If you’re a fan of the of his first book Kayfabe, then you’ll love this book. It’s like a sequel with his previous experiences and stories but also a book that educates you on how to grow a business yourself.
Sean gives you a interesting perspective and tips on how to learn from you mistakes and successes and continue to grow. I recommend it for fans of the product as well as anyone that’s looking for ideas on how to start your own business or just even how to present yourself and your work in the real world.
Well done.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
They were nomadic warriors, their business shrouded in secrecy. They navigated a world fraught with pitfalls. Abuse was rampant. Their world was perilous. And they had kids. This is the true story of pro wrestlers raising children while working the unrelenting road. All content was constructed via personal new interviews with the stars and their families. See how Sullivan, Atlas, Bischoff, Poffo, Russo, Santana, Bigelow, and more scored their most important wins and heartbreaking losses, told in a most riveting narrative style.

Sean Oliver dives into a topic about wrestlers being fathers.
There are revelations about certain stars in the business who enjoyed growing up who now I have a ton of respect for after hearing this story. These include JJ Dillon, Eric Bischoff, Tito Santana, and Gary Hart.
There are stories such as Sean Walkman, Bam Bam Bigelow and Tony Atlas that tug your heart strings a tad.
As a expecting father to be, I take pride that this book shows that if they can all find a away to make it work, even with the lifestyle of a wrestler, then I can too.
Check it out.

The following review is scheduled for one full listen
Reviewed: 07-24-18
I started following Justin’s career when I saw him announced wwe raw when he was in St Louis and I remember liking him that night and when I heard he had a book I was interested in what he had to say.
I never knew how much of a wrestling fan he was and he brings that excitement and energy while reading this book. It is more entertaining to listen to his story that way. You’re left satisfied with his story on him making his dream a reality and at the same time felt disappointed for him when the environment he was placed in took part of his passion away. But he leaves you optimistic in the end and hopeful for him and his future.
Check it out.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,756
In 1997, World Championship Wrestling was on top. It was the number-one pro wrestling company in the world, and the highest-rated show on cable television. Each week, fans tuned in to Monday Nitro, flocked to sold-out arenas, and carried home truckloads of WCW merchandise. Sting, Bill Goldberg, and the New World Order were household names. Superstars like Dennis Rodman and KISS jumped on the WCW bandwagon. It seemed the company could do no wrong.
