A genuine story from a genuine person

Eric Perez is the most genuine person I know. This book follows his wrestling life. Definitely worth a reading from fans and regular everyday people.

A man's passion of the squared circle

My first take after listening to the audiobook? Perez's passion for professional wrestling is off the charts. He is proud of being an early trailer blazer for intergender matches, highlighted by facing Alissa Flash (Cheerleader Melissa).

Along his journey, the undersized grappler crossed paths with the likes of Marty Jannetty, Rikishi and his stinkface, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Jerry "The King" Lawler, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, and the Dudley Boys. He is open about his WWE experiences, including a missed opportunity. Perez takes a look at the recent trends in wrestling, and how the industry has changed, and shares his personal wrestling stories.

everything

what I dislike is that, for me, the only thing that is holding me back from being a pro wrestler is money. I have no one to help me out. other than that, it's a great read and I am determined to pursue my dream of being a pro wrestler.
