DESCRIPTION:
A Customer said Travisty of a book!. If I could rate a book with negative stars, I would. This is a horrible book. It sheds no light on the world of Professional Wrestling that any FAQ on the Internet couldn't share. And most FAQs on the Internet go into much more detail than this travesty of a book. Mr. Flood should cease writing his "The X-pert X-plains" series right now until he actually finds an expert to help him out. The $"Travisty of a book!" according to A Customer.

Serious and fun rolled into one A Customer The sport of professional wrestling appears to be violent and bloody on the one hand, yet ridiculous and for children on the other. Most people know it's not really "real" any more, but still wonder how it could look the way it does and not be somehow the real thing. I couldn't figure out how these great big behemoths threw themselves on top of each other from the top of the ring and all the other painful-looking moves they perpetrate on each other without inflicting SOME type of injury! I mean, come on, they sure look messed up a lot of the time. And I just wanted to know how the whole thing got started. We. Only for the uninformed This book was not what I expected. The only "secrets" to be found involved things like chairshots and bleeding, and that took up all of two paragraphs. The rest of the book is filled with information that would only be of interest to beginners (I.E "Who is Steve Austin?", "How do you win a wrestling match?", and "What is a DQ?"). No pictures, and it's all in large, double-spaced printing. A rather thin, small book for the price tag. The author's efforts are respectable, but this book was not anything I would recommend to seasoned wresting fans, only for the uninformed or beginning wrestling fan.
Professional wrestling is the hottest entertainment spectacle on television today and millions of fans are tuning in and buying tickets to be a part of the excitement. Now comes a book that tears away the shroud of secrecy surrounding the game and its performers with answers to questions like: -- How do they bleed? -- Who decides who will be champion? -- That folding chair sure looked real -- was it? Plus, Kayfabe contains an extensive glossary of terms used backstage by wrestlers and promoters -- the real language of the game you won't hear on TV! Also: -- Historical background of the federations -- Intro to the top stars -- Where to find more real news and information Kayfabe is your ticket to be a part of the professional wrestling world you never knew existed!
Or is it merely a show? Mr. When you purchase this book you will be privileged to the information that only the insiders know. "Kayfabe" is a book for fans who want to know what really goes on behind their favorite sport. And now you will too! . From the Publisher Gambit Publishing is pleased to launch its new series "The X-pert X-plains" with "Kayfabe: the Secret World of Professional Wrestling" by Dave Flood. Flood "x-plains" it all as a fan himself who has done in-depth research and as a radio talk show host who has interviewed many pro wrestlers
