Honesty is a huge selling point for pro wrestling books. Lex Luger is a classic example of someone who had it all, before his life crashed down around him. Unafraid to tell the truth, Wrestling With The Devil is like the story of two different people.

In a sense, that's what has happened to Lex. Evolving as a person and humbled by a serious spinal injury that left him in a wheelchair, the former muscle man feels he is in a much better place now than he was at the peak of his powers.

That may seem strange at first, but it's clear that Luger has used the power of reflection to realise how badly he treated people during his prime. Possessing an impressive physique and almighty sense of self-worth, the 'Total Package' believed his own hype.

Reading Wrestling With The Devil may open eyes for those who previously viewed Luger as someone lucky to stumble into wrestling and work with the greats.
