a bit disappointed with this book as I found too much emphasis was put on matches from the mid 1990's onwards. As a lifelong WWE fan I would have liked a few more matches from the early days of WWE before the PPV era. Here's 7 all time classic matches off the top of my head which should have easily made the list:
1980 Texas Death Match Title v Title, Bob Backlund v Ken Patera
1980 WWE Tag Team Title Match, Wild Samoans v Rick Martel & Tony Garea
1982 Junior Heavyweight Title Match, Dynamite Kid v Tiger Mask
1983 Intercontinental Title Steel Cage Match, Don Muraco v Jimmy Snuka
1984 Bootcamp Match, Sergeant Slaughter v Iron Sheik
1990 WWE Tag Team Title Match Summerslam, Demolition v Hart Foundation
1993 King of The Ring Semi Final Match, Bret Hart v Mr Perfect As I Say that's just 7 off the top of my head, there are many more. I'm not sure why matches like the 40 man Royal Rumble were included as this was probably the worst Rumble match as it clearly didn't work with so many participants. As for including Survivor Series matches, the book has chosen Team Savage v Team HonkyTonk from 1987 when by far the best Survivor matches were the 5 on 5 Tag Team Survivor Matches from 1987 & 1988.

The random order the matches in the book are listed was also slightly offputing. So in summary I think a lot more thought and the opinions of older generation fans would have made this book a lot better.

This barely counts as a book but I put it on hold from the library when I was inebriated. If I had to pick this book up in person from a public library, then you can be damn sure I am going to count it towards my annual book challenge at least.

I think this book was great because it gave good details of the matches that I’ve watched and it also introduced me to ones that I’ve never heard of like bob Backlund vs Stan Hansen in a steel cage match and it also gave details of what happened after the match and before the match and the matches that I’ve watched on tv sounded more brutal than the actual match that you would watch on tv. Things that I would’ve added to the book are a 5 star system to show how many stars that match got(of how good the match was) I would also add interviews with the actual wrestlers and what they thought of the match and what there mind set was. And according to this book the best match of all time is Shawn Michaels vs the undertaker at wrestlemania 25 ( choosen by their peers)which I can agree and disagree on and qualifies as a candidate for the greatest match in the wwe. Great book would recommend for people who want to learn about old matches and for matches that they missed on TV.

Great book listing 100 of the ‘greatest’ matches in WWE history. Most of them you can’t argue with.
Nice review of the matches along with how the match came about and what happened after.
The biggest thing you will learn from this book is the Triple H never puts anyone over and always gets the biggest push & biggest matches despite only being an average wrestler (in my opinion).

I loved this book and being able to relive all those wonderful matches!! The pictures were excellent as were all the descriptions! It made me miss watching wrestling! The 90s and early 2000s were the best times for this sport!! I miss the attitude era!!!
