Just got this book on sunday night...cant put it down...im 2/3rds done it now and it is really amazing. Jericho has to be one of the funniest people in showbiz. The whole book he has a new name for his ROOSTER and at one point refers to it as his Dustin Diamond. He also says Ricockulous the whole book whenever he is supposed to say Ridiculous. He has various great stories especially ones about other wrestlers which are really funny...He also refers to himself as Uncle Jericho a few times when he is handing out advice to us young guys. If you like wrestling and Chris Jericho you have to get this book...being a jerichoholic since his days in ECdub this book was a must buy...

5 out of 5

Yeah I've been hearing its the best wrestling book since Mick Foley's.
I never read of any of them but I do know Mick gets a lot of praise for his books so thats a big accomplishment for Jericho.

Now lets hope when he finally comes back to WWE, it wont be a bust.

I put this book on my "wish list" for Demi, so maybe I'll get it for Christmas. I haven't read any of the wrestling books before, but Jericho is one of my all time favorites, and he always seems so down to earth (and smart) in real life, so I'm sure his book had to be good.

Yeah dude definately get it...

"Eric told me they were going to give me the Cruiserweight Title in WCW. Great. Being a cruiserweight in wcw was like having leprosy. No one wanted to touch you, and now i was going to be the champion. The title meant nothing to WCW i think at one point you could order the title from JC Penny and be crowned champion."

So fuckin funny dude.

How long is the book? I usually wouldn't buy a wrestler bio but that sounds pretty funny.

I've had this book since last Christmas but I would only read it here and there. I read probably half of it over the last three days though and I finished tonight. If you're a wrestling fan or Jericho fan, I don't know what you're waiting for by not reading this.

I found the last few chapters to be the most interesting, as I became a fan of Jericho during his WCW days, and those last few are all about how terrible WCW really was. The whole thing with him and Goldberg was pretty ridiculous, I remember that whole angle being dropped by not really understanding why.

Also, there are several paragraphs devoted to Ralphus. HAHAHAHH. Anyway, good stuff.

Speaking of which, is Jericho coming back or already back in the WWE? Haven't watched it in ages, but I'd check it out to see what he's up to these days. I just watched some classic Ralphus stuff on YouTube.

Yeah, Jericho is back. He's actually the champion on Raw now. Had some pretty good matches against Shawn Michaels. He's a heel again too. But, he's still pretty fun to watch.

yeah Jericho came back earlier this year. He was a good guy because everyone loved seeing him again then they slowly turned him bad. He punched Shawn Michaels' wife in the face a couple months ago and had a huge feud with him. They had some good matches. He's got the World Heavyweight Championship on RAW right now so he's one of their top dudes. He's a little more serious these days and doesnt do the ridiculous stuff he used to (crazy hair, sparkly shirt, calling people names).

yeah he is the champ now he recently got his tooth knocked out in a ladder match but got it fixed a few weeks later...This book is probably one of my favorite books i've ever read...it actually made me laugh (LOL) while reading. He is working on a follow up book about his arrival in WW(F)E and more on his life and having kids now and stuff like that its supposed to be out next fall.

Heres a video of his return 11 months ago...

LOL at the King "We witnessed the code for weeks, it was the Jericode!!" hahahaha.

Figures that Jericho would go back to being a heel, in the book he says over and over again how he loves being a heel the most, and I don't blame him. He's so good at it. Watching this right after reading the book makes me feel proud for him. Where is Greenburg now? No where.

Wow, 11 months.
I said 'earlier this year' in my post above. I could have sworn he's only been around since like January at the latest but I guess not.
