WWE News: Booker T update

Booker T has signed a deal with Medallion Press to write his autobiography. The book is titled "From Prison to Promise" and will be written along with Andrew William Wright. The press release teases that the book "will detail (Booker's) struggles with family and crime in urban Houston before becoming one of the world’s most recognized and successful athletes." It is tentatively slated to have a September 2012 release.

"I’m at that point in my life where I feel maybe someone else can benefit from hearing what I’ve been through," Booker said in the press release. "You know, whether their parents passed away at an early age, or they got into some serious trouble with the law, there’s no doubt in my mind people will not only relate to what I went through, but maybe I can even help keep some of them from going down the same path."

Powell's POV: This is the same publishing company that is publishing the Road Warrior Animal book that is scheduled for a March 2011 release. The link above will take you to an ad for that book. Booker has an interesting story, and I'm curious to see how much pro wrestling he talks in the book and just how open he is about his career.
