One of the nice things since the WWE has relabeled itself as sports entertainment, (if you like that sort of thing, and I do) is the autobiographies of some of the stars of the ring.  They are fairly honest about what goes on.  Reys’ Uncle was a wrestler and Rey trained with him starting at around 7 or 8.  He was able to start wrestling professionally at around 14 or 15.  Rey talks at length about the tradition of the mask in lucha libre and how important his heritage is to him and what the mask means to him.  He talks of his friendship with the late Eddie Guerrero and how much Eddie helped him.  If you like wrestling this will appeal to you, if you don’t probably not.  Grade-B
