Summary: Great Recipes and a Great Read. Recommended
Review: A must have if you're a wrestling/WWF fan or if you're looking for some great homestyle/healthy recipes. As a cookbook it is standard to above average with a great mix of recipes from soups, salads, entrees, desserts and drinks.The reading value is awesome if you are a fan of WWF wrestling. Each recipe is contributed by current AND FORMER (Hillbilly Jim, Tony Garea, Freddie Blassie, Black Jack Lanza, etc) WWF stars. Each recipe is forwarded by anecdotes from J.R. The reading is priceless for a true WWF fan. It talks about a lot of the "behind the scenes" stuff with the WWF superstars. Pictures of the WWF superstars decorate this book. Bottom line, if you are a wrestling fan, this book is must have reading (and dining!!!) The recipes themselves are great and for the most part are simple. Coming from athletes, most of the dishes are very healthy so if you're looking for some healthy, yet tasty recipes, this book will do it for you. A wide variety of dishes and flavors decorate this book since the WWF superstars come from various backgrounds. There's a ton of chicken and steak recipes in here. One of our personal favorites is Kane's Red Velvet Cake. All in all a great investment, particularly if you're a wrestling fan. Even if you're not, the easy to follow recipes and wide variety of recipes make this a keeper :) Plusses: - Stories of the wrestlers - Great pictures of the wrestlers - Appearances by many former WWF superstars for nostalgists. - Healthy recipes (wrestlers are fitness/health freaks - Simple, yet delicious sounding recipes - A wide selection of cooking styles and dishes Minuses: - They are none. This is "That Damn Good."

Summary: Oh yeah now we are cookin
Review: As a true WWF fan, I think that this is a must for your collection. If you told me (before I bought this book) that I would get a kick out of reading a cook book, i would look at you like you were crazy!
Gimme a break how could cooking be fun? You try to keep a smile from spreading over your face, as you read JRs intros to every recepie. Who knows if these recepies come from the stars themselves?
but hey who cares, it's a fun way to get people cookin' The recepies themselves seem pretty good! Alot of things I never dreamed I would cook (HHH sword fish for example) it turned out great!
and if I can do it anyone can! So get off that chair, get in the kitchen, and lets see what The Rock and the others are cookin...... Go on!!!!..... before I stun ya!

Summary: My husband is now doing the cooking
Review: As a wrestling fan, and a food fan, this was a must own for me, and it should be for you too! There isn't much to say about this book, except for the fact that it has some great recipes, some fairly good recipes, some not so good recipes, and some awful recipes. Some of my personal favorite recipes are for Tazz's Red Hook Garlic Bread, Grilled Steak Benoit, and Stone Cold Steve Austin's Texas (French) Toast. Some of the worst recipes are some of the cookie recipes (I think by Saturn or Big Bossman) which consist of "Buy your favorite premade cookie dough. Heat oven to temperature on packaging. Put cookie dough on cookie tray. Put tray in oven for time indicated on packaging. Eat" Yeah, thanks guys. Amazing recipe there. Anyway, its a good little cookbook, nothing amazing though. If you're a WWF fan and you have a kitchen, you should own this book.

Summary: WHAT IS JR COOKING?
Review: He's compiled a bunch of worthless recipes written by community college cooks with wrestler's names used as credit. Geez JR, do you have anything better to od in your time besides sounding like an old has been loser on the air like Ron Santo? Where are the Trish Stratusfaction Poontang pie formulas? I'd eat her pie out! I'm sure this book instead has the Stone Cold Sausage Fest Snausages (YES< SNAUSAGES!) for all you homoerrotic wrasslin fans out there. I'd rahter eat Kane's Candy Kanes then read this terrible cookbook... better than bradshaw's money making book!

Summary: Fatboy Ross
Review: I guess everybody has to have some kind of book just like everybody has a t-shirt or action figure in the WWE. It is the new fad. Unfortunately dimwitted folks like Jim Ross and Triple H can't write real books, so an inbred Okie like Ross has to write a stupid cook book filled with 'The Superstars' best recipes (AKA stuff that anyone can make that they just labeled their name to) Gee Kurt Angle American Pie, wow does Mark Henry's buttered toast come after that. Oh gee I can't wait till the second book, that will no doubt tackle the tough recipes such as how to microwave Swanson TV Dinners, make 3 minute microwavable pasta and how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. No doubt this will be a gripping book that the world will be waiting for. And I am sure Jim Ross will put his clever 1850's barnyard Western catch phrases used by folks such as Lincoln. Wow, what brilliant literature! Oh gee golly gee, I can't wait till Triple H's bobybuilding picture book with the small captions comes out about how to drink Y2J Stinger in the Summer! YES! BRILLIANT! GENIUS! Yeah they are really breaking ground in the WWE with some of these fabulous books! But don't be upset if have wasted your hard earned money on this book, because I know everybody has that chair or coffee table that is kind of weak and Jim Ross's Cookbook is fabulous for holding up that table or chair in special need of better balance.

Summary: Stunner!
Review: I've been steadily working my way through the recipes in this book for the last few weeks--a different treat to go with every WWF RAW show. Frankly, I'm surprised at how good most of the recipes are; I expected this cookbook to just be another way for the WWF to make a cheap extra buck off wrestling's current popularity. Down-home treats like meatloaf and chicken fried steak share equal time with unexpected delights like merlot sorbet and breakfast quiche, so there's lots to choose from for all palates. The Tex-Mex recipes are at least as spicy as the titles would lead you to believe--Stone Cold's simmering sauce is more likely to stomp a mudhole in your tastebuds than in your steak. Ingredients tend to go for convenience over taste, so bottled gravy, packaged mixes, canned soup, and jello are frequently listed; a few recipes do focus of fresh veggies, rice, and low-fat cooking methods. It's obvious the editors had fun matching recipes with wrestlers; you gotta love Edge and his party meatballs(awesome!), but it's hard to believe Vince would actually be caught dead eating the cool-whip concoction known as "Millionaire Pie". The flavor text that introduces each recipe is the real treat for wresting fans--background information on road agents, old time greats, and mid-card guys living it up in the Ohio valley is great fun to read, and with JR's personal writing style, it's like you're catching up with old friends. The combination of wrestling history, great photos of the stars, and pretty simple recipes make this a great first cookbook for young fans, while WWF collectors will love a new addition to the ubiquitous action figures and t-shirts.

Summary: oohh...a cookbook
Review: Pass on this. It's the same as any other kind of cookbook
out there and I'm sure the recipies came straight from
Betty Crocker. The only hook is trying to claim that
varied WWF wrestlers gave their own secret reipies for
this..and conviently the foods match those of the
wrestlers just perfectly (the APA beer bread? Kurt
Angle's all american apple pie? how convient)
Get a real cookbook and skip over this one

Review: So JR knows how it feels to be made fun of, well with this self-published piece of crap, he certainly will now. Kane should set this thing on fire next.

Summary: Can You Smell What's Cookin'?
Review: This cookbook [...] commentary is worth its weight in gold for any WWF fan. I'm not sure the recipes rank up there in my top 50 favorites (in fact, I haven't tried most of them)...but the commentary is so hilarious, so absolutely right, that I can't stop smiling whenever I read it. Thus, Chyna's (fairly ordinary) recipe for guacamole "explains why she is the ninth wonder of the world." Even WWF head Vince McMahon is represented. He's got a really interesting recipe for "Grilled Grapefruit" that I haven't tried, but want to do so. It requires very large grapefruits--and the off-color commentary that accompanies the recipe--well--you have to read it. Of course all of the WWF superstars are represented, from Stone Cold Steve Austin to Triple H et al. In addition to the raucous, ribald addenda to the recipes are pictures of the stars that you have to see to believe (check out Chyna's just-this-side-of-decent portrait on her guacamole page, for instance). Open this book, and you can just hear Jim "J.R." Ross touting the recipes in his overloud, overexcited way: "Did you see THAT? I can't BELIEVE IT!" Buy it for the sheer exuberance. You may like the recipes, you may not, but this book is a bowlful of fun.
Hey, Rock! Wait for me! I can smelllll whatssss cookin'!!![....]

Summary: This cookbook is pretty bad
Review: Who needs to know how to make coffee, if you don't get the WWF Cookbook. It has a couple of good recipes, but most of it is food you probably already know how to make.
