Rating: Summary: King of Men Review: This book was really neat. You learn alot about the self-proclaimed KING OF MEN. I really like how Freddie used some harsh language to describe certian things in his life and certian people. It was like hearing an old war tale by your grand-father or someone from the ww2 era. I found out how long the man was actually in the wrestling buisness...since 1935. That is a while, almost 70 years! Thats amazing to think some one could love his job that much. I highly recomend this book to anyone interested in reading about an amazing legend. GO READ IT!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Excellent autobiography, extremely honest Review: This is the most unpolitical honest wrestling autobiography out there today. Fred Blassie doesn't sugarcoat in this book; he speaks his mind freely. You really get inside the head of one of the original innovating heels. The book works almost as a playbook for how to be a great heel and how to work the character to perfection. Plus the book features many different summaries from other wrestlers and personalities from Blassie's life. These entries add to the book a level of credibility unlike the horrible summaries from Jim Ross in Steve Austin's mediocre book. This may be the best autobiography ever written and I recommend it to all wrestling fans, because you will learn so much from it. There is so much to learn from Fred Blassie and he is an open book in his book. So buy and enjoy!
