3. Justin Roberts - Best Seat In The House

Amazon/Meyer & Meyer Sport

The subtitle of Best Seat In House by Justin Roberts promises to give fans a 'Backstage Pass Through My WWE Journey', and it certainly does. There's no sugar-coating here; Roberts details his 12-year stay with the company openly. If some of his co-workers and superiors come across poorly, then that's a mere byproduct of honesty.

Despite what you may think going in though, the former WWE ring announcer doesn't waste time ridiculing or dishing dirt on those he worked with in the juggernaut organisation. There are negatives (JBL in particular doesn't get a glowing review), but the passion Roberts had for his job shines through. Justin really loved being part of WWE.

Best Seat In The House is an authentic story of one wrestling fan who somehow ended up announcing the main event at WrestleMania. Even the most jaded in the wrestling community will be able to raise a smile as Roberts describes how much that meant to him.

Read the book for those moments, not for any slander.
