I was going to say I already have Foley's book, but just wanted to see if you come around to mention (as it is indeed one of the first wrestling books anyone should get). I didn't know about Regal having a book, but now that I know of it I will sure be picking it up. As it will be interesting to read about his drug issues when you to take into consideration that WWE helped publish the book, so will indeed be a nice one to get.
As far as what I decided to pick up, I went ahead and got one Jericho's books (Undisputed). I've always he has written many great books and they are almost always great material, so I will check this one out first. Another I decided to pick up was Shawn Michaels' second book (Wrestling For My Life) as I heard the first nook he wrote just glossed over some stuff while this one isn't necessarily about backstage politics, but rather how he overcame his battles with addictions and his bad behavior. And the way you helped described AJ Lee's book convinced me in getting it as well. I want to kind of know a little about how she dealt with those issues and the way she wrote the book sounds fun.
I also have Daniel Bryan's book (Yes!), I don't know if you gotten a chance to read it because it is quite a good read. It really helps you know how much of a humble person Bryan truly is and how hardcore his love for wrestling is. There's also one funny bit Sheamus does the ruins Bryan and Brie's night.
The one book I'm also considering getting is J.R.'s book (Slobberknocker) since I've heard mixed reviews on it. If you had any feedback on it that would be nice.
