Summary: Awesome
Review: I loved this book. It's written by someone who knows what he's talking about, and I found it extremely well-researched. It's also surprisingly funny. Slammin' knows not to take wrestling too seriously, yet pays fitting tribute to the talented athletes who perform in the sport. Highly recommended.

Summary: Decent Enough
Review: This Book gives a good Bio of many of the Stars but Mr Hofstede
makes too many mistakes or leaves out details.Here are two:
He says that the Giant got dropped on his head at Souled 97 but
it actually occurred on January 24 at WCW/NWO Souled Out.He also
when mentioning the Owen Hart/Steve Austin Incident forgets to
point out it was a Tombstone Piledriver, not a Regular Piledriver.Before this Person ever writes another book on
Wrestling, I Suggest he Watch every WWF,WCW, and ECW Pay-Per-
View to make damn sure he gets his dates and times right.

Summary: Good Read but Marred by Numerous Errors
Review: This book was definitely interesting to read, but being a long-time fan of pro-wrestling I didn't learn a lot from it. There are numerous errors in the book, too numerous to list. The author's choice of wrestlers to write about is a little strange - No lenglth mention of Eddie Guerrero, Ricky Steamboat, The Steiner Brothers, Juventud Guerra, Billy Kidman, Booker T, etc. No ECW, Japanese or Mexican wrestlers (referring to promotion, not race) are profiled.However, for beginning fans of pro-wrestling, this book is definitely a good read. You won't notice the errors but will learn a lot about the way the business works. A good read, but a lot of the information is available for free if you look around on the internet.
