101 WWE Matches To See Before You Die
Professional wrestling is not what it once was. Kayfabe is dead; the internet is in full swing; old habits die hard. The time has come to reassess the industry’s identity.
101 WWE Matches To See Before You Die hopes to do just that, challenging orthodox preconceptions of the world’s greatest performance art.
The methodology is select 101 matches from WWE history that highlight the most important issues permeating professional wrestling today. But don’t call them match reviews. These are moral, historical, philosophical must-read muses of must-see art that will enrich your experience as a follower of WWE; question your responsibilities as a fan; ponder your right to be a critic; present a new, different way to watch professional wrestling; and, ultimately, challenge your existing ideas of what professional wrestling can be at its very core.

I loved this. As a lifelong WWE fan I've been waiting for a book like this for a long time. It feels like it was written especially for me. It's not a countdown of the greatest matches but more an in depth look at 101 matches that encompass all the different facets of WWE. There are a few odd choices in there (Jake Roberts vs Rick Martel blindfold match being the oddest) but for each there is a detailed and justified reason for it's inclusion. An engrossing and addictive read that is never anything less than compelling. I'll definitely be revisiting it in the near future.
