Decent Enough Matthew Hooker This Book gives a good Bio of many of the Stars but Mr Hofstedemakes too many mistakes or leaves out details.Here are two:He says that the Giant got dropped on his head at Souled 97 butit actually occurred on January 24 at WCW/NWO Souled Out.He alsowhen mentioning the Owen Hart/Steve Austin Incident forgets topoint out it was a Tombstone Piledriver, not a Regular Piledriver.Before this Person . Good Read but Marred by Numerous Errors This book was definitely interesting to read, but being a long-time fan of pro-wrestling I didn't learn a lot from it. There are numerous errors in the book, too numerous to list. The author's choice of wrestlers to write about is a little strange - No lenglth mention of Eddie Guerrero, Ricky Steamboat, The Steiner Brothers, Juventud Guerra, Billy Kidman, Booker T, etc. No ECW, Japanese or Mex. "Awesome" according to A Customer. I loved this book. It's written by someone who knows what he's talking about, and I found it extremely well-researched. It's also surprisingly funny. Slammin' knows not to take wrestling too seriously, yet pays fitting tribute to the talented athletes who perform in the sport. Highly recommended.
