This book is only telling very limited facts about Joanie Laurer's (Chyna) early days until she reached the top peak of her status as the dominant female wrestler back in her era. But mostly discuss too many of Paul Levesque (Triple H) and seems incomplete of herself. If you're a collector this may be good enough, but for a pop culture historian, this is way far from completion. So this book is not great, but not bad at all. Just somewhere in the middle.

Wrestling is not easy. It may be fake. But it is an artistic stunt show. And for a woman to do it the way she did was just amazing.
