The Stone Cold Truth WWE Steve Austin JR Ross Dennis Brent Books

Steve Austin really seems to let folks into his inner circle in this book. The book feels like it's being told by Stone Cold himself as the language seems exactly like you'd expect him to talk. The prologue gives a hint into the soft underbelly of a man who seems to be unflappable. You get to see Steve Austin scared, nervous, etc.

The book tells the story from his early childhood, his failures, his successes, his wildness. His love of pro wrestling, his desire to become a part of it and the sham that was Chris Adams.

For so many wrestlers who came up before the new millennium, the story is one of failure in other sports and finding their way to pro-wrestling by chance. It's consistent with other stories of how the business chews people up and spits them out in the regional promotions and how all that went away one fateful Saturday.

Steve Austin was a man on a mission to succeed where so many others had failed. He speaks highly of many of the people he feuded with. You never know who makes really good friends in the world of pro wrestling. To find he was hand picked by some high level workers to be their big feud was interesting. To hear the resentment toward Owen Hart for an injury that plagued him the remainder of his career and was likely the result of shortening it was truly candid.

Steve Austin gives lots of credit to people along the way such as Brett Hart, Vince McMahon and Jim Ross. The last of whom really seems to have been his biggest proponent in the industry.

It's a gritty tale with pain and suffering. He talks about the domestic violence charges with his third wife, in as much as he's legally allowed to. It feels like Steve Austin holds nothing back as he talks about feeling underutilized, campaigning for himself, and how one post-match interview changed the course of pro-wrestling.

And that's the bottom line...

The Stone Cold Truth WWE Steve Austin JR Ross Dennis Brent Books Reviews

No bs book besides the bs that wrestling is scripted. The truth can seem cold.
I ordered this for my husband and ended up reading it myself. Great book from a great seller. It was in great condition when we received it and it arrived days ahead of schedule. My husband loves it and has read it several times already and he's not much of a reader. If you're a stone cold fan this book is a must have.
excellent
Stone colds book gives a real in depth look into the life of our favorite wrestler. I would suggest though, that you just watch his youtube interview Stone cold Steve Austin comes clean about the Wrestling business - It really gives you a 1on1 and even goes deeper than this book.

This book is at it's best when Steve is being himself instead of the Stone Cold character. Unlike The Rock's book, this one is a bit more honest and not in character every moment. Still not written with as much honesty as Mick Foley's bios (Have A Nice Day & Foley Is Good and coming soon Hardcore Diaries). JR (Jim Ross) helps out mostly at the end of chapters and his insight is very helpful. Without JR this book would be a 2 or 3 stars. Not too much is said that isn't common knowledge, so I recommend this book for the more die-hard Stone Cold fans. This won't appeal to mainstream non-wrestling fans the way Mick Foley's books did.
Steve Austin found a niche as a wrestler and became perhaps THE most famous wrestler of all time, a true star in the best sense of the word. The elite scoff at this pastime, forgetting what it is purely fun entertainment. No wrestler made it more so than Austin, and he created an astoundingly large fan base, and his way in the ring and with words turned him into a mega-star - a household word.

As this book amply illustrates, Austin has that vital Common Man appeal he tells it like it is, and makes no attempt to whitewash anything about himself or who he is. It's really refreshing to read an autobio that doesn't get precious or too self-regarding; his style is economical, and absolutely straightforward. Austin never gets mushy or falsely sentimental, even as he plainly states his love for his family and daughters.

In addition, this is a real He-Guy, who owns up to his shortcomings and transgressions without ever becoming showily defensive. It's hey, this is what I've done, for better or for worst. Austin has the art of being heartfelt without ever being smug or facetious.

You do learn, too, that all that, proverbially, glitters is not gold. Austin makes it clear that wrestling comes with its drawbacks - mainly that the physical exertion and hard-hitting contact left his body a wreck.

Austin tells his story engagingly. It's always fascinating to learn how someone at the top of their field reached from the point of decision to the point of result, and it appears that Austin's rise is based on the classic factors drive, passion for what he loves, perseverance, and just plain hard work.

He admits to being reserved and and not very open, which is understandable. That instinct, to keep a part of himself, FOR himself and not for the world to see, is part of the overall reality and image. A man's man, and his own man.

This is the guy you want to sit down and have a beer with, and that is the essence of this book's appeal. Austin embodies the classic American blue collar guy.
