Bestseller in the UK, Sunday Times, April 2024

By age seven, Rebecca Quin, now known in the ring as Becky Lynch, was already defying what the world expected of her.

Raised in Dublin, Ireland in a devoutly Catholic family, Rebecca constantly invented new ways to make her mother worry - roughhousing with the neighbourhood kids, getting older and 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 deep love of wrestling as a child set her on an unlikely path. With few female athletes to look to for guidance, Rebecca pursued a wrestling career hoping to change the culture and move away from the antiquated disrespect so often shown directed at the elite female athletes that 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, personal, and honest depiction of the complex woman behind the character Rebecca Quin plays on TV, and a fascinating insight into the world of professional wrestling.

Product description

Book Description

This compelling and deeply personal memoir from WWE superstar Rebecca Quin - AKA The Man, AKA Becky Lynch - delves into Quin's earliest wrestling days, her scrappy beginnings, and her meteoric rise to fame.

About the Author

Irish-born wrestler Rebecca Quin, who uses the ring name Becky Lynch, has become one of the most widely known names in all of WWE over the past few years. Initially working in Ireland, and occasionally teaming with her brother, she soon began wrestling across Europe and North America on the independent circuit for various promotions. She signed a contract with WWE in 2013, assigned to the developmental territory at NXT. Following her push to WWE's main roster, she became the inaugural SmackDown Women's Champion at Backlash 2016 and has held the title four times. In 2018, Lynch transitioned to a more aggressive character starting at SummerSlam, when she attacked Charlotte Flair, presenting herself as an unfairly treated underdog and dubbing herself "The Man", resulting in a large increase in her popularity. In 2019, she won a Royal Rumble match, and at WrestleMania 35 won both the Raw Women's Championship and SmackDown Women's Championship, making her the first woman to hold both titles simultaneously and a four-time WWE women's champion. With her WWE Women's Tag Team Championship win in 2023, she became WWE's Sixth Women's Triple Crown Champion.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Woman's wrestling"
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2024

Sometimes, I buy into the so much that I actually think this is who they are. I have gotten used to seeing WWE superstars come back from all darts of things, perform at yhf highest levels, in front of millions. I forget that they are human. It is just recently that one of the top stars had a panic attack before going out at Wrestlemsnia.

This book is brilliantly written, showing not just the physical and political struggles that must be overcome, but the mental side as well. In this book, Rebecca Quin shows the difference between her and the indestructible Becky Lynch. "The Man" Becky Lynch can say what she wants, do what she wants, but Rebecca has to deal with the repercussions of the mental and physical scars.

The book covers her early life to her start in pro-wrestling, to the new crop of women and thinking that has changed women's wrestling from a beauty contest ripping off each other's clothes to being equal (in some cases better) than the men. The trails and tribulations of her life. Her relationships with friends, family, lovers, and co-workers.

This is a great book, a great story of a great person. Following her dreams, the pitstops along the way, the obstacles, the highs, and lows, but it is her battles with her own self-doubt and lack of confidence that are most impressive. A great insight into the mindset athletes, entertainers, performers, and anyone who is successful needs.

It is a strange but honest read. Strange because she looks remarkably happy and comfortable with all the positive attitude. She tells the battle she has had with health, self esteem and image. It goes through the many stages of her life. Her love of her Dad is evident with the ultimate wish that Roux would have met him. Well worth a read to all

I adored this book. I'll admit to having had the stereotypical view of female wrestling, but this rags to riches story has such depths of self-doubt and loneliness and such insights into the multi-layered world of character and performance in a dangerous and physical world that I got a whole new perspective. The friendships, the strain on family and the inside view of the business captivated me. I currently have a downer on "Becky Lynch" as she keeps beating my favourite 🙁 but putting it in the context of an epic story helps a lot!

I loved this book. The way that she tells her story is equal parts funny and honest. The behind the scenes wrestling parts are super interesting but even if you aren't a WWE fan you could easily find this book entertaining and take something from it.

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Just An Average Wrestling Book
Reviewed in the United States on 5 April 2024

I've read several wrestling books over the years and enjoyed them. I love reading about the business and the behind the scenes stuff. Those books, in my opinion, didn't have the humor like this one did.

This was an enjoyable read and, at times, was funny. It was also admirable on how open Becky was about her struggles in this business and how she never gave up.

If you're a wrestling fan, I recommend this book.
