So I really love wrestling books, which is kinda weird because I am not a huge reader outside of them  . I need some ideas for the next one I am gonna read. I have read: Rey Mysterio: Behind the Mask Both Jericho Books Batista Unleashed Shawn Michaels Heartbreak and Triumph Eddie Guerrero: Cheating Death and Stealing Life plus many I can't even remember. Which ones would you guys recommend? And which ones have you read? |

^ This. But it all depends on when you started watching wrestling. Hart's book covers from the 60s to the 90s, with only a few mentions of the WWF/E.

The first 2 Mick Foley books are great. I enjoy all of his but from a wrestling stand point, go with the first two.

Pure Dynamite if you want something negative...Regal's book is heavy too.
All of Greg Olivers Hall of Fame books are really strong- The Canadian, The Heels, The Tag Teams.
Beer, Blood and Cornmeal - awesome book about the San Fran indy scene and the pressures of a head booker.
Meltzers "Tributes" 1&2 and the Topp 100 Pro Wrestlers are good coffee table books.
Arn Andersons if you can get your hands on it.
Wrestling at the Chase- excellent Mushnick's book aout St.Louis

Blassie's, Flair's, Dusty's, and The Death of Wcw are all good.

Bret Hart's. Roddy Pipper's, Flair's, Foley's first 2 books. Hell even the Jerry Lawler's is pretty funny.
As far as books about the history of the wrestling business:
National Wrestling Alliance: The Untold Story of the Monopoly that Strangled Pro Wrestling is a good read
So is Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling
