20 Best Wrestling Books Ever
5. Adam Copeland On Edge - Adam Copeland
A dorky, gangly teenager with a mullet and a love for Hulk Hogan, Adam Copeland would go on to become one of the greatest heels of his generation. Reinvented as Edge, the Canadian first became a top tag-team wrestler before finding his true role as 'The Rated R-Superstar' before becoming a multi-time World Champion.
Some kind of follow up would be nice from Copeland, as so much has happened in his life and career following this book. Forced retirement for one, but also numerous TV roles and shifts in his personal life. Published in 2004, Adam Copeland On Edge is undeniably dated, but that doesn't hold it back from being highly interesting.
Copeland's geeky love of wrestling as a kid comes across straight away, as does his affection towards his hard-working mother. He details a journey from his native Canada to the WWF, eventually becoming a genuine headliner in WWE against the odds.
Although it isn't necessarily presented as such, it's an underdog story. By the end, it's difficult not to be pleased that several serious injuries didn't prevent Copeland from living out his main event dreams.
