Description
"Entertaining . . .an insightful and funny observer of pro wrestling's universe." -- Publishers Weekly
In this insightful, riveting book, Jericho takes us into WWE wrestling arenas around the world as he details his classic rivalries with The Rock, Steve Austin, HHH, Shawn Michaels, and John Cena, along with all the politics and backstage machinations he faced outside the ring. Chris recounts his hilarious escapades of breaking in with the Hollywood elite via doomed auditions, short-lived reality shows, made-for-television movies, and red-carpet interviewing fiascos.
Jam packed with CJ's trademark self-effacing humor, one-of-a-kind writing style, and ridiculous random encounters with everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger, Axl Rose, and Wayne Gretzky to Paul McCartney, and Howard Stern, Undisputed is one of a rare breed-a sequel that might be better than the original.

5By john2406336This book blended Jericho's wwe and fozzy careers seemlessly. While I had little interest about his band as I began reading, I found the stories quite interesting. I read through those chapters with the same speed and interest as the wrestling chapters. Jericho's over confidence and attitude can be off putting at times. As I read his frustration at wrestling on Sunday Night Heat for several months, not being booked on an isolated ppv, contract perks involving first class air fare, and high dollar contracts-I had trouble sympathizing with him after reading Hardcore Holly's 15 year mid-card battle without winning a major title and being relegated as a talent to put over the rising stars. Yes, Jericho is an excellent performer but his drive to be the best saw him putting 'the show must go on' mentality above certain life events that I simply had trouble relating to- despite that, I enjoyed his honesty and him being comfortable enough to tell the stories he did.Awesome read

4By WrestlingramAny wrestling fan will enjoyThe Best in the world at what he does
5By HolyJoseReading Undisputed to the part where I started watching wrestling I could see Vince had great pride in Jericho and wanted to make him the best he could. Jericho did a great job proving why he is the best in what he does. Reading about how Fozzy started and now I know why they tour Europe so much. Overall Jericho did a great job writing his memoirs and I cried when he talked about Eddie and Benoit. I can not wait for the follow up.Y2j
