5 WWE Books for a Fan's Wishlist

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).

It's Jericho's no-nonsense look at the wrestling profession complete with his own anecdotal tales.

Now in this book, Bischoff talks about all sorts of behind the scenes gossip from a true insider's perspective. Includes his discussion of how Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin made the WCW great and how corporate politics killed WCW.

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.

Batista' Unleashed - October 16th

World Heavyweight champion, Batista has his first official book coming out on October 16th. The hardcover book entitled "Batista Unleashed" is 320 pages and written by Dave Batista along with Jeremy Roberts. It will feature a look at the wrestling superstar's path to the WWE and all the various obstacles he has dealt with along the way.

Here's a bit of the book description courtesy of Amazon.com:

"People around the world know Dave Batista as World Wrestling Entertainment's "the Animal," the rope-shaking, spine-busting World Heavyweight Champion, one of the most popular Superstars in recent years.The crowd turned Batista from heel to babyface after they were electrified by his awesome physique and physical wrestling style.

Few fans, however, know that Batista didn't join the profession until he was thirty years old -- an age at which many wrestlers are thinking about hanging up their boots. Nor do most fans know the tremendous toll the climb to the top has taken on Batista's personal life. While successfully staying away from hard drugs and -- usually -- liquor, he found sex too tempting to resist.

"Women were my drug of choice," the Animal confesses. That addiction cost him his marriage, destroying a relationship that had helped him climb from poverty to the pinnacle of sports entertainment in less than two years.

Now, in Batista Unleashed, the WWE Superstar comes clean about the choices he made and the devastating effects they had on his family. He talks about the injury that stripped him of his title -- an injury he blames on Mark Henry's carelessness. While being sidelined cost Batista untold hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost income, it also set the stage for a tremendous comeback that cemented the Animal's reputation as a true champion."

Sounds like this could be quite an interesting read for fans of the Animal or WWE fanatics in general. Preoders are available now at Amazon for Batista Unleashed.
