4.0 out of 5 stars good Journalistic approach, 22 Jul 2002

By	MR C H Rhodes (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sex, Lies, and Headlocks: The Real Story of Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation (Hardcover)

I had been waiting for this book to come out for a while. A massive history and wrestling buff. This book would be right up my proverbiale. It doesn't disapoint. It is obviously well reserched and has a very impartial feel. It is however a little dry in spots and has no real messgae, but as a resource and piece of factual work and can't fault it. If you are a serious follower of the funked up world of pro wrestling this ones for you. Shame about the cak cover though...

5.0 out of 5 stars BuyThis Book, 12 Aug 2003

By	"russbwhiteoak" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sex, Lies, and Headlocks: The Real Story of Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation (Hardcover)

This is an essential read to any wrestling fan and gives a fantastic insight into the way the business has developed over the years from a variety of small franchises and roadshows into one of the worlds most extravagant, popular and hugely entertaining sports. Not only does this book let the reader in on the history of the WWF (Now WWE) but also takes you on a journey through the beginnings of WCW all the way through to the "Monday Night Wars" that occured in the mid to late nineties. A very enjoyable read that I could not put down and had it finished within two evenings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wrestling's Bible?, 14 Dec 2002

By	"emjay2kay" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sex, Lies, and Headlocks: The Real Story of Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation (Hardcover)

I managed to finish this book very quickly, for two main reasons; It is relatively short, and I couldn't put it down. It is a fascinating book for wrestling fans in general, not just fans of the current product. While at times I found SL&H confusing due to the volume of information thrown at the reader, it didn't hinder my enjoyment. Generally, the book is written very well, however, it was misleading in some places, especially to a new fan, or someone who doesn't know everything about the sport. (The book leads the reader to believe that Mick Foley made his WWF debut in 1997, for example, which is not true.)

The book has taught me a lot about the history of the business, and overall, is an excellent read that despite some poor moments, every wrestling fan should own.
