Featured review
Must for WWE fans
WWE: Unauthorized takes you from the genesis of the world to the breaking of the "wrestling bubble" in the 21st century. Drawing aside the curtain of hype, pain and glamour, Vince McMahon, Jr. and the WWE are revealed with all the blood and glitz. Vince Russo, WWE writer from 1994-99, who wrote the scripts for the "characters" of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and more, tells about how marketing to the Saturday morning crowd, resulted in the death of Owen Hart. Listen and watch as you learn about the physical and mental risks and rewards to win "the top spot." Watch as contenders in the Backyard Wrestling Federation bash and smash each other with folding chairs, ladders and anything handy. Emulating the "staged" and scripted WWE professional wrestlers - these guys take it on the head - for real! And, don't think that pro wrestling is just for the guys - the "ladies" are here, too. Cindy Bobcat, First Female WWF Hardcore Champion; and, Candace Michelle, wrestler and Playboy cover model share their "hard knocks." Eric Francis, Sports Writer for the Calgary Sun and co-author of Broken Harts traces the up's and down's. ESPN Magazine Senior Writer and co-author of Sex, Lies and Headlocks gives this "old" story a new spin and perspective.
Whether you remember Killer Kowalski or are brand new to professional wrestling, WWE: Unauthorized invites you to look behind the public curtain to the private world of WWE.
