20 Best Wrestling Books Ever

Books produced by WWE can be a mixed bag, usually because the ghost writer fails to build that connection between superstar wrestler and those reading. Generally, the best books are those actually written by the performer themselves, but The Million Dollar Man is a remarkable exception to that rule.

First and foremost, it comes across loud and clear that DiBiase provided a series of interviews that were then dissected and turned into a fully-fleshed story. If that hints at being a problem for anyone, fears can be allayed by the fact that Ted is brutally honest throughout the 300 or so pages here.

It's refreshing to read, because DiBiase probably didn't need to be quite so open when discussing ex-marital affairs or life on the road. He never tries to paint himself as an excellent human being, simply a man caught up in the whirlwind life of being a top WWF star in the 1980s boom period.

That time frame makes up the majority of the book, with his tenure in WCW being glossed over a little. Nonetheless, there's enough here to make it vital.
