The best were, of course, Foley's. The worst had to be Hogan's. It wasn't necessarily bad, per se, it was just mediocre. It lacked the attitude of Piper's book, the cheerful exuberance of Lawler's, and most importantly it lacked the humor and warmth of Foley's books. All it really has is Hogan, and as Santa with Muscles has taught us, that sometimes ain't enough.



I was reading parts of it again last night, and I thought it was a little better than mediocre. Lots of the anecdotes and travel stories were funny as Hell, as was the chapter about his training, but the best parts of the book involved describing working with all the non-wrestling celelbrities over the years. The Mr. T and Dennis Rodman sections in particular were pretty entertaining.

I agree that it wasn't as good as the other books I've read(I haven't read Angle or the Rock's because I don't think they've been around long enough to have too much to say). I wouldn't call it a "fluff" piece, but it wasn't entirely honest. There are a million things that Hogan glosses over throughout the WCW years, or doesn't mention at all--it would've been nice if someone tried explaining the thought process behind the Fingerpoke of Doom. He also almost never even mentions Randy Savage, despite the fact that they made each other more famous in the late '80s.

And that's terrible.
