World 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.
