Synopsis

An exciting account of Amy Dumas—better known under her ring name Lita—and how she become one of the greatest female performers in WWE history.

Taking unexpected risks, daring to do what no one has done before, that's the reality of Amy Dumas, the remarkable woman behind Lita. With only a guidebook for a companion, Amy traveled to Mexico City in the late 1990s to learn about lucha libre, Mexico's professional wrestling. When she returned to the States, she was resolute in her goal to be a professional wrestler.

Amy found people who saw her determination and her heart, and agreed to train her. She met a number of wrestlers who would prove influential in her career. Among them were two North Carolina stars who had just signed with World Wrestling Entertainment—Matt and Jeff Hardy. Amy formed an instant bond with the brothers; their high-flying bravado inspired her own ring style.

It wasn't long before Amy—now christened Lita—joined WWE. She proved to be a pioneer in women's wrestling. It took a broken neck suffered on the set of a television series to stop her...but only temporarily. Lita is the stirring tale of one young woman's amazing journey to the top of WWE.

I did generally enjoy the book. I didn’t know anything about Lita breaking her neck on the set of Dark Angel, or her passion for dogs. She was very honest in the book and wrote a number of things that WWE probably wasn’t thrilled with (her portrayal of Stephanie for example). Lower rating because it......more

While there where things that I loved about this memoir there were things that I couldn’t stand as well. People say you should never meet your heroes and sometimes the same can be said for reading books that they have written. I found a lot of what Amy says throughout the book kind of ridiculous, kn......more
