About this item

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

This compelling and candid memoir from WWE superstar Rebecca Quin—a.k.a. The Man, a.k.a. Becky Lynch—delves into her earliest wrestling days, her scrappy beginnings, and her meteoric rise to fame.

Raised in Dublin, Ireland, in a devoutly Catholic family, Rebecca Quin constantly invented new ways to make her mother worry—roughhousing with the neighborhood kids, hosting secret parties while her parents were away, enrolling in a warehouse wrestling school, nearly breaking her neck and almost kneecapping a WWE star before her own wrestling career even began—and she was always in search of a thrilling escape from the ordinary.

Rebecca’s childhood love of wrestling set her on an unlikely path. With few female wrestlers to look to for guidance, Rebecca pursued a wrestling career hoping to change the culture and move it away from the antiquated disrespect so often directed at the elite female athletes who grace the ring. Even as a teenager, she knew that she would stop at nothing to earn a space among the greatest wrestlers of our time and to pave a new path for female fighters.

Culled from decades of journal entries, Rebecca’s memoir offers a raw, exclusive, and honest depiction of the complex woman behind the character Rebecca Quin plays on TV.

I loved this book!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024

This book was truly captivating, as I savored every moment of the narrative. I found it difficult to tear myself away from its pages, deliberately pacing myself to fully savor the experience. Becky Lynch's portrayal of vulnerability, self-doubt, and resilience resonated with me deeply, mirroring my own journey of uncertainty and eventual clarity. Witnessing her return to wrestling was a poignant moment of realization for her, and I felt privileged to share in her triumphs and struggles. The insights into her life behind the scenes were particularly enlightening, adding depth to the overall narrative. I extend my gratitude to Becky Lynch for this insightful and engaging read.

An Exceptional Book for Average Humans

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024

Rebecca's talent with the written word is exceptional. Her descriptive words make it easy for the reader to paint a picture or visualize exactly what she is talking about even though we have never done some of the things she has. It's easy for someone to feel like they're in the same shoes because wrestler or not most humans have had the exact same feelings, doubts, and thoughts.

Becky's personality comes out of the pages.. I listened to the audiobook as I was reading the physical book and it just brings it to life and helps interpret the words as she meant it to be read.

The book is incredible, insightful, emotional, comical, meaningful and entertaining. Mick Foley said it is one of the most important wrestling books written in the last 10 years, I say it's one of the most important books written in the last 10 years! In my opinion, it's not a wrestling book, it's a book about being human, fighting for the things you want, and proof that what's meant to be will be!

Hilarious, raw, honest and full of grit!

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024

I wasn’t a Pro Wrestling fan until I learned about Becky Lynch. Suppose I was judging it as silly and over the top without ever giving it a chance by educating myself. This book isn’t just for wrestling fans at all. This is a story about overcoming all odds with relentless perseverance. It’s a coming of age story about a young woman facing down her insecurities and pushing forward despite self-doubt. I highly recommend it to everyone. Several moments had me stopping and laughing hysterically, re-reading that part, and laughing some more. This woman can write and it’s a total page turner. Becky is a woman who uplifts other women. She’s an exemplary role model. My 15 year old daughter, who doesn’t like to read much, read it in a day and a half and LOVED it! There is some coarse language and some mild sexual content. If someone wants to read this book, they can handle all of that. I hope she writes another book!

I encourage the opportunity to treat yourself and read her story, Becky is one of the good ones.
