Daniel Bryan is one of the most unlikely WWE World Heavyweight Champions ever. Just ask the man, he'll say exactly the same thing, and does so numerous times throughout his own autobiography. A stereotypical assessment of wrestling biographies, such as Hulk Hogan's WWE-published book, is that they are an attempt to paint the subject in a favourable light no matter what. Bryan goes the opposite direction, he opens up to his fan base with an almost alarming level of ease. Stories such as meeting Vince McMahon for the first time and his own unique thoughts about the world around him are pulsating. Simply put, even though it's one of the most modern examples on this list, this book is a must-read for any WWE fan who is curious about the backstage landscape in the company over the past 5 years. 'My Improbable Journey To The Main Event Of WrestleMania' is a brilliant title, because it speaks to Bryan's core fans. Those people believe in him without question, and the book's name backs that idea up in one fell swoop. Exploration of his career before WWE is also well-written, and works in well with - almost kayfabe - passages which begin each chapter detailing his journey to the main event of WrestleMania XXX.
