Forgiven: One Man's Journey from Self-Glorification to Sanctification 7 reviews
Vince Russo
Ecw Press, 2005
Only half the story
Vince Russo's Forgiven is a fairly good read with his versions of his time in the WWF. The book does not cover his time in WCW or TNA and that is the book I would like to read. In this book he states several times how he was a changed man and would never go back to wrestling. Well shirtly after the ...

Lita: A Less Traveled R.O.A.D.--The Reality of Amy Dumas (WWE)34 reviews
Amy Dumas, Michael Krugman
World Wrestling Entertainment, 2003
Excellent
+ Interesting
As soon as I saw Lita on WWF (I was 15 years old at the time) I knew I was seeing something fresh and exciting. Lita was just so effortlessly cool and natural - nothing like most of the other female wrestlers who I felt were forced into being Barbie doll types. Lita is exactly the type of female ...

Not up to Scott's normal standard
I'm a big Scott Keith fan, in fact, in the past, I've sent him video tapes of wrestling shows, just to be able to read a review from him. His rants are spectacular. BUT, in comparison to his other books, this is a bit of a letdown. I don't know what it is, but this book dragged as I read it, ...

I know James Guttman from back when he first started writing JG's Raw Insanity Reports when he wrote at Pro Wrestling Torch. His wrestling reviews were both hilarious and spot on. When he informed everyone that he was writing a book, we all waited with baited breathe until it came out. What a ...

+ Fine read from Eric's point of view !
Para aquellos que ven el pro wrestling como un negocio y un deporte, este libro muestra la vida de Eric Bischoff en el entretenimiento deportivo. Aunque en varios ocasiones muestra un lado muy positivo (no acepta sus errores) "Controversy creates cash" amplia el mundo del square circle.
