Which current wrestlers would you like to write an autobiography?

[Remix]

It seems to be the way of the world these days that a wrestler's career goes through three stages. You wrestle, you retire and then you right an autobiography. Sometimes you can go through this cycle multiple times (see: Foley and Jericho) but for the most part it seems to hold true.

With that in mind, would you be interested in the tell all story of any current day wrestlers? I mean, Heath Slater's probably not got as many cool stories as Undertaker because he's from a different and entirely less interesting time in terms of what wrestlers do. For example, on one time on tour Taker got into a drinking contest with a fellow wrestler, went to the bathroom, punched someone out and after the two got the hell out of dodge he passed out in his hotel room. Heath Slater... once allegedly raped a girl but probably didn't. Yeah, which autobiography are you more interested in?

With that in mind, which present day wrestlers do you think have an interesting enough story to tell that you'd pay to read it. For me there's just two people: Wade Barrett and Justin Gabriel.

Wade Barrett

There are two reasons I'd be interested in this autobiography if it ever got written. The first is that I'm a diehard mark for Barrett. The second is because I want the goddamn truth about the bare knuckle fighting. I legit have no clue if he actually did that or not. If it is true then let's be honest, he's bound to have some fun stories to tell on the subject (like the time he got stabbed, which he told on his WWEUniverse blog). I also think his days in the UK would be interesting to read about because he won in shoot competitions in those days which, again I'd find interesting.

Justin Gabriel

Really, there's one reason I'd be interested in this one, and it's got nothing to do with the fact that I mark for the man. Justin Gabriel is just someone who I think has a hell of a story to tell. From the top he: grew up in a civil war, had fights with his dad because he wanted to wrestle in feds he was competing with, his dad got shot while he was in school and had some quite serious political issues backstage at WWP (the African promotion he was at before WWE). And that's not taking into account any of the problems he could have found after moving to the states (which I don't doubt he had more of than the average FCW/WWE guy). He's potentially got one of the most interesting stories out of the current WWE roster and it's one I damn sure want to know about.

I open the floor to your opinions.

I haven't read any wrestling autobiographies, I must confess. They aren't available easily where I live. I mean I'd love to go through both of Jericho's books as I've heard such great reviews about them and Foley's first book as well, but some other day shall I lament on these.

That being said, for some odd reason; I'd love it if Scott Hall wrote one.I know he still has many demons and stuff, but I have two reasons for this pick-

a) It would be a good read. With rosy cheeks of embarassment I admit I dig the Kliq stories from back in the day and everything, and well his book would actually be TELL-ALL, because I don't think HBK or Hunter can spill a lotta beans, Nash would tear his finger typing (sorry had to) and Waltman is well someone who would fabricate.

b) He would just have a channel and say all that's going on and happened. To be frank, I have no connection with Hall and his problems, and if he perished tommorow wouldn't make a big difference to me, but just for, (for lack of a better term), humanity's sake, him just getting it all of his chest might help him. Feel like he has grievances with all that's happened to him but noone listens to him because he's an addict.

Present Day as in still active or what. I'll use both just to make sure.

Today Past Star: Definitely Undertaker mainly because it's rare you hear about The Undertaker outside of the WWE. I would pay the ludicrus twenty five bucks that it costs to buy a book on it's release for that book.

Today Present Star: I would not mind to read a John Cena book but I fear it would be very similar to that Batista book I once read. So if not Cena somebody like CM Punk or Daniel Bryan mainly because I love hearing about the Indy stories and these are two that probably have quite a couple to tell.

I have to agree Undertaker writing anything out of character would be down right awesome as fuck. It is a rarity that The Undertaker is caught doing something out of character whether he's on his yearly hiatus or working full time. Seeing the Undertaker out of character is somewwat awe inspiring to me. We'll never see The Undertaker give an interview in a magazine, we'll never see The Undertaker on Twitter, Undertaker seems to take his job (and more importantly) his character seriously. Sometime, after he's long gone from the WWE, I would love it if The Undertaker opened up about a lot of stuff that he went through in his WWE career.

Undertaker's been somewhat of a mystery to me. Other than his badass character, no one really knows what he's all about. Does he enjoy being a dark character? Why did he change his gimmick mid way through his career in WWE? How is it being locker room leader? And all the other internet stories we've heard over the years. The Undertaker's story needs to be told. I can understand why WWE would never want to publish anything breaking Kayfabe, especially one of the most sucessful gimmick ever, but I can't help but imagine Undertaker would. All his DVD's are in total kayfabe which doesn't cut it for me. Undertaker needs an autobiography. Book it.

Another wrestling personality I would love to read an autobiography from is Vince McMahon. This just screams awesomeness. I think Mr. McMahon has more than enough stories to tell about his life. Not only his time in the WWE, but before as well. Vince's life would make one hell of a movie and probably an even better book. I've heard enough about The Montreal Screwjob and how the WWE came to be; I want to read about deeper shit. For example, the steriods case, how Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels were hard to work with, his relationship with the top draws over the years, his thoughts on other (competing) wrestling organizations - just lay it all out there. Perhaps Vince's story would be more intriguing than any other wrestling personality's autobiography. I need it to happen.

Another wrestling personality I would love to read an autobiography from is Vince McMahon.

Great idea. Can you imagine the stories he'd have to tell? That is, of course, if he were to take the project seriously and let us know what was really going on behind the scenes. The thing is, if Vince were to do something like this, I think he'd go all out and truly let us in on the inner workings of his family's company.

I'd love to read about his real-life dealings with Bruno Sammartino, Randy Savage, Killer Kowalski....and of course, Hogan. What really happened in negotiations with Goldberg? With Punk? With Bret Hart? He'd probably omit the details about Stephanie and Macho Man but that's okay.

Then again, Vince would probably do this project only after he retires.....and based on everything we've seen, he won't retire until he's pushing up daisies at the Putnam Cemetery in Greenwich CT.

Scott Hall

From more inside Kliq stories, to becoming the 1st "Outsider" to invade WCW, to his fall from grace and severe drug problems, Scott Hall's life in wrestling would be a phenomenal read. As he can barely compete anymore, I think it would be a great idea for Hall to put his life down on paper and tell us the truth behind the stories and rumours.

Hell, he even KILLED a guy while working as a bouncer at a bar while just starting in the business. He had a gun pulled on him, got hold of it himself and shot the guy point blank in the head. That is a story worth telling!

Also, for all his issues outside the ring and success within the ropes Jeff Hardy would be another wrestler I would love to know more about.

Finally, from a personal standpoint, I would love to read Raven's story. He has always been my favourite wrestler, has had ALOT of personal issues himself that I would like to know more about, has seen it all in the business, working in ECW, WCW, WWE and TNA, and would have some great stories to tell about guys like Heyman and Vince. Also, the guy is in Mensa, and one of the greatest minds in the business. He would certainly have some interesting stuff to talk about.

I would love to have an autobiography about The Undertaker, and Jim Ross. I think that a look inside JR's life on the road would be something, since he was Vince's main announcer for so many years. He has been the most go to guy for over three decades. I imagine he has quite a story to tell. As far as the Undertaker, he is a mystery I wouldn't mind uncovering and reading about.
