The two-time bestselling author, wrestler and metal rocker returns
with another insightful and hilarious memoir. Inspired by Anton
Chigurh, Javier Bardem's character in No Country for Old Men, Chris
Jericho decided to put down his guitar, ease off on the red-carpet
appearances in Hollywood and return to ring. What followed were the
best three years of his wrestling career. A trilogy that began with
A LION'S TALE and was followed by the bestselling UNDISPUTED now
concludes with a behind-the-scenes account of Jericho becoming WON
WRESTLER OF THE YEAR for two consecutive years in 2008 and 2009.
The book also features the final word on Jericho's feuds with Shawn
Michaels and Rey Mysterio, his run-in with Mickey Rourke, life
hanging out with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Mike Tyson and Lars
Ulrich, and the resurrection of his band Fozzy, which saw them play
to huge audiences in the UK and Europe and support Metallica.
