About this listen

 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.©2024 Rebecca Quin (P)2024 Hachette Audio UK Entertainment & Celebrities Sports Women Celebrity Combat Sports Wrestling

I knew the journey in the ring very well already. What a fantastic book that tells the other side of that story.

A riveting, wonderful tale of an amazing woman. Lived the narration, Becky had me laughing, crying, sobbing at times and on the edge of my seat listening to her tales.

Heartfelt reading from the author

Absolutely incredible story recounted in every important detail by the man herself. She is my favourite current wrestler and having both the print of the book and the audio of her reading it, I feel as if I have cemented Becky Lynch into the tile of 'My Favourite Wrestler of All Time.'

Will be reading through again with audiobook to tag the important parts and once I've gone through it a third time to double check everything. My goal is to get a hardcover and get Rebecca to sign it.

If you are a fan of Wrestling either modern day or past, this is the story for you. If you are someone who maybe doesn't like wrestling but stands for women changing how the world works, trust me, worth spending the time listening to how a single woman made the women's division in WWE change the idea of women in both massive businesses and sport in general.

I love becky and her family and have found a better appreciation of what she has done by reading this. 5 stars for the man.

Great in depth story

This was the first audiobook I’ve listened to and I can’t understate how pleased I was to opt for this version. No, it’s not signed or filled with pictures (I guess?) or wrapped in a tasteful hardcover- but it was like being invited into a cozy den for a candid conversation with Becky. I smiled and laughed and cried as she shared her story and I can’t thank her enough for putting her bravery, perseverance and most importantly, vulnerability on display for the world.

A coming of age story (albeit in your 20s-30s)

Absolutely loved it!
It gave a great insight into the wrestling world and how much hard work you put into your matches and as a gay woman I may now be in love with Seth Friggin Rollins!
Great memoir, very relatable and makes you want to go back and watch the matches leading up until today.

I think the man is my mami
