Phenomenal, drop-dead gorgeous book. The contents are very good, but the true value is in the beautifully printed photos. Highly recommended for any wrestling fan.

A coffee table book with some exceptional behind the scenes photography of the WWE machine in action. Written commentary from some of the featured superstars provides a little insight into the life of a road-weary worker. Very little content to justify the high price of the hardcover, but an interesting conversation piece to keep around for those uninitiated into the bizarre world of wrestling.

Unscripted by Ken Leiker is a fantastic pro wrestling book. You learn what it takes to really make it in the business and you learn how hard it really is and the injuries you have to go through.

Interesting collection of everyday and life stories from WWE personnel, mixed with personal opinions and advices on " sports-entertainment" business. Some bits were quite redundant and uncalled for, although easy to ride, other ones really draw some interest and points to be focused on. Discreet, all in all.
