10 Wrestling Books That Proved Seriously Controversial

10. Steve Williams - How Dr. Death Became Dr. Life

To newer fans, Steve Williams is primarily known for being something of a failed experiment in the WWF. He was brought in by Jim Ross, who was a huge admirer of Williams for his tenure as a collegiate football player at Ross' beloved University of Oklahoma, and for his time competing in All Japan Pro Wrestling.

Unfortunately, Williams was debuted in the ill-fated Brawl for All, and despite his amateur wrestling background making him one of the favourites to win the shoot fighting competition, he would be unceremoniously knocked out by eventual winner Bart Gunn.

After being diagnosed with, and recovering from, throat cancer in 2004, Williams wrote an autobiography chronicling his life in both wrestling and gridiron.

What makes Williams' memoir worthy of a place on this list, is a legendary story told by Luke Gallows, who details being chewed out for ostensibly refusing to take a test on the book by John Laurinaitis.
