Book Reviews of It's Good to Be the King...Sometimes
Book Review: Entertaining, amusing but sad at the end.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a highly entertaining look at one of the greatest wrestling stars of all time. Jerry The King Lawler is a legend in Memphis and tells us how he got to that level in this book.
There are a number of amusing stories and he tells numerous anecdotes and one-liners that will bring a chuckle.
The serious element of the book about the pain that Jerry felt when his third wife left him and his search for a new partner does make the book end on a sour note though. I just hope he writes a sequel in the future.
Summary of It's Good to Be the King...Sometimes
It's Good to Be the King...Sometimes is a no-holds-barred personal account from the "puppies-pantin'" King, who steps out from behind the announcer's desk of WWE Raw to hold court about everything. His passion for the ring that first drew him out of a rundown West Memphis movie theater over thirty years ago. The comic adventures and tragic bumps with the National Wrestling Alliance. Earning his royal personage against his own mentor, "Fabulous" Jackie Fargo. Grappling with mat legends Ric Flair, Lou Thesz, Jesse Ventura, Andre the Giant, Terry Funk, and Bret "Hitman" Hart. And his crowning achievements as co-owner of the United States Wrestling Association, which contributed to the rise of future WWE Superstars: Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock.The King reveals the schemes and outrageous story lines to many of wrestling's most fantastic theatrics and all-too-real moments. Lawler tells of his legendary "feud" with Andy Kaufman, and his much-publicized confrontation with the actor portraying the late comedian on the set of Man on the Moon, and the "karate-versus-wrestling" match that almost occurred between Lawler and Memphis's other King. And be sure to honor his royal proclamations regarding former wives, and his mother's opinion of wrestling, and the body part he truly worships on a WWE Diva.
