For nearly one hundred years the working of the sports entertainment industry and the private lives of the wrestlers who competed in front of millions remained closely-guarded secrets. Fans might clamour for as much information as they could get - especially once the Internet opened up almost 24/7 discussion - but the truth behind the controversies, people and events that drive this multi-billion dollar global industry remained obscured.
Then in 2002 World Wrestling Entertainment decided to draw back the curtain and give fans unprecedented access to its Superstars and its past in a weekly magazine programme called WWE Confidential. Now for the first time those stories, features and revelations are available in print. In 'WWE Confidential' you can hear from Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels what really went down at Survivor Series in Montreal in 1997. Let Stone Cold Steve Austin tell you in his own words why he walked out of WWE. What was the war between WWE and WCW really like? Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff and others explain it from their perspective. In addition to the last word on major controversies, the book also includes features on WWE's most popular Superstars, special tributes to WWE legends and extras that never made it to the television programme.
