WWE Legends

Rate this book
WWE Legends gives fans an inside look at more than fifty of the greatest wrestlers ever to slip between the ropes and enter the “squared circle.”

They were World Heavyweight Bob Backlund, Superstar Billy Graham, and Bruno Sammartino. They were fan “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka, Chief Jay Strongbow, and Andre the Giant. They were the villains everyone loved to Killer Kowalski, Ernie Ladd, and the Fabulous Moolah. They were ethnic heroes, someone just like you that you could cheer Ivan Putski, Pedro Morales, Peter Maivia. They were the stars that shined the brightest, and left an indelible mark on the memories of countless fans.

In a time when professional wrestling was divided into territories, no place created bigger Superstars than World Wrestling Entertainment. From the company's centerpiece in Madison Square Garden, legends were born.

WWE Legends is the every fan's guide to the legends of the ring. They are all in here, from Andre the Giant to George “the Animal” Steele, with quick stats and descriptions of their most famous matches. No true wrestling fan should be without this book.

Very uneven. It was good start for Brian, and his later books improved on the good and avoided the mistakes. It is certainly a good intro to pre hogan WW(W)F/E.

Very informative. I've always loved pro-wrestling and I appreciated this history of the WWE during the eras before Hulkamania. Brian Soloman does a great job with this book and I recommend it to any wrestling fan.

I really liked this book and I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in pro wrestling in the early years. The book is a history of the main individuals who helped start pro wrestling. The book had great information on many wrestlers and also had some really cool pictures.
