The Best in the World: At What I Have No Idea

The parts about his return to WWE and the various feuds/storylines (especially the stuff about the Shawn Michaels storyline) were interesting. The stuff about metal bands, not so much. The problem with audiobooks is that you can't skim until you get to something interesting. Not bad at all, especially when graded on the curve of ‘wrestling memoirs,' but not something that'll stick with me that long, I think.

Once again Chris Jericho has done it. He has managed to write another great book that makes one laugh out loud but then manages to make you think and even cry. His personality comes through effortlessly as does his humor that makes this book so great.

I enjoyed the book greatly and finished it very quickly. As soon as I finished the last page, I wanted more just as I did with Jericho's last two books.

Personally, the moments Jericho talked about with Avenged Sevenfold were a few of my favorite parts as they're my favorite band; I enjoyed reading about the guys hanging out with Jericho's family - made me jealous (I want to hang out with A7X and Jericho too!) but overall it made me smile and laugh as I thought of the big ‘scary' tattooed rock stars playing with kids and swimming with them. But even more than that, one of my favorite parts (that seems to be a tradition with Jericho's writing) was the raw honesty that came from the pages as Jericho opened up about talking about Chris Benoit.

I didn't know Benoit personally but I met him once and he left an impression on me and was one of the sweetest men I have ever met - on top of that, he had been my favorite wrestler when I had been able to meet him. He took the time to talk with me, finding out that he was my favorite wrestler, asked if I would be at the show and if I would have sign for him and when I told him my sign for him, he told me he'd look for it - which he did that night. At the show he looked for my sign and once he found it, he pounded his chest and pointed to it.

But there's so much more than that. Benoit was my favorite wrestler who took time with me to talk and he left a lasting impression.

Years later, it's still hard to talk about even though I didn't know Benoit personally and only met him one time. But still I found myself empathizing with Jericho as I read his passages about Benoit and I even admittedly cried a bit. All I have to say is you're not alone Jericho, not at all.

The book is great overall and you just may not be able to put it down when you start to read it (I know I couldn't). I know that for a while, I'm gonna just gonna keep randomly thinking of and laughing at the image of Chris Jericho half out of it in bed (drunk/close to passing out) while John Cena who had tucked Jericho in to bed, continues to drink and looks through Jericho's Ipod in the dark!

Jericho delivered yet another funny, thoughtful, well-written book that's a great read and will leave you wanting another (please sir). It will also make you wonder one good question...

When does Jericho ever sleep?
