Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Girl is a powerful punch to the gut—a memoir that doesn’t pull any punches. Rebecca Quin, better known as Becky Lynch, takes us on a rollercoaster ride through her life, from scrappy beginnings to the dazzling spotlight of WWE fame. Quin’s writing is like a sharp elbow drop—direct, honest, and occasionally downright hilarious. She doesn’t shy away from the gritty details—the blood, sweat, and tears that come with being a wrestler. But it’s not just about Manhandle Slams and championship belts. No, this memoir is about defying expectations.
Growing up in Dublin, Ireland, Quin was a rebel with a cause. She reveled in making her mother worry, whether it was roughhousing with neighborhood kids or hosting secret parties while her parents were away. But her true passion? Wrestling. And not just any wrestling—she wanted to change the game for female fighters.
Quin’s journey is a knockout combination of determination, resilience, and sheer guts. From enrolling in a warehouse wrestling school to nearly breaking her neck (and almost kneecapping a WWE star), she fought her way to the top ropes. And when she stepped into the ring as Becky Lynch, The Man, she shattered glass ceilings and left a trail of awe-struck fans in her wake.

But this isn’t just a wrestling story. It’s a battle cry for authenticity. Quin lays bare her struggles with body image, her pre-wrestling days as an Aer Lingus flight attendant, and moments when she acted like a “jerk.”
In a weird way, being left out and underestimated became my biggest blessing. Because I was given nothing, I was above nothing. Therefore, I could make the most of any morsel of an opportunity that came my way.
