A Lion's Tale is the biography of wrestler Chris Jericho, going from childhood to his moments right before walking through the curtain in his WWF debut.
Right off, this is the most entertaining wrestling book I've ever read. More entertaining than Foley's two books, more entertaining even than Terry Funk's book. Chris Jericho isn't afraid to poke fun at himself or throw in pop culture references. I laughed out loud a few times at his wordplay.
The book itself is a quick read and should be used as..more

Next to 'Hitman', Jericho's autobiography is one of the most entertaining looks at the world of professional wrestling. I might sound like a terrible person in saying this but I'm happy that it was not censored by the actions of Chris Benoit in mid-2007 - I feel that it would not have been all that accurate in depicting Jericho's early career if that had happened.

I have this urge, to call this the single best pro-wrestling book ever written, but [unfortunately] I myself read only a few of those. Still, it's the best one I laid my filthy little hands on. Chris just hijacks your attention and takes you on a ride of your (or his, to be exact) life. I live a boring existence: a gray apartment, some basic education to stand on and an office job situated in the district of HELL. Basically a recipe for a suicide that's waiting to happen. This guy, on the other..more

From humble beginnings in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to landing his dream job in the WWE, Chris Jericho details the many hardships and hilarious moments he went through on his quest to be a well-known professional wrestler. As a child, he would watch Hulk Hogan, The British Bulldogs, and the Hart Family on TV and in the arenas dominating their competition and putting on a show. This prompted Jericho to want to train at the infamous Hart Dungeon, where students were pushed to their breaking point..more
I started watching wrestling at a young age. I don't watch it as much anymore, but in the 90's I used to love tuning into Monday Night Nitro to see what Chris Jericho would do next. Back then, he was my favorite wrestler. I ran across an autographed copy of his autobiography at Bardstown Booksellers a couple years back, read the book off and on and finished the book in May of this year.
The book tells his story from the beginning of his career through his days at WCW, before he became a star in t..more

In one of the greatest sporting autobiographies ever written, the man known across the world as 'Y2J' Chris Jericho takes the reader on an incredible, no-holds-barred journey in highlighting his humble beginnings from wrestling in bingo halls and bowling alleys to years spent in promotions in Mexico, Germany, and Japan - as well as ECW and WCW - all of which finally granted him entrance into the granddaddy of them all: the WWE. Though I was not able to follow Jericho's wrestling career as it hap..more
A Lion's Tale is Chris Jericho's first venture in the world of authorship and he does a phenomenal job. There are so many instances where I'm shaking with laughter. Others moments where I am close to tears, specifically when he speaks about his moms accident. This book, as well as all of Jericho's books, are a must read for any wrestling fan.

Great Read
This is a wonderful book that chronicles the beginnings of Chris's personal and professional life. There are quite a few nuggets of wisdom for life, soaked in wrestling, and they are greatly appreciated. Cannot wait to read the next book!

After reading 2 fairly brainy books in a row, I was struggling to start a third when my roomate handed this to me. I figured I could use a good garbage read before I went on with more heavy stuff.
This is the latest in a too-long line of cookie cutter 'wrestler's life' tomes issued after the fantastic success of Mick Foley's first book. However, Mick can write, and Mick is funny. Mick appears on the back cover, lamenting that this book might be better than his. He shouldn't worry: this book is ga..more

I am severely disappointed by Jericho's biography. I know this is the first installment of a three part series, the other two parts probably focusing on his WWE and music career, but considering that challenges and his ascent to the top would be the most fascinating, this effort falls flat hard and essentially decides that I should not bother with parts two and three. I am mostly disappointed because Jericho truly is a versatile star in various fields (wrestling, music, entertainment) and as his..more

A Lion's Tale:Around the World in Spandex is indeed a very enjoyable read, much if you are a pro-wrestling fan and could be described as a blast is you are a Chris Jericho fan (Jerichoholics!!)
The book describes Chris Jericho's journey from being a wrestling fan to eventually entering his dream venture(WWE).
Readers beware (Y2J fans especially) it's the sequel called Undisputed: How to Become the World Champion in 1,372 Easy Steps that describes his vast venture specifically in the WWE but not th..more
This was a remarkably fun book to read for me. I am 34 years old and haven't watched a wrestling match since I was about 10, but I've seen Chris Jericho on TV (That Metal Show) and found him a likable character.
This book really took me back in time. Reading about some of the wrestlers that I grew up watching as a kid was good fun, and the author's humor was fantastic. He depends on a lot of in-jokes, and I suppose if you aren't up to speed on old movies, heavy metal music, and old school wrestli..more

Took me a while to finish this, Jerichos first tale, not that I didn't want to read it, life just got busy.
This was the early stories of how a young Y2J became a wrestling fan and a music fan. He attend the Hart Brothers School and got a rude awakening as to how the wrestling business can put on a facade and not tell anyone what's behind the curtain. Over coming tough matches in Mexico and in Japan's WAR, Jericho made his was to ECW for a short time before signing with WCW. Although he got is n..more
OK, it's not high art, but it gets 4 stars for several reasons. First, it was fun to read. Second, it illuminated the behind-the scenes world of pro wrestling in the 80s and 90s, when the industry drew the most interest. Further, it is always fascinating (as someone who just does not have that kind of drive) to read about how an individual's single-minded determination can drive them to the top of their field. Sure, it's an autobio, and things are always left out in the interest of the writer (o..more

An interesting and fun biography about one of the most colorful wrestlers in the last 10 years. Learning of Chris Jericho's path from a kid with a dream to the bright lights of the then WWF was fun, he has seen a lot and done a lot in this business all of which contribute to the showman he is now.
I did find the stories a little disjointed and they were told by territory not by chronology so its hard to gauge were he is in relation to this wrestling.
In all thought a good fun story, light enough..more
Chris Jericho's book A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex is probably my favorite book in my personal library. I have read it over twelve times, and each time it just gets better.
The thing I love most about this book is that you watch little Christopher Keith Irvine grow up through Jack Action, He-Man, Chris Cherrycoo, and finally, the world famous Chris Jericho.
This book is not all about wrestling, It's a mans's life, and the man just happens to be a wrestler. His unique experiences and c..more
Chris Jericho is a funny guy. I enjoyed this book. It was made even more entertaining by going to YouTube and watching some of the things he'd written about. It was a fun book that gave me a deeper respect for Jericho and how hard the business of professional wrestling is. It looks glamorous, but it is a hard way to make it to the top.
If you are a professional wrestling fan, you'll love this. If you aren't, I think you will still like it. I'm not a fan of pro wrestling, but after reading this bo..more
This is a funny, and enjoyable autobiography of professional wrestler and singer Chris Jericho. It tells his days of being a independent nobody to becoming a international success. Jericho recounts the stories of his training in Japan up until his historic debut in the WWE. He keeps the book light and cheery but doesn’t bring up any media watch topics like steroids. His writing is not impressive as his mic skills but, it is still a great read about one of the most entertaining individuals in pro..more

I've always been a fan of Chris Jericho and I have to say after reading this, I'm an even bigger fan of his now. This book is full of hilarious stories from his storied and well traveled career. He shares stories that most would be ashamed and act like they never happened, but he admits them and makes them a part of his life long journey of being a professional wrestler. One of the best Biographies I've read by far.
Nov 15, 2011jersey9000 rated it it was amazing
Ny fan of wrestling needs to read this book. Period. Any fan of autobiographies would, I think, really enjoy this book. A story of a childhood dream fulfilled, and all the ups and downs and so forth that go with it. Jericho is a good storyteller and knows how to be both funny and humble while showing people he's one of the best in the world (maybe of all time) at what he does. Read it, you'd dig it for sure.
Aside from the fact that Chris Jericho is one deliciously sexy hunk of awesomeness, he's also a witty and intelligent story-teller. This is a must-read for any fans of wrestling before it took on the glitz and glamor of today's firework-whores.
Chris is a talented and humble man who has kept his humor and logical sense while still appreciating the little things that helped catapult him to the top of WWE's superstars. *Swoon*
Probably one of the most entertaining biographies I have ever read. While Jericho comes across as a know it all jerk on Television his true shelf shines in this books. He is at the same time cocky and unsure of himself. He's relentlessly funny, charming and, at times, painfully honest. When he speaks about the incident that happened to his mother, it is brutal and touching.
I give this book five out of five stars, because it outshines all the other biographies that I've ever read.

Sep 29, 2011Andrew rated it really liked it
I liked the sequel more, but that has more to do with the fact that I remember watching many of the matches Chris describes in Undisputed. This book gives a good overview of his early career, and focuses on just wrestling as opposed to the split in Undisputed between his wrestling and music career. The book is humorous throughout which makes for a light read. Reccommended for wrestling fans and especially fans of Jericho.
Dec 16, 2011Russell Smith rated it really liked it
I've now read quite a few of these wrestling (auto)biographies and this is easily one of the best.
Chris' insights into the grappling world are gripping, interesting and comical and he certainly has a story to tell.
This book has made me want to read more and I have already started on the second book in the series. Top effort, Y2J.
It was a good book. It did teach about his life. He grew up in Winnipeg. He wanted to be a wrestler.
He became a wrestler. He traveled to countries. Some of his friends died. He kept on going. He was
tired of WCW. He started to work with Vince McMahon.

This is my second favorite wrestling biography, after Mick Foley's first. While I don't particularly like the direction that Jericho's character has taken on WWE, I'd love to sit down for a drink with the Jericho that wrote this smart, insightful and (at times) intensely funny book.
