Becky Lynch celebrates BECKY LYNCH: THE MAN


About this Event

Please join us in welcoming WWE Superstar Rebecca Quin, AKA Becky Lynch, into the store on April 2nd at 6pm for a signing of her autobiography Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl.

In order to attend the signing, you must purchase your book from the Philadelphia Barnes and Noble. We cannot accept copies purchased from Amazon or bookstores other than Barnes and Noble. Copies can be purchased the day of the event, or pre-purchased/reserved through BN.com. If you pre-purchase a copy, please make sure to keep the receipt with your book.

This compelling and deeply personal memoir from WWE superstar Rebecca Quin—a.k.a. The Man, a.k.a. Becky Lynch—delves into her earliest wrestling days, her scrappy beginnings, and her meteoric rise to fame.

By age seven, Rebecca Quin, now known in the ring as Becky Lynch, was already defying what the world expected of her. Raised in Dublin, Ireland in a devoutly Catholic family, Rebecca constantly invented new ways to make her mother worry—roughhousing with the neighborhood kids, hosting secret parties while her parents were away, enrolling in a warehouse wrestling school, nearly breaking her neck and almost kneecapping a WWE star before her own wrestling career even began—and she was always in search of a thrilling escape from the ordinary.

Rebecca’s deep love of wrestling as a child set her on an unlikely path. With few female wrestlers to look to for guidance, Rebecca pursued a wrestling career hoping to change the culture and move away from the antiquated disrespect so often directed at the elite female athletes that grace the ring. Even as a teenager, she knew that she would stop at nothing to earn a space among the greatest wrestlers of our time, and to pave a new path for female fighters.

Culled from decades of journal entries, Rebecca’s memoir offers a raw, personal, and honest depiction of the complex woman behind the character Rebecca Quin plays on TV.
