Becky Lynch

In Conversation with Lauren Ober

  • This event has passed.

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

Quin’s deep love of wrestling as a child set her on an unlikely path. With few female wrestlers to look to for guidance, she pursued a wrestling career hoping to change the culture and move away from the disrespect so often directed at the elite female athletes that grace the ring.

Culled from decades of journal entries, Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl delves into her earliest wrestling days, her scrappy beginnings, and her meteoric rise to fame—offering a raw and honest depiction of the complex woman behind the character played on TV. Quin was the first ever SuperGirls champion, the first SmackDown Women’s Champion, and the first woman to win the main event of WrestleMania.

Lynch will be in conversation with Lauren Ober, a podcast creator, host, and executive producer, most recently of “The Loudest Girl In The World” which was named one of the best shows of 2022 by the CBC and The Atlantic.

All books will be pre-signed by the author. A book signing will follow the event for those who would like their book personalized. Those who have a book will also be able to take a photo with the author. No other memorabilia will be signed during the book signing.
