Synopsis
In an industry where nothing is real and no one actually wins or loses, the possibilities for manipulation are endless. World Wrestling Insanity sets out to expose the nepotism, backwards logic, and power plays that have made World Wrestling Entertainment go round. Alongside many well known names in wrestling, author James Guttman uses sarcasm, humour, and facts to break down the secrets of Vince McMahon's company and analyze the reasoning behind many of the decisions made. Never before has WWE, the McMahon Family, Triple H, and others been held up to the light and examined so closely. Why are some of the shows written as they are? Who has the company's best interests at heart? Who has their own best interests at heart? Could the WWE's errors be nothing more than accidents or are they the product of cold and calculated manipulation? In his trademark style, James Guttman analyzes the insanity and breaks down the McMahonifaction of pro wrestling. You better get your copy soon. Something tells us that there's a family in Connecticut who would like to make sure that James's first book is his last..., In an industry where nothing is real and no one actually wins or loses, the possibilities for manipulation are endless. World Wrestling Insanity sets out to expose the nepotism, backward logic and power plays that have made World Wrestling Entertainment go round. Alongside many well-known wrestling personalities, author James Guttman uses sarcasm, humour and hard facts to break down the secrets of Vince McMahon's company and analyses the reasoning behind many of its creative and business decisions., The real madness behind the not-so-real mayhem - Guttman sets out to find out what's really been going on behind the scenes of the McMahonification of pro-wrestling, and discovers some family truths..., The nepotism, backward logic, racist overtones, and power plays behind the World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) downfall are exposed in this indictment of wrestling's first family--the McMahons., In an industry where nothing is real and no one actually wins or loses, the possibilities for manipulation are endless. The nepotism, backward logic, and power plays behind the World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) downfall are exposed in this indictment of wrestling's first family. An analysis of the McMahons' poorly written scripts discloses how nepotism and vanity have taken over their creativity, while input from many well-known figures provides details on the complicated and seemingly endless web of manipulation that has led to such questionable behaviors as locker-room hazing and sexual indiscretions. WWE's racist undertones are also discussed, with a firsthand account on how being black affected one wrestler's match with a world champion.

- 8***8 (124)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseDress arrived 2 weeks after i purchased it. Seller waited almost a week before sending it. Packaging was fine. Dress was as described, BUT the zipper is defective. Yes, it zips down OK. Zipping upwards is very difficult and has to be forced. Seller was contacted and I was told that the zipper worked fine when dress was sent. Since the zipper is defective, I would say the value of the dress is questionable.
