Just about any wrestling bio is worth reading once. This isn’t terrible but really what does Missy have to say that you truly care about.

I have always been a fan of the character of Missy Hyatt so was very interested in hearing her story in professional wrestling. This book, while fairly short, is a very good account of the wild ride of Missy's career. I have to give Missy credit, she doesn't pull any punchs, even if what she's telling isn't that flattering to herself either. And you won't believe the number of guys that are still wrestling today that Missy has been romantically involved with. This book is funny and entertaining and if you were a fan of the old NWA, it's really worth checking out. (originally posted on Amazon.com)

Missy Hyatt was a well known character from Pro Wrestling in the early 90's. She was someone who worked on the indies, had a stint in WWF, then made her name in WCW before winding down her career in ECW.
Since she wrote this book she's gone on to do adult movies.
That sort of sets the tone to what to expect from this book. At times it's an intriguing look at a young woman's career in the male dominated world of Pro Wrestling. At other times, it's just a woman chronologically listing the male wrestlers she's slept with. I guess it's supposed to be salacious or honest, but the accounts of her conquests often come off as vindictive or petty.
The book itself contained a number of typos, which was a shame.
Despite all of that, I enjoyed the book, and Missy's journey from teenage fan to Wrestling pin-up.
If you're a Pro Wrestling fan from the 1990s then you'll enjoy this insight into the time and Missy comes across as a likeable figure.

Reading this was just like talking to Missy on the phone, and that's not saying much. There was so much she could have written about and so little she did. Dumb and full of gaps, kind of like her,

Fun read from someone who lived through the old glory days of Professional Wrestling. Missy has some great stories to tell but some of the should be taken with a grain of salt. She could tell a tall tale with the best of them.

As a long time wrestling fans whose favorite promotions included World Class and Watts UWF I enjoyed Missy’s story and her life throughout wrestling. Told from Missy’s point of view it is a nice chronicle of her wrestling career.
