Wrestling Unmasked: Ripping the Mask off the Crime, Politics and Intrigue Beyond the Ring

by WrestleTalk Books, Oli Davis (Foreword), Dave Bradshaw (Contributor)

Dive deep into the world of wrestling like never before. Wrestling Unmasked isn't about the high-flying moves and dramatic storylines you see on TV. It's an exploration of the sport's intricate dance with social and political issues, both inside and outside the ring. From the WWE’s controversial handling of the Chris Benoit tragedy to the ongoing debate surrounding unionisation in professional wrestling, this book unflinchingly delves into the heart of the matters that have shaped and continue to influence the dynamic world of Sports Entertainment. But Wrestling Unmasked is more than just a book about wrestling. It's a reflection on society, a critique of its institutions, and a testament to the resilience of those who fight both in and out of the ring. Join us on a journey where the real drama unfolds not in scripted battles, but in the real world struggles and triumphs that have defined a sport. Prepare to see professional wrestling in a way you've never seen before.

[Steven Streeter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another good book from Wrestletalk. Because of the nature of the work - pieces collated from a magazine - some is a little dated, but still an enjoytable enough read and quite interesting all up.
