Last night I ordered my first three wrestling books. I didn't read any specific reviews or anything, but from what I read they're supposed to be good. Feel free to comment on them if you've read them.
Chris Jericho's Undisputed - I know that this is a follow up to A Lions Tale, but I wanted to read his biography after his WWE-debut. That's why I chose this one.
Bret Hart's Hitman
Mick Foley's Have a Nice Day
If you have any suggestions, or just want to discuss wrestling books, then I guess this is the thread.

I've only read the Foley book out of those three. Though I do want to read the other two as well.
The Foley book is awesome. I would also suggest his second book Foley is Good. I've read those two books more than once.

Jericho's book "Undisputed" is amazing. Got it for christmas, read it in two days.
His sense of humor is amazing, and I love his writing style. Makes for such an easy and enjoyable read.

Bret's book is one of my favorite books of all time, not just wrestling related.
Jericho's and Foley's are pretty awesome as well.
You should be entertained.

Bret's book IS the best book I've ever read. It's completely captivating and well written. I've often found myself starting to read it at about 11:00pm, then looking at the clock and suddenly it's gone 2:00am.
I haven't read Foley's or Jericho's yet but they're on my list.

Jericho's books are the two best wrestling books I've ever read.

The only wrestling autobiography I recall reading was Kurt Angle's back in elementary school. I enjoyed the book and found it to be a good read. I believe the book ended around the time he won the WWF Title from The Rock at No Mercy. In recent months, I've bought Chris Jericho's Undisputed at Walmart and bought Foley is Good, Are we There Yet?, The Rock Says..., and Heartbreak and Triumph at a place called Book Off. I haven't gotten the chance to read the books, but I'm waiting to get Jericho's and Foley's first books.

Foley's first book is the best wrestling book ever written, for my money. Bret's is really good too, if you can get past how much he strokes his own ego in it. I liked Jericho's first book more than his second, but they're both incredible reads. You've chosen well!

I read both of Jericho's books and Bret Harts book. Both excellent reads. I also read Eric Bishcoff's book. It was pretty interesting to see the disfunction that occurred at the end of wcw. A lot of politics and egos. Besides Mick Foley's book ( which I plan on reading) that are worth reading?

As far as WWE published books - "The Million Dollar Man" by Ted DiBiase (Sr.). He covered his childhood growing up in the business, his career, transitioning away from the business, and becoming a preacher. Even if you were a fan of his, you gain even more respect for him after you finish the book.

Those three are gold. Probably the best three wrestling books I've read.

Ric Flair's To Be The Man was one of my favorites. Others I've read are If They Only Knew, all of Foley's books and Shawn Michaels book which was also amazing.
