Woooooooooooooooooo!,
By Leon "Leon" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ric Flair: To Be the Man (Hardcover)
The best wrestling book put out, period. No surprise given that Ric Flair's name was attached to it, it had to be the best. My only gripe was that it was too short--I wanted more.Lots of good inside stuff from the 70's and 80's, and the tragic sufferings of a man who was literally beaten down by one of the biggest clowns in wrestling, Eric Bischoff. Flair doesn't really pull any punches here, and it is intriguing to watch his relationships with Dusty and Hogan develop from one of idolization to a certain animosity (Dusty Rhodes), to a mutual respect to a portrayed hatred (Hulk Hogan). Flair clearly has his favorites: Harley Race, Wahoo, Steamboat, Windham, Sting and Arn--no surprise. He also identifies some folks who should not never have even bothered wrestling, Ultimate Warrior, Brutus Beefcake, to a lesser extent, Mick Foley. Gotta love the take on Shane Douglas as well. How's your book Shane? heh heh. What's great is Flair's respect for the guys who came before him, and the hard work that had to be put in for Flair to be the best. How many people today could live through Verne Gagne's training camps? If Flair hadn't partied so hard, we might be already looking at the next sports politician. Great story, but I just wish it was longer- Flair's stories are so good that you really wish the book would keep going. Fantastic read, you have to pick this up.

The Legend Speaks True.,

This review is from: Ric Flair: To Be the Man (Hardcover)
This is the most honest sports biography I've read to date. He gave this reader an insightful, entertaining, and sometimes sad look into both his life and the wrestling business. He is both respectful and critical of the business and some other wrestlers. But, gives logical reasons for being so. Flair is everything his harshest critics have rarely been, successful for over three decades. You can't make a good living in your chosen proffession for that long if the fans were not willing to pay to see you. Flair's talent made him a star, Hogan was a media creation.

Ric Flair is the Man,
By John "J-Cokes" (Illinois) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ric Flair: To Be the Man (Hardcover)
Ric Flair's book starts off great. He candidly discusses the details of his birth and family. He proceeds to relate the story of his pre-pro wrestling life with just about the right amount of detail to keep the reader interested.The story really gets interesting as Flair enters pro wrestling. Flair is perhaps the greatest pro wrestler ever. His combination of ring skills, interview skills and charisma is unsurpassed. Flair has seen it all and he tells us all about it in colorful detail. Flair gave everything to the sport and fans. He seemingly gives everything in this book. Flair reveals the good and bad of his career and life. It is unfortunate that events after this book cast some doubt on his family life, but that does not negate the value of this book. Flair is human and has his problems, but in the world of wrestling, Flair is the man. 2115|R2QECXCRSCFT47;2115|R1PRN2R0M9R1WH;2115|R1VD5ZCW8BMMLN;
