Historia
One of WWE's most unlikely champions of all time and also one of its most popular, Bryan has proved to the world and to all of WWE that looks can be deceiving. Just ask anyone who's ever underestimated him . . . right before he went out and whipped the WWE universe into a frenzy. This is Bryan's behind-the-scenes story told for the first time ever by the "YES!" Man himself---from his beginnings as a child wanting to wrestle to his ten years circling the globe on the independent circuit and his remarkable climb to the upper ranks of WWE.

He’s Terry Funk, and this is his story. In this captivating look at the life of a living legend, Funk opens up about growing up in a wrestling family, working with various entertainment companies (including the ECW, WWE, and WWF), and so much more.

Hardcore but Humble
Revisado: 08-01-17
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this audio book to anybody regardless if they are a fan of wrestling. Terry Funk's journey through wrestling took him all over the world and his experiences are one of a kind.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Terry Funk?
Terry Funk gives many examples of how wrestlers would "rib" or play pranks on random strangers during road trips. The stories would make you cringe in disbelief or laugh uncontrollably,
What about Jeremy Arthur’s performance did you like?
Jeremy made me forget that Terry Funk was not the one reading to me. He was great.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes!
Any additional comments?
This story was not about a wrestler who lost everything and had a happy ending. This is about a normal man from Texas that had an amazing career in wrestling, battled difficulties and still managed to stay humble along the way.

Historia
Sixteen years ago Vin Baker was an NBA All-Star, an Olympic Gold medalist, and a multimillionaire. While he excelled on the court, Vin harbored a dark secret: a dependency on drugs and alcohol that began after the clean-cut preacher's son turned pro. Eventually becoming a full-blown yet functional alcoholic, Vin convinced himself he played better under the influence - until his addiction cost him his basketball career, his fortune, and his health. But Vin's story isn't a tragic fall from grace. It is a joyous tale of salvation.

Where does God and Starbucks rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is not the best audiobook I have listened to but the narrator's great storytelling made this a great listen.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Vin Bakers father was my favorite character because he plays such a big part in his life and he always remained a pillar of support for him.
Which character – as performed by Arnell Powell – was your favorite?
Arnell Powell is so talented he made every character a favorite.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The part where Vin describes his lowest point living alone and drinking all day. This part was just depressing and painful, at times it made me want to stop listening. Arnell Powell can make the listener feel like he or she is the one in that situation.
Any additional comments?
Great book.

Historia
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

What does Trevor Noah bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
