Brody is in my top three or four pro wrestling books, right up there with Pure Dynamite and the Terry Funk book. Lots of good road stories.

Decent book, dragged at times...after reading it, I'm still not sure why everyone thinks so much of this guy as a performer, and I've seen his matches....certainly not on the level of Andre or Taker as that kind of wrestler. Decent read, but not great.
