I am TMIB, The Man In Black. I sit high atop my lair observing the wrestling world. In this BLOG I discuss the happenings in the WWE and TNA. This week I wanted to do a book review. Cross-Rhodes: Goldust Out Of The Darkness came out on December 14th hot off the press. It's available at a Book store near you or on your Kindle.
My wife and I was given the Kindle version by a very special friend. I read the book and honestly it it was an easy read. I've never meet Goldust and set down and chatted about life in the business but this is what it felt like. I sat down and chatted about his career and his life. He takes credit for the good and the bad. He doesn't make excuses like others have.
The book covers a lot...it allows us into his adolescent thoughts about life in general, his father, his mother and his road through life. You are aloud to see the relation between father and son, and the fact that both weren't perfect but found the love they both have for each other out weighed the indifference. Having a dad that was bigger than life to me made this part of the book stand out.
The book gives a point of view from a rookie entering the wrestling world, experiencing the up and downs of the business to a veteran going from push to shove. Let's the new fans know its not all planes and high-class hotels but hard work and hard times. It let's the hardened longtime fan appreciate their favorite wrestlers more.
I believe this book could be a prologue to a series. The chapters in this book could represent a different book. I believe this book gives me as a fan a better understanding not only of Goldust but of Dustin. It shows us he is human and his feeling and emotions are just like ours...real and unique. I as a fan am honored to read it. Thank you Goldust and Dustin
