"Bobby the Brain: Wrestling’s Bad Boy Tells All" by Ray Heenan
"Chair Shots" also by Heenan
"In the Pit With Piper" by Roddy Piper
"I Ain’t Got Time to Bleed" by Jesse Ventura
"Pure Dynamite" by Tom Billington (a.k.a. Dynamite Kid)
"Have a Nice Day" by Mick Foley
I tend to gravitate towards books NOT authored by current stars, as they tend to sugarcoat and kiss ass to maintain good business relationships.
Every book is slanted and biased one way or another, but Heenan’s seem to be the fairest.
He doesn’t want to work anymore, has a good relationship with the McMahon’s, but doesn’t rely on anyone for anything, so there’s no ass kissing. And his writing style is hillarious.
Piper – in typical Hot Rod fashion – writes a good bit of his book in character, which is a bit irritating at times (such as when he wrestles the bear). At the time he was not working for Vince, and had some very nasty things to say about him. Of course a few months later Vince booked him in an tag team angle with Flair.
Jesse Ventura’s book deals with a lot of politics, as he wrote it while serving as Governor of MN. His wrestling memoirs are pretty interesting.
Dynamite Kid is extremely candid and lets loose on everyone and everything, especially his cousin Davey Boy. Dyno worked the wildly popular 80’s and has lots of stories focusing on cocaine, steroids, pain killers, etc. Lots of accounts of working in Japan, Canada, and WWF.
Talks in depth about Vince, the Harts, Davey Boy Smith, Brutus Beefcake, Macho Man & Elizabeth, Tiger Mask (Sayama), and a whole slew of others.
This is my favorite book.
