World Wrestling InsanityWorld Wide Insanity: The Decline and Fall of a Family Empire

Review
"A tremendous job combining intensive research, on-point commentary, and a liberal amount of humor...Highly recommended." —Figure Four Weekly Online, f4wonline.com

Book Description
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.
