Book Reviews of Wrestling's Most Wanted : The Top 10 Book of Pro Wrestling's Outrageous Performers, Punishing Piledrivers, and Other Oddities
Book Review: Great idea for a book on the biz, but does not deliver
Summary: 2 Stars
Books on the subject of pro wrestling are coming out in great quantity these days. A few are great, many are so-so, and some are disappointing. I hate to say this book is one of the disappointments; I love the idea of a pro wrestling "book of lists," I've even known enthusiasts who have considered trying out the idea. "Wrestling's Most Wanted" delivers list after list of stage names, family combos, gimmicks... the categories themselves are interesting, but the examples give little interesting information other than citing who used what gimmick, who uses which finishing hold, etc... I doubt the author really knows a lot about pro wrestling; it seems like he merely collected a book's worth of information and tossed them into a book. Maybe those who know nothing about the pro wrestling biz might enjoy some of the newfound information in these lists; if so, kudos to the author for turning newbies into possible fans. If you are, on the other hand, a wrestling fan who is only even ankle deep in your pro wrestling studies and initiation, you are much better off purchasing the autobiographies of Lou Thesz, Mick Foley and Dynamite Kid.
