The Best at What He Does

The sharp wit of Chris Jericho returns with a second book in Undisputed: How to Become the World Champion in 1,372 Easy Steps.  The full title is a reference to the number of matches it took for him to become the first undisputed champion in WWE history, yet the road there isn't all gold, as Jericho writes.

The second autobiography picks up where the WWE debut in 1999 left off and covers a lot of ground between that point and his return to the WWE in 2007.  Just like his first book A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex, Jericho's wit and ability to make the reader laugh, cry, and anything else he commands is evident.  The book picks through things such as his early run in the WWE and struggling to find an identity, and the time away from WWE for a couple of years.  Jericho goes into great detail about some of the most important things in his life, such as being on the ice with his father for a celebrity hockey game, being undisputed champion and finding out that staying on top is much harder than getting there, and his tours with his band Fozzy.  Getting through parts of the book (i.e. Chris Benoit) was a difficult task, but you certainly get the idea that it was equally difficult for Jericho to talk about some of those same parts, and that's what separates him from most wrestling autobiographies: the ability to get the reader to see the events through his eyes.  A definite must read.
