4. "Pure Dynamite: The Price You Pay for Wrestling Stardom" By Tom Billington
One of the better pro wrestler books out there. While you may not agree with this man's attitude, the way the book is written garners sympathy for his beliefs and plight, and there's lots of great insight into the various worlds of pro wrestling from the UK to Mexico, Canada, Japan and the World Wrestling Federation itself. Tom "Dynamite Kid" Billington's story is a cautionary tale about stardom and abuse that goes well beyond the world of wrestling. Kid doesn't pull any punches when voicing his opinion on fellow wrestlers and promoters, sounding bitter at times, but it's a gripping read from start to end.
