Some of the best stories in WWE wrestling aren't the ones we see on TV or Pay Per Views. Instead they are the background stories on the wrestling industry or the wrestlers' lives. There's been some great firsthand accounts from various WWE superstars and personalities released as books. Some of the most recent include Chris Jericho and Batista, with other stars such as Triple H, Mick Foley and Eric Bischoff also releasing their own books. Here's a look at the 5 books you may consider giving to that WWE fan on your holiday shopping list (or asking for on your own wishlist).
1) A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex
- Chris Jericho made his recent return to the ring, shortly after he began promoting this book. It's Jericho's no-nonsense look at the wrestling profession complete with his own anecdotal tales.

Also looks at how he made his way through the ranks alongside stars such as Lance Storm.

Definitely worth reading for Batista fans, it's 320 pages full of insight into his life and wrestling career.

5) Triple H Making the Game: Triple H's Approach to a Better Body (WWE)
- One of the most athletic and chiseled stars in the WWE has always been, Triple H, the Game.

From eating and diet to workout routines, this tells the tale of a once skinny, 135 pound teenager who has gone on to be larger than life in pro wrestling. Triple H provides readers the routines and guidelines to build a better body.
