As a wrestling fan (and someone who lives in the same area they grew up in), I love this book! It has a strong voice and they go in-depth to decisions, regrets, etc. which I really enjoyed!
That being said, this book may be hard to get into for the non-wrestling fan just because I feel like certain things are lost, such as the introduction of Kenny omega, because they do not know who that is. I still say give it a shot though!

Interesting look into the lives of one of the greatest tag teams of all time.

A comprehensive story of how two kids working the California independent wrestling scene innovated the entire business with a few friends.

A thoroughly enjoyable book to read as Matt and Nick take alternate chapters and guide you through their journey from building their own ring in their backyard as teenagers, rising through the independent scene, tours of Japan and eventually meeting a gentleman named Tony Khan and changing the course of wrestling history forever.
If you love independent wrestling or just AEW it's a great insight into the wrestling business, in and out of the ring.

The Young Bucks are not only two of my favorite wrestlers (along with Kenny Omega), but they are also the reason I’ve become such a huge fan of pro wrestling over the past two years (through their “Being the Elite” web series and the role they played in the formation of All Elite Wrestling). I devoured this in a day, as I just couldn’t put it down.

If you’re interested in wrestling, or specially the Bucks, Bullet Club and The Elite then you’ll love this. Hearing the stories and struggles that made Matt and Nick arguable the best tag team on the planet is super interesting and hearing some of the stories from behind the curtain of events we’ll all remember is a winning formula
