5.0 out of 5 stars Best WWE book released a must for any WWE fan 2 April 2009
By Lee J. Ridgard
Format:Hardcover
About time the first ever comprehensive non kayfabe WWE encyclopaedia it covers absolutely everything from the Superstars/Divas, Matches, TV shows and more that have taken place from the 60's to present day it has more than 700 WWE entries and 2500 plus rare/common pictures.
It gives in depth information on every subject there is even a page that includes a Chris Benoit article and also cover other touchy subjects such as the 1997 Survivor Series Montreal incident involving Bret "Hitman" Hart and Shawn Micheals etc, this is a must have for any WWE fan it will settle many arguments between fans about events that have occurred in the history of the company.
There are a few things that I have found missing and these are Fake Diesel (Played by Kane), Fake Razor Ramon which I find weird as they acknowledged they weren't the originals on TV and for some reason there is no mention of the Superstars TV program that ran through the 90's I imagine superstars was just missed out by mistake and will be in a second edition somewhere down the line but I believe the missing out of the fake diesel and Razor is due to kayfabe issues or something so that wont likely be rectified.
This book has become a number one best seller in the USA's New York Times under the Sports category after only being on the shelves for a week.
Well worth the purchase
10/10

5.0 out of 5 stars The bible of the WWE 14 Jun 2009
By R. Wood TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
For almost fifty years, World Wrestling Entertainment has been the wrestling promotion that has never faltered. Where promotions like the NWA, AWA, WCW and ECW may have become defunct, WWE still stands. While it has never always been on top, it's always survived for better or worse. It's evolved from the World Wide Wrestling Federation to the World Wrestling Federation to finally World Wrestling Entertainment. And in those fifty years, it has such a rich history. So many colourful characters, so many prizes, innovative/pioneering matches/concepts/storylines all proudly belong to the WWE. Many a wrestling legend can proudly say that their finest career moments took place in this organization and many more wrestlers would say they'd love to compete at a WrestleMania. WWE is undoubtedly the most colourful wrestling promotion today and the sheer scale of everything it produces and represents is immense.

To try and sum all that up in a book would surely be next to impossible. Yet Kevin Sullivan and Brian Shields have done just that with WWE Encyclopedia, a truly mammoth book that's over three hundred and sixty pages and absolutely PACKED with information about the WWE, it's earlier incarnations, all it's major legends, great superstars, veterans, jobbers, tag-teams, factions, managers, announcers, Divas past-and-present, championship belts (active and defunct), pay-per-views, TV shows, merchandise, match-types and WrestleMania.

Those who've purchased the great big Encyclopedias for the Marvel and DC universes will know just how utterly in-depth they were. And it's the same here. DK have published yet another fascinating, big, beefy book that won't disappoint fans at all. All the information presented here is just so vast and chronicles all the major stuff that people need to know.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars very pleased 29 Nov 2011
By margaret
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my grandsons 14th birthday, not knowing much about the subject myself although the book looked very good, I showed it to my Son it took me a while to get it back off him he was most impressed and my Gran dson on his birthday was over the moon. It came well packaged and very quick. I would probably say more about it if I could get it off my Grandson long enough to have a proper look.
