Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"Brutus Beefcake pinned which Superstar at WrestleMania VI?" "What pro sport was the RAW Bowl based on?" "Who did Sable beat to become the Women's Champion of Survivor Series 1998?" This volume of head-scratchers is the ultimate test for pro wrestling's rabid fans. Divided into sections (WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Pay-Per-View, Old School, etc.), which are then sometimes split into subsections (Pay-Per-View's events include Judgement Day and King of the Ring), the book immortalizes just about every aspect of the sport, from who smacked down whom to who announced she was pregnant on TV. The authors-or statisticians, perhaps-have compiled thousands of questions and assembled a few photographs, but that's it: there's no accompanying text, telling interviews, or juicy tidbits to make anyone but a diehard WWE nut to pick up the book. (The answers to the questions, by the way: Mr. Perfect; football; and Jacqueline.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard-core fans only, December 25, 2002

This review is from: The Ultimate World Wrestling Entertainment Trivia Book (Paperback)

This is pure, unadulterated, trivia - over 1,600 questions! This will take you from the mid-80s Wrestlemania to the most recent wrestling shenanigans. The book has everything. And, while the Trivia Book has more words than a typical pro wrestling fan may be accustom to, a few (black and white) pictures scattered throughout the book will help keep them in their comfort zone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oustanding -- you will not regret this purchase, November 29, 2002

This review is from: The Ultimate World Wrestling Entertainment Trivia Book (Paperback)

One of the most tantalizing trivia books I've ever read. Some of the insightful questions really make you stop and think about how far wrestling has come. Feigenbaum, who has a PHd, really shows why he is considered the most erudite writer in wrestling. Enjoy.

This review is from: The Ultimate World Wrestling Entertainment Trivia Book (Paperback)

I was looking to buy this book last night at the mall. I browsed through a few pages only to find wrong answers for questions. What's the point of making a trivia book if your answers aren't even correct? Go ahead take a look under No Way Out for trivia. It asks what the February pay per view for the WWE is and sure enough the answer is Backlash! Now any legit wrestling fan knows the annual February PPV is No Way Out! Secondly under the same category it asks who was the Champion at the first No Way Out? Now any wrestling fan again would know that the answer is Shawn Michaels heading into the biggest main event in the history of Wrestlemania at the time. However the book says Steve Austin! Do what you will with this. I would not waste my money on buying this book. The only purpose it will serve is to confuse all wrestling fans. Beware!
