About this ebook

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

This compelling and candid memoir from WWE superstar Rebecca Quin—a.k.a. The Man, a.k.a. Becky Lynch—delves into her earliest wrestling days, her scrappy beginnings, and her meteoric rise to fame.

Raised in Dublin, Ireland, in a devoutly Catholic family, Rebecca Quin constantly invented new ways to make her mother worry—roughhousing with the neighborhood kids, hosting secret parties while her parents were away, enrolling in a warehouse wrestling school, nearly breaking her neck and almost kneecapping a WWE star before her own wrestling career even began—and she was always in search of a thrilling escape from the ordinary.

Rebecca’s childhood love of wrestling set her on an unlikely path. With few female wrestlers to look to for guidance, Rebecca pursued a wrestling career hoping to change the culture and move it away from the antiquated disrespect so often directed at the elite female athletes who grace the ring. Even as a teenager, she knew that she would stop at nothing to earn a space among the greatest wrestlers of our time and to pave a new path for female fighters.

Culled from decades of journal entries, Rebecca’s memoir offers a raw, exclusive, and honest depiction of the complex woman behind the character Rebecca Quin plays on TV.

Ratings and reviews

Always have to appreciate when a wrestler peels back the curtain to tell their own stories and perspectives of what they have witnessed and gone through in the business. Becky does a great job at not just doing this but also making me the reader feel every word is a real representation of who she is behind the scenes. Loved this and it by far exceeded my expectations.

I couldn't put this book down. I've been a Becky Lynch Fan for years and it was interesting to read about her life.

I love Becky! the coolest of the cool superstars of WWE awesome book!!
