Book Review: Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl By Rebecca Quin (Gallery Books)

By: Jesse Striewski

I knew going into it I would be reading through WWE star Rebecca Quin’s new biography with that distinct Irish accent of hers in my head the entire time. However I did not know realize just how relatable and likable I would find her as an actual person (and I can’t help but also draw some occasional parallels between her and my wife, who is also of Irish descent).

From an awkward kid with no real trajectory in life (weren’t we all at one point though?), to almost accidentally finding her path in the world of wrestling thanks to an older sibling, and eventually trailblazing her way to the top of the WWE as “The Man” Becky Lynch, there’s no shortage of inspiration for one to unpack with her story, which is no doubt filled with tenacity.

Fans and naysayers of wrestling alike often do not separate the individual in the ring from the actual human beings portraying their respective characters each night. Each and every time a tell-all life story such as The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl comes along, it’s a reminder of just how human these larger than life wrestlers can actually be.
