3. "Walking A Golden Mile" By William Regal

694966 One of the most underrated wrestling books written by one of the most underrated wrestlers, this is a matter-of-fact account of English wrestler William Regal's long career. Regal's story is fascinating, starting with how he wrestled at an entertainment pier in Blackpool and worked his way up to the WWE. The material on British wrestling prompted me to check out Simon Garfield's "The Wrestling". Regal's discussion of his addiction to various drugs was quite thorough and sincere. The book only goes up to 2005, and thus doesn't mention Regal's more recent suspension from the WWE for using steroids (although the author does note that he used them throughout his career for training and recovery purposes).
