Fun, Fast Read
Having read the sample, which I found pretty amusing, I decided to buy the book and am glad I did. This book compiles a bunch of really bad storyline/character ideas the WWF/E did or almost did. Some of the stories I have heard before and would not be surprised if the ones that I did not hear about are true too lol.There is also some backstage stories on HHH which do not picture him in the best of light but are an interesting read.I think any wrestling fan, who knows it is scripted, would be interest in the book. the book flows very well with 1-3 pages per story idea and is pretty funny at times.Notes:Worth The Money: YesWould I Recommend It: Yes (to wrestling fans only)

Really interesting read!
Really interesting read. I am a long time wrestling fan and truly loved getting another prospective on everything. I'd recommend this book to new and old fans alike. It's well worth the price.

Awesome book.
If you are a wrestling fan you should read it. Enjoyed the crazy stories that they talked about in this book.

Entertaining but full of errors to the point of distraction
This is an easy and entertaining read. However, I came very close to giving a 2-star rating because of the excessive number of careless typos and mistakes.

Great Artwork
Typesetting a book is hard. Type setting a book 7.4 x 0.3 x 9.7 inches is even harder. With that being said, I’m going to not tarnish the rating of this book for the incredible amount of grammar errors in it.For a self published book, I felt the author did his best. Except for page 82 which has way too many errors to make any sense.I also thought, for a self published book the artwork was incredible. It was so good and I commend whomever did it.All in all , it was a fun book and I’d recomend it, errors aside.

Awesome
Really good read. It was entertaining and had a good time reading it. Had some good laughs reading about the silly ideas suggested.

A fun little book of trivia, but one that could have used more polish
Although I enjoyed the trip down memory lane of dropped storylines and outlandish gimmick pitches, I do hope that the writers over at Whatculture.com go back and revise this book for the digital edition. There were a *lot* of typographical errors here, far more than I was expecting.

Great book!
This book was very good! A lot of interesting topics I never knew about. One complaint is there were quite a few grammar mistakes, but overall, very good content!

Copied and pasted stories straight out of the dirtsheets
Would have been much less frustrating of a read had someone ran a spell check before publishing. Otherwise, it's a fairly disjointed affair. Makes no effort to introduce wrestling terms, baby face/heel/kayfabe/shoot etc, so only suitable for those familiar with such terms...in which case, most of the stories are ripped off from dirtsheets and are known to most hardcore fans...Vince Russo is a mess, McMahon is obsessed with incest storylines, HBK was a prick backstage...nothing new. Honestly though, worth it for the Cornette foreword... very entertaining.

Loved it.
An excellent read at a bargain price and this wrestling geek loved it. I've been a fan since 1999 and am constantly referring to the WWE Network to watch shows I've missed, so you would think I'm up on my knowledge and don't need any more wrestling lessons, but this book proved me dead wrong. 6/5 if I could. By the way, I'm Jack McMorrow, not Jack the Jobber.

Interesting book, for a fairly low price
This is an interesting book (especially for the price), although I'd already heard many of the stories before. For completion, here are a few more controversial wrestling plans which never saw the light of day (I'll add more with time if I remember them):-*Vince Russo allegedly wanted to pay O.J. Simpson $1 million to take a lie-detector test live on a WCW PPV*According to Jerry Jarrett's book, Vince Russo wanted to introduce a Ku Klux Klan character to feud with Ron "The Truth" Killings*The story of the un-pinnable "Ding Dongs" hunchback tag team was true, but I believe the intended climax of the storyline was that their opponents would eventually cut a hole in the ring (allowing their shoulders to finally make contact with the mat), which wasn't mentioned in this book

If your a WWE fan I'm sure you'll enjoy this book
I really enjoyed this book it's a good book to just pick up to have a quick read of then save for later as the things it covers are usually a page or two long but all the chapters are a decent size all together. Going off other reviews I will say as a British reader I didn't find it difficult to understand although I do have quite good knowledge of WWE if your a fan of the product you'll enjoy and understand this book just fine.
