This book is really interesting because it first off if your a huge wrestling fan tells you about every wrestler ever to step in the ring. Also, it tells you about moves,styles, ext. I like this book because I think its also like a chance to find inst resting character traits about wrestlers who you never heard about before or would like to learn more. I would suggest this to wrestling fan 14 or older or maybe people with a high to low reading level. This book is also humorous to those who know a lot more about wrestlers then others.The book might be a little bit outdated because if you watch wrestling on t.v some people might see new wrestlers that have just joined the roster. I wouldn't worry about that the book is entertaining especially to young age who are interested in looking at a fine age of wrestling icon,legends, and most of all superstars. This book can be identified as looking at some of the past and present superstars. If you want to know about wrestling inside and out and where it stands from a encyclopedia standpoint then look no further than this book. When i read this book its an amazing feel to know about thousands of people history name and back round from a WWE standpoint.I had no problem reading this book because one I am a wrestling fan and two this is just something to build my knowledge about wrestling. Wrestling is a entertaining sport and those who watch it it can be addicting to stop watching it because the point is to entertain. As, far as this book is concerned I give it 4 stars for not only building up my knowledge about wrestling but to give me fact on some me personally have been watching almost all of my life.
