WWE alumnus Ken Patera is set to release his autobiography. PWInsider reports that Patera, a former WWWF Intercontinental Champion, is in the final stages of writing his autobiography. The initial draft is reportedly in the range of 600 pages and is co-written by Simon Gregory.
The book is currently being edited and will be released through Kenny Casanova’s WOHW publications.
– The site also reports that the audiobook for Jon Moxley’s memoir Mox was released on Tuesday. Moxley is the narrator for the audiobook, which was originally published in written form in November of 2021. The book is described as follows:
A vivid trip through the mind of the top professional wrestler in the business—a nobody from nowhere who achieved his ambitions and walked away with the gold and the girl of his dreams.
Ride alongside Jon Moxley as he retraces some of the highways traveled on his remarkable journey. Revel in the never-before-told stories about his early life in Cincinnati, Ohio; the gritty independent wrestling scene where he cut his teeth; the complicated corporate landscape of the WWE where he bucked against authority; and the rebellious upstart AEW, where he won the championship in 2020 and was finally free to achieve the vision of the wrestler he’d always wanted to be.
With plenty of pitstops and revelatory insights, including grisly ultraviolent encounters, crazy characters who became lifelong friends, and his unforgettable matches in Japan, MOX is the riveting account of the life of a brawler. It is a tale written in blood and soaked in debauchery, with a good dose of wisdom accumulated along the way.
More than a backstage pass into the arena, MOX is a ticket into the ring. Once inside, you’ll never look at pro wrestling the same again.
