Chris Jericho opens the curtain on professional wrestling's inner workings and his bumbling attempts to break into Hollywood. He chronicles his legendary feuds with wrestling superstars like The Rock, Steve Austin, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and John Cena while exposing the political maneuvering that happens away from the cameras. Between matches, Jericho stumbles through disastrous movie auditions, failed reality television projects, and cringe-worthy red carpet interviews. His path crosses with celebrities from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Axl Rose to Wayne Gretzky, Paul McCartney, and Howard Stern, leading to absurd encounters that highlight his gift for self-deprecating comedy. Jericho writes with the same irreverent humor that made him a fan favorite, turning his professional struggles and personal embarrassments into entertainment. This sequel to his earlier memoir captures the ridiculous reality of life as both a wrestling star and Hollywood wannabe.
