- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Doc is one of the most acclaimed wrestlers of the '80s and '90s and certainly has a great story to tell, but this book was somewhat of a letdown. The harrowing nature of his battle with throat cancer comes across, but his Japanese career isn't dealt with in the depth I'd have liked- that's rather predictable, though, in a book geared toward an American audience. Not very well edited, so they might as well have cut Doc loose to rant like he used to in his online commentaries. e.g. "SCOTT NORTON FELL ON ME HE IS HEAVY BROTHER!!! GOD IS GREAT BOOMER SOONERS!!!"
