Ok. Tomorrow night at the Orlando virgin Mega store, the one and only Chris Jericho is holding a book signing. Well, today, at that same exact Mega store, they sold his book, and whoever bought it received a wristband to be guaranteed to meet Jericho tomorrow. Well I got home from school, and low and behold, what is sitting on my kitchen counter, but this: Yup, was just sitting there in a Virgin Mega store bag with an orange wristband. So tomorrow night, I will be meeting Chris Jericho. I will be updating this thread with pictures and **** from tomorrow. And so far out of the book, I have read the Author's Note, which I would like to share with you, because I found it very interesting: "I started working on this book in august of 2005 and finished it in May of 2007. It was a long process of labor of love, and when the final manuscript was handed in I was convinced that it was exactly the way I wanted it to be.
The book was typeset and put into gallery form(industry talk for pretty much finished, with no more changes allowed), and that was to be it.
But a horrible additional chapter unfolded.
One of the main characters in this book is Chris Benoit. He was a huge influence on my career and on my life, and he is a very important part of this story.
The majority of the events within this book focused on my life from 1990-1999. The Chris Benoit in this book is the one I knew within that same time frame. The man that I knew and loved exists within these pages, not the man that existed during the final days of his life.
Due to the tremendous understanding of the people at Grand Central Publishing, I was allowed to break the rules. I was able to make a few changes to the book and to write this message, and I thank them for that.
I just wish to God that I didn't have to, and I pray for the souls of the departed.
CJ"

I wasn't there when my step dad and bro bought them, bit on the inside cover, it says $25.99 so that's my guess. I heard it's worth it though, as the book is getting phenomenal reviews. I will probably start reading it tonight.

I finished it in 2 days. Best wrestling book I've read. Even better than Foley's first one.
And I hate to ruin the ending for you, but he signs with WWF at the end.

I got my copy on Sunday, and I'm just about done now. Only a very small portion to go. It is a phenominal book, and well worth the price.
You're incredibly lucky to get to meet him. I'm insanely jealous.

I figured it was, but I wanted to share it will everyone on this board that hasn't seen it yet. It's really amazing just to see, how he kept his respect for the man, even through everything that happened. Thanks for all the replies guys, I will be updating this thread tomorrow with pics from the signing.

See I would, but I really don't wanna bother him about that crap, because he probably has been bombarded with that crap from fans and media alike since it started, and I don't really wanna ask him. Besides, he probably will just told me, we will have to wait and see or something along those lines. However, I was planning on asking him if the Man of 1004 Holds has learned any new ones lately, and hopefully get this answer, "ARMBAR!" ;D
