Did anyone read this sucker yet? Any good? Is it worth the order?

He posted some section of it once and it looked like a good read. I never ordered it but I'm sure it's pretty interesting.

I won a free copy for winning the Survivor Series prediction contest last year. It's a really good book, even if you aren't that interested in the indy wrestling scene. You get to see what a jackass Dale Gagne(who is NOT related to Verne Gagne) is and how some indy fed owners will be do dishonest things like advertising big name wrestlers while having no intention to bring them in.

It's also nice to read the wrestling scripts that he sent to WWE(of which large amounts ended up being used without JV getting credit).
Visit and shop for video games at my Amazon-based store, also get discounted HD DVDs while they last.

I really, really like the chapter on unusual sexual positions. They don't call Jimmy flexy for nothing.

I also have a copy.

I thought it was worth the read. It had kind of a Mick Foley "Have a Nice Day" feel to it.

The storylines are also a great read.

Or you could just turn on Monday Night Raw.

It's about time......now bring on his next fued....

I read it. It's a good book. You're not going to find out any real shocking information, but it's interesting to read about some of the backstage tactics and the frustrations of being a indy promoter. Many of the troubles he came across you'll see in any startup business, but it's interesting none-the-less.

I prefer his first book "My Life in Latex"

It's actually not about wrestling
