- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5well I know austin is a bad ass. so as wrestling fans, this is one of the must hear audiobook I recommended to all of you. worth it to hear.. worth it to think.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Solid read and Steve and JR are great. Wish there was the full, non-abridged version. Also, there is one story that doesnt age well, but sh*t happens.

And That's The Bottom Line Cause
Stone Cold Said So ? - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As much of an impact as Stone Cold made on the pro wrestling world, his biography was not so entertaining. I enjoyed reading about his life and struggles to get to the WWF, but it read too much like a PBS documentary than a heartfelt revelation. The 'Truth' will always be overshadowed by the door-opening works of Foley.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fabulous book for anyone who wants insight into the man Steve Williams and the Legend Stone Cold Steve Austin. It's funny, serious, kinda pulls at the heart strings in places, and to me it seems very honest. None of this appears to be made up or exaggerated or glossed over. Much like the man was in ring, he tells it like it is in his own colorful language. I loved reading and listening to the audiobook (which is an abridged version of the book), but it is read by the man himself, so either way it's worth it. I am looking forward to getting the DVD next.
