quote

Sphinx Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 For anyone who is interested in the above book, it's on sale for a fiver at Taschen now along with a load of other books. https://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/sex/all/45506/facts.exquisite_mayhem_the_spectacular_and_erotic_world_of_wrestling.htm Quote
Edgehead Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 I know it has "Erotic" in the title, but it really was a wrestling book that I really didn't know what to expect when I got it a year or so back. Some awesome pictures amongst some... ahem... well y'know. I love some of the Taschen books as they really do have awesome pictures. I have Horror Cinema, DC 75 Years, DC Golden Age, SNL, 1000 Record Covers, Circus 1870-1950s. All amazing. Quote
