Chris Jericho worked his way into the big time of wrestling after training in Canada. He had his first pro fight at just 19, but it wasn't until he was 25 that he made the big time, joining the WCW. Within a year he had won his first title. Finally, in August 1999 he moved to the WWF (now WWE) where he would eventually become one of the biggest names on their books, and become the undisputed Heavyweight Champion. In this fascinating account, he relives his early days in the sport in Mexico and Japan, and working his way up alongside Chris Benoit and Lance Storm. He also recalls his rivalries with The Rock, Steve Austin and Triple H among others. He retired from the sport in August 2005, but there have been many rumours since then of a comeback. A Lion's Tale is as honest, outspoken and direct as the man himself.

I saw this book adverted on the internet, and I am a HUGE fan of the WWE, so I thought I read it. I wasn't dissapointed. It just doesn't talk about his WWE days, but his days in WCW and Japan too. He wrote a very funny, well structured book, and I well recomended it to any of Chris Jericho's or WWE fans.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars loved it

WWE luminary Chris Jericho tells the story of his vivacious life, from the days of being a rebellious teenager listening to rock and roll to when he joins Stu Hart's infamous wrestling dungeon. He follows in the steps of his idols fighting the independent wrestling circuit and makes a name for himself in Mexico and Japan. He reaches his peak when joining the WWF in 1999 and becoming their Undisputed World Champion December 2001. This is a great and amusing read for most audiences; Jericho pulls no punches and has an entertaining sense of humour to go with it.
