Undisputed_ How to Become the World Champion in 1,372 Easy Steps - Chris Jericho [1]
And now Chris Jericho has written another book. Not only has he learned all the tricks of the trade, but he’ll be directing his powerful prose and award-winning wit at subjects that A Lion’s Tale left untouched: his incredible run in the WWE, his band Fozzy, the joys of fatherhood, and his memorable tenure on that Duets reality show. Along the way, he’ll shed light and share perspectives on top WWE stars, and, best of all, will chart a memorable course into the mind of Vince McMahon.
Chris will remind readers on more than one occasion that a certain best-selling author/hardcore legend never defeated him in the ring. For that reason alone, I will never admit defeat on the literary battlefield, will never wave the white flag of surrender in the Foley-Jericho war of words. But if a reader happens to laugh a little louder at his words than mine, or finds that his pages turn a little faster and keep them awake a little longer, I’ll try not to protest too much. Because I know Chris Jericho is going to crush this thing. Have fun, enjoy the book, feel free to laugh out loud. I’ll be over here, waving, pretending to be happy, as I think back to the good old days of 1999.

Bonus Foreword
I was talking about the new book while on a WWE tour of Puerto Rico in September of 2010, when Zack Ryder inquired why I hadn’t asked him to write the foreword. When I replied that (a) I had already received a great one from Mick Foley and (b) Zack hadn’t offered, he vowed that he would write one anyway and post it on Twitter for all the world to see.
Funny thing is, when he did, I really liked it, so I decided to include it in this book, unbeknownst to him.
WWWYKI.

When Chris asked that I write the foreword for his new book, I was thrilled. I could write about all the classic matches Chris has had or about all of the championships that he has won, but you’re going to read about that in this book. I’m going to make this foreword a little more personal.
Like yours truly, Chris is a bro from Long Island. Maybe that’s why I instantly became a Jerichoholic in the mid-1990s when he entered my living room via a television screen. I’ll never forget searching for weeks for his WCW action figure; he was the hardest one to find in the set. When I was in ninth grade, I celebrated my birthday at the WWE’s New York restaurant. Who did I pick to be on my cake? You guessed it: Y2J!
When I first started wrestling, I didn’t shave my forearms because Chris didn’t either. (Now I have to shave them because my lady likes me nice and smooth.) Speaking of body hair, Chris Naired my back once after a show. He confessed that it was one of the greatest moments of his career. In closing, whether you like him or not, Chris Jericho is the best in the world at what he does.
Woo Woo Woo. You Know It!
