Summary: Inspiring Story of a Real Life Hero
Comment: When Kurt Angle made his debut in the WWF he was portrayed as the character of a sports legend who thought the world owed him a living for his winning gold medals in the Olympics. The real Kurt Angle is nothing like that at all, as we see in this eye opening and inspiring autobiography. Over the course of the book we learn that Kurt did not have the perfect family (losing his father to a fatal accident when Kurt was 16) or even the perfect marriage. Nor, despite the glory he's reaped, has his athletic career been on a perfect note. But he's done well, and he chalks it up to one constant in his life: if you really want something, there is no substitute for hard work. Angle overcame both personal disappointments and serious injuries to dominate his sport of wrestling at the college level and the Olympic level through his mantra of dedication and hard work.
Angle is the first American amateur star to turn pro since 1980. Before, it was not unusual for amateur stars to take to the pro ring; such wrestling champions as Mike DiBiase, Dick Hutton, Danny Hodge, the Zebra Kid, Bob Backlund, and Jack Brisco came from the amateur mats. Angle's reasons in joining the WWF, his views of the difference between amateurs and pros and his adjustment to the pro game make for fascinating reading, especially in light of the fact that his signing has caused other amateur stars to take the possibility of a pro career seriously. (Such as NCAA champion Brock Lesnar, who should make his WWF debut shortly.)
But Angle's story is not only of interest to adults or wrestling fans. His message and the fact the book lacks the profanity that has become commonplace in these sort of tomes make it perfect reading for any teenager who has dreams of pursuing a career, athletic or otherwise. There is no substitute for hard work.

Summary: Enteraning, Something that a Kurt Angle fan would like.
Comment: I do admit alough Kurt is my all-time favorit, He does blow his horn a lot in the book and goes off the topic a little bit o tell some story of his life,,,,,
But all in all whean it gets to for WWF (WWE) Carrer its pretty good he is honest about most of eveyrthing,,,.....
But I can also see why this wasent a huge succes eather,,,,,,, Kurt should have waited for more of his carrer to devolpe, even to this day isnt the best time eather,,,,
The Real Reason The Rock's and Mik Foley's was a huge sucess was becuase they wear both well known outside the wrestling world and the olympics, and they had a lot of storys to tell in the WWE.
Kurt wrote this on his 2nd year in the pro-wrestling business,,,,,,,,
If you are a true Kurt fan youde like this,,, but buying it is something you might wantto think about...
Go get it from th libary or something unless you really think you like it dont buy it!

Summary: One of the most interesting autobiographies I've ever read
Comment: As a fan of the World Wrestling Federation, I've enjoyed Kurt Angle's antics right from day 1. His character is one of the most colorful to ever grace the Sports Entertainment industry.
This book was extremely interesting, and Kurt Angle has lived quite an interesting life. You had him when he was a kid, entertaining his brothers friends by fighting his brother Eric until one of them cried. And his insane training regimen for the 1996 Olympics. I'm not much of a reader, never been. But I honestly couldn't put his book down. I read it in 3 days. I'd never read 300 pages in 3 days before. That says something about this book.
Kurt Angle ends the book by saying he wants to go for the 2004 Gold Medal again. I would love to see it. He is the most confident wrestler to ever grace the mat, and I know he truly believes he's the best. All in all, a very good read, and I urge any fan of wrestling, whether amateur or professional, to give it a look.
