Product Description

Review

"The book's funny, well written and different. Highest recommendation." —The SmartMarks.com

"No matter how bad some of these gimmicks were, it's fun recounting them through this book." —Post and Courier

"I've told all I know that they have to pick up a copy of WrestleCrap, because I'm keeping mine.' —Doug Lunney, The Winnipeg Sun

Product Description

Outrageous costumes, cartoonish characters, and scripted storylines are featured in this retrospective look at the no-holds-barred stunts pro wrestling promoters have used to attract viewers. Covering such entertainment catastrophes as an evil one-eyed midget, George Ringo the Wrestling Beatle, and Goobledy Gooker, the wrestler who emerged in the arena from an egg, this merciless evaluation of such organizations as World Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation will leave wrestling fans and critics alike in stitches. The choices of promoters and producers are reviewed in an effort to understand the motivations and imaginations behind the often incomprehensible and laughable stunts that have baffled even die-hard fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable, but got off track, May 3 2004

By	C. Bedford Crenshaw "the Rebel Rockhopper" (Indiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are a wrestlign fan, you will enjoy it. Lots of funny sarcasm and tasty bits of backstage politics.

The problem is, it focuses too much on being a history of the last 15 years of pro wrestling, and often lost focus of bringing up the worst ideas in wrestling. A book similar to the old Baseball Hall of Shame series would have been far better, in which the various catagores of bad ideas are the chapters and then list the most egregious examples. This is too much of a straight history for a book with its supposed thesis.

As a wrestlign book, its five stars. BHut for one with a specified topic, its only a 4 out of 5.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing., April 15 2004

By	IhateMTV (The U.S.) - See all my reviews

When I purchased this, I was under the assumption that the book was going to be all about Wrestlecrap and the bad ideas in wrestling over the years, but it wasn't. Instead, I got a book that simply detailed the history of WCW and the WWF (mentioning both the good and the bad). While that's a nice little story in it's own right, that's not what I paid for. I got the book to read about the likes of Papa Shango and Repo Man, not the Monday ratings wars. While it's true that certain gimmicks are covered, they're only presented in these two ways:

A.) Barely described and only given one sentence or paragraph.

B.) Copied and pasted from the WrestleCrap site.

There are far superior wrestling books out there.

3.0 out of 5 stars the crap about wresltecrap, Mar 5 2004

By	R. Howell "boriskhan" (Medford, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book had promise but ended up with a mediocre delivery. There was some entertaining moments for remembrance of ridiculous gimmicks but overall, it began falling flat about half way through. Reynolds dwells upon Hulk Hogan's movies rather than on actual wrestling for a lengthy chapter. Now I know Hogan's movies are unbelievable crap but I didn't really need Reynolds to rehash and summarize every one of the movies. He also rants about the Monday Night wars and the nWo at length after promising he wasn't presenting this book to look at the mainstream stars and stories.

While the book was certainly readable, I was expecting something a bit different, maybe more coverage on the lame ass gimmicks he began talking about. There was more to Scott Hall than the nWo afterall (he did portray a gator wrangler). The further the book went, the more Reynolds talked about the big stars.

Overall, the book is entertaining to some degree and a wrestling fan will enjoy it. I expected more focus on the could-a-been gimmick-wrestlers and stories rather than the superstars and major storylines. Maybe some of the dumbass gimmicks the stars used to be (Blue Blazer, Starship Coyote, Big Bully Busick, Planet Stasiak, Raven's Nest, the Skyscrapers, Powers of Pain, etc.). I certainly could have done without the movie review chapter and the author's venting of his despisal of the nWo and the McMahons.
