Not as good as the original Wrestlecrap book and slightly repetetive but an enjoyable enough read.

Book of oddly numbered lists
24 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
The boys over at Wrestlecrap.com have gone through their database, collect and organized many of the worst ideas, characters, and storylines throughout wrestling history to form the WrestleCrap Book of Lists. If you visit the website, you know what it is all about, this book simply organized many of those dreaded concepts and people into an easy to read and pretty darn hilarious format. I'm not going to compile their lists, you'll just have to trust they all fit and are very funny. You'll disagree on some things but mostly, it's pretty dang close to what we all feel. Some 'facts' of stories may not be entirely accurate (such as around pg 42, The guys say Zybysko blackmailed Dusty with the Baby Doll photos, memory tells me it was Tully Blanchard {Baby Doll was Tully's valet} but well, they have the video library and I don't). There's a good bunch of photos but the best is page 106.
My only beef with the book is that the lists are really pretty oddly numbered. It's not standard Top 10 style but anywhere from a List of 25 to 1. Really guys, 1 entry is not a List. Many stayed in that 7 items range and I would have liked to have had a consistent Top 10 or 15 items per list. Minimum of 5 items in a short list.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll say "WTF were they thinking?". Read it, enjoy it, and laugh at how stupid wrestling can be. Great job guys.

Let the crap keep on coming!

I got this book opened to a random page and read it. I loved it right away. The writers have a way of writing stuff that is funny but true at the same time. While I dont know there next plan for a book will be, I cant wait to read it. Excellent book and a great companion piece to WrestleCrap: The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling. If you enjoy wrestling books that are honest and not penned by WWE wrestlers or Scott Keith, then this book is for you.

A few laughs but generally not recommended
24 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had picked up the previous WrestleCrap books, and am a frequest visitor of the website. The death of WCW book was, in my opinion, one of the most interesting and worthwhile books on wrestling available. Informative, detailed, and well written, it was a thorough analysis of the failure of WCW.
This book, however, is quite the opposite. Of course it is not meant to be a serious book, it is meant to be humorous, but even the humor is rare.
What particularly struck me was the vulgarity (particularly references to female body parts), which seemed completely unnecessary. Though some of the lists were funny (the best mullets list in particular) many of them seemed like filler, others were just infantile and disturbing (though wrestling is often infantile - not to mention disturbing - so maybe I shouldn't be surprised)
Also many things in the book, though likely meant to be humorous, come off as being harsh and mean-spirited.
Probably best to avoid this book.
