Instead, Jericho recounts the fascinating story of his early years-in effect, a short history of world wrestling trends since 1960-from his brutal early training in his native Canada through finally being invited to join the WWE. Jericho ignores or glosses over controversial topics like steroid use, preferring to keep things light and cheery. His hilarious and detailed descriptions of his many bouts, especially his 1995 calling card match in Japan before 10,000 fans, will leave readers hoping for a sequel. \u003ci\u003e(Oct. 25)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCopyright 2007 Reed Business Information\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSports \u0026amp; Outdoors\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual Sports\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eWrestling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":46670656372926,"sku":"044669861X-4","price":1.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51VHItc95OL._SL500.jpg?v=1776880496","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/044669861x","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
