4.0 out of 5 stars A great book 26 April 2002

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

This is a very interesting book.If you did not know what wrestling is about, it will tell you in an easy way.
They tell you who won the matches and then who won the championship.The reason I did not give it 5 stars was because there was too much information in one paragraph. Even so it was excellent.I would of liked to know a bit more about the wrestlers.

By D. Seibel

Format:Hardcover

I would just like to say that this company has a top notch customer service response dept. I had a problem with my order,not going to go into details. They went above and beyond to rectify and to satisfy me, their customer and ultimately my 9 yr old son which was more important. I would definetely do business with Awesome Books again. Thank you again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for fans of Wrestlemania 15 Jun 2001

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

I couldn't decide whether or not to purchase this book as it is quite expensive and I don't own a DVD player so the DVD is of no use to me. However I decided to go ahead a purchase it as I have been a fan of the WWF (and wrestling in general) since 1987.

It made for fascinating reading being a longtime Wrestlemania fan, as I have watched each Mania since 3, so each little bit of insider info, so long after the events is brilliant.

Where this book really scores is if you are a long time Mania fan, because the style of wrestling reporting up until about 1997 (with the advent of mainstream internet) did not really go behind the scenes.

The only disapointment for me was that the more recent Wrestlemanias didn't seem to have as much insider info, and I can only think that this is because they don't want to upset any of their current stars.

All in all, it is a great book and a wonderful trip down memory lane for this long time fan.
