Even in his heyday in wrestling, Jacobs was inspired to pursue politics by popular libertarian figures such as former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, Republican Senator Rand Paul, Fox News' Judge Andrew Napolitano and others, and that led him to fulfill his own political ambitions. The wrestler-turned-politician hasn't hung up his wrestling boots yet. Politics is a contact sport and Jacobs is using his wrestling skills in that arena. Jacobs supports President Trump and his agenda, and is implementing conservative policies in Tennessee.

Story
For decades, wrestling was shrouded in secrecy. It had larger-than-life personalities, bone-crunching physicality and jaw-dropping theatrics, but backstage, it was an industry devoid of outsiders. Then in 1999, after working together on a special for MTV, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson turned to 26-year-old television writer Brian Gewirtz and asked, “You ever consider writing for WWE?” That question, and its answer, would have a profound effect on both of their lives for years to come. There's Just One Problem is a story about perseverance, tenacity, and steel chairs.

In 1997, World Championship Wrestling was on top. It was the number-one pro wrestling company in the world, and the highest-rated show on cable television. Each week, fans tuned in to Monday Nitro, flocked to sold-out arenas, and carried home truckloads of WCW merchandise. Sting, Bill Goldberg, and the New World Order were household names. Superstars like Dennis Rodman and KISS jumped on the WCW bandwagon. It seemed the company could do no wrong.

Nitro is a story about much more than WCW and the Monday Night Wars. It is a story of an era, a time in which the media and cultural landscape precipitated - and later supported - pro wrestling's mainstream popularity. It is a story of how a company made in the image of an intuitively brilliant risk-taker betrayed its original promise. It is a story of how a handful of men, each struggling with their own limitations, facilitated a public obsession that changed television forever.

Publisher's Summary
World Wrestling Entertainment has named Chris Jericho one of the top 10 wrestlers - and one of the top five talkers - of all time. Certainly, the past six years have been spectacular for Jericho. After a sluggish return from his 2005 sabbatical, Jericho found new inspiration in watching No Country for Old Men. and completely reinvented his character - ultimately going on to capture three world WWE titles.
The Best in the World chronicles some of the incredible and often preposterous highlights of Jericho's recent career, including how Mickey Rourke challenged Jericho to a match then backed out; his escape from the 2010 Icelandic volcanoes in a broken-down, European rental-car shuttle; his encounters with Bob Barker, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Al Sharpton, and Mike Tyson; and his on-again, off-again relationship with WWE chief Vince McMahon.

Great listen, it was funny how the narrator pronounced Mike Chioda and calling Mysterio's 619 the Six Nineteen lol. but I don't blame the narrator if they are not a wrestling fan. but that's me being picky. Great job Mr. Jericho, from Winnipeg, not Toronto!

Among the Best Wrestling Autobiographies
Would you consider the audio edition of The Best in the World to be better than the print version?
Yes because I only had to listen.
What other book might you compare The Best in the World to and why?
Mick Foley's books. They are very similar in humor and story telling.
Which character – as performed by Roger Wayne – was your favorite?
Chris Jericho of course.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did listen in one sitting and enjoyed it immensely.
Any additional comments?
Drinking orange juice while listening to tales of a wrestler's trunks coming off mid-match can be painful to your sinuses.

Good book -- Jericho is a bit of a jerk -- but good read
Good book for the wrestling fan. Lots of good stuff from one of the greatest ever. But some of the routine out-of-the-ring antics of "The Best in the World at What He Does" really shines a light on why he makes such a great on-camera villain.

Quite fun and an entertaining
okay so I'm at the biggest wrestling fan anymore but I quite enjoyed the book. As it's quite decently well written and is more about Chris Jericho as a person more then the wrestler. Although I do wish audible had more of the older books as some of the ones from The attitude era we're quite good. If you're a fan of wacky and interesting stories then you will probably enjoy the book. Even if your not a fan of wrestling; still might enjoy the book as it's quite amusing and entertaining.

Loved it! Chris Jericho has been a major influence in my life. 2 weeks before my dad passed away I won an autographed FOZZY CD by answering a question on WWE Byte this. The day of the funeral came and before I left out I checked the mail and man let me tell you his album All that remains was the only thing I listened to for a year. This book and his others are all incredible and full of amazing stories! Worth the read and listen

Chris has definitely crammed a lot into his life. His ability to tell his stories makes listening to this book so enjoyable to listen to it over and over again. It's like sitting with a buddy listening to him tell the same stories again and again and loving them as much as the first time you heard it. Great job Chris!
