Product Description
Product Description
Cross Rhodes is the story of one of the most famous families in the history of the WWE, as told by Dustin Rhodes, first son of the legendary Dusty Rhodes, and older brother of emerging star, Cody Rhodes. As a young boy, Dustin tried to find himself while growing up in his father's shadow. Dusty wanted his son to play football, mostly to avoid the brutal business that was making him famous. But Dustin wanted nothing more than to follow his father into the world of professional wrestling. It wasn't until the middle of a painful five-year estrangement between father and son that Dustin finally stepped out of his father's boots - literally - and made a name for himself as Goldust. But for Dustin, the dark edges of the controversial character became a matter of art imitating life, and despite an emotional reunion with his father, redemption and rehabilitation were still well down the line...

I've read just about every bio/autobiography out there by past and present WWE stars and this ranks rock bottom among them by a fair distance. Kudos to the previous reviewer who counted the empty pages and lack of any real substance in this book, I can only echo this. I can't even recommend this to people who love wrestling bio/autobiographies as there's so many better books out there. And if you really are a Goldust fan, you'll know everything and more that's contained in these (not very many) pages anyways.
Pick up Bret Hart or Chris Jericho's first book (A Lions Tale) if you want a decent read.

honestly, the worst wrestling book i've ever read. very little depth (save time and money and read his wikipedia page) and so many errors (says he wrestled in TNA in the 90s, TNA wasnt formed until 2001). I've actually come away from reading this book with a little less respect for Dustin Rhodes. The book is full of self-praise and the some of the last few pages is just ass-kissing to the big names in WWE. Feels like it was written by a 10 year old in places and doesnt deserve place on your book shelf next to decent books like Flairs, Harts, Jerichos or Regals. The only wrestling book i forced myself to finish.
STAY AWAY!!

Obviously ghost written by someone with no real feel for pro wrestling, hence the references to 'Brett' Hart and Dustin joining 'TNA' in the early 90s. Presumably he meant to say WCW. Rhodes was the son of one of the most successful stars of the era, and competed in WWE and WCW during one of the most exciting and controversial times there has ever been to be a wrestling fan. The book is a missed opportunity to provide some fascinating insights. Most fans who have so much as read Dustin Rhodes's Wikipedia page could have gone away and written a better book than this without having even met the man. A typical lazy WWE book which insults the intelligence of the fans.

Not good...
Terribly written....and a boring read. I like Dustin Rhodes but his book sucks. Probably the worst WWE book I've read, and I read the Chyna book.

Goldie looking wrestler
Not really an indepth bio to that of the likes of bret hart and the hulkster but still a really good read and a bargain price at the time - if you dig goldust then buy this book.

A real disappointment...
Goldust is one of my all-time favourite characters: His pre-debut vignettes were fantastic and he was one of the WWF's most original creations. Read more

Worst wrestling book ever. Worst autobiography ever.
This is the first time I have been moved to write a review on Amazon, and it is because I am very annoyed that I actually paid money for this book. Read more
