About this ebook

The New York Times bestselling author, wrestler, metal rocker, and over-the-top media personality shares his latest wild and hilarious adventures
 
World Wrestling Entertainment has named Chris Jericho as one of the top ten wrestlers—and one of the top five talkers—of all time. Certainly, the past six years have been spectacular for Jericho. After a sluggish return from his 2005 sabbatical, Jericho found new inspiration in watching No Country for Old Men and completely reinvented his character—ultimately going on to capture three world WWE titles.
 
The Best in the World chronicles some of the incredible and often preposterous highlights of Jericho’s recent career, including:

• How Mickey Rourke challenged Jericho to a match, then backed out
• Jericho’s award-winning feud with Shawn Michaels, which culminated in Jericho knocking out Michael’s wife in the ring . . . for real
• His escape from the 2010 Icelandic volcanoes in a broken-down, European rental-car shuttle
• His encounters with Bob Barker, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Al Sharpton, and Mike Tyson; and his on-again-off-again relationship with WWE chief Vince McMahon

Jericho has a one-of-a-kind comedic voice and a knack for getting himself into screwball situations—both in and out of the ring. See for yourself why he is the best in the world.

Ratings and reviews

I have always liked Jericho, but after reading this book, he's become one of my all time favorite guys. Funny, insightful, and gives us a peek of the wrestling world we couldn't get otherwise. Great work y2j!!

Jericho hits the big time once again with this read. From his constant "Froot" references to his entertaining stories of worldwide travels with both the WWE and Fozzy, he hits on every cylinder of his multiple careers over a three year period.

Beautifully told. An extremely "froot" book, if I may say so.
