WWE 35 Years of WrestleMania Review

Gary Smith

The latest from the collaboration between WWE Books and DK Publishing hits bookstores everywhere on September 3rd with the release of WWE 35 Years of WrestleMania. It’s not a completely new release, but rather an updated/expanded release of a title released five years ago (30 Years of WrestleMania). I wrote a full review of that release five years ago, and I stand by that still. Because the book is pretty much the same, I’m going to repost my original review below with some slight adjustments…

The partnership between WWE and DK Publishing continues strong with the first new release of 2019, WWE Greatest Rivalries.

In total, 95 rivalries are chronicled over the 200 pages of high quality, glossy paper that make up this hardcover. If you're a fan, or collector of wrestling books, you'll know that the WWE/DK…

WWE RAW: The First 25 Years Review

Gary Smith

In January, WWE's flagship program, Monday Night RAW, celebrated it's 25th anniversary. It was a huge milestone and one that came near the 1,300 episode mark. Unfortunately for us fans, the actual program itself was a huge let down. While WWE creative did a poor job of celebrating the event, the folks at DK and WWE Publishing worked on the RAW: The First 25 Years book and to the surprise of no one did an excellent job. Through almost 200 pages, WWE RAW: The First 25 Years looks back on well the…

WWE Ultimate Superstar Guide 2nd Edition Review

Gary Smith

Three years ago, WWE Books and DK Publishing released the WWE Ultimate Superstar Guide. That book featured over 200 superstar profiles of current and former WWE talent, and featured illustrations by Daz Tibbles. On March 6th, WWE and DK team up once more to publish the WWE Ultimate Superstar Guide 2nd Edition. This edition is more of the same; it features over 200 profiles of current and former stars. The big difference here, other than the inclusion of stars who weren't on the roster in 2015…

WWE Absolutely Everything You Need to Know Review

Gary Smith

The latest book release from the DK Publishing/WWE partnership dropped at the beginning of the month, and as you would expect it's a pretty good one. If you're a fan of pop culture books, you may have seen some other DK's other "Absolutely Everything You Need To Know" books for Star Wars, Marvel, and LEGO. WWE: Absolutely Everything You Need To Know is presented in that same style, and you can get an idea for what the entire book is like by the header image above and the image down below. The…

The WWE Book of Top 10’s Review

Gary Smith

The partnership between WWE and DK Publishing has produced some of the best wrestling books on the market and certainly the highest quality ones. The two are set to release the latest in that line on May 9th when The WWE Book of Top 10's becomes available. It is exactly what it's titled, a list book of top 10's. There's about 200 pages and 100 lists here. This isn't the in-depth historical type books we've come to expect from the DK/WWE partnership, but just a fun look back at some past WWE and…

WWE Encyclopedia 3rd Edition Review

Gary Smith

Wrestling fans rejoice - the 3rd Edition of the WWE Encyclopedia is finally here. Back in 2009, WWE and DK teamed up to bring wrestling fans the first ever WWE Encyclopedia. At the time it was "the definitive guide to World Wrestling Entertainment," and it was truly a must have for any wrestling fan as it covered everything in WWE history to that point in 364 pages. Three years later, in 2012, the partnership released the 2nd Edition of the WWE Encyclopedia. That was the "updated and expanded…

The 100 Greatest WWE Matches Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

The partnership between WWE and DK Publishing has produced some of the highest quality WWE books ever, and that partnership's latest release certainly lives up to the high standards that they've set. In WWE: The 100 Greatest Matches, best-selling author Dean Miller returns to write in-depth about 100 WWE matches. Each match takes up two pages and details the lead up to the match, the match itself, and the aftermath of the match. All the text is broken up with wonderfully placed, high-quality…

WWE Ultimate Superstar Guide Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

A couple of years ago I received the Best Buy exclusive "Avengers Illuminated 3D Lenticular Gift Set" as a birthday present, and one of the things it included was a really great 200+ hardcover book called "The Avengers: The Ultimate Character Guide." I enjoy the Marvel movies, but I'm not a comic book guy, so this book was quite valuable to me because it informed me of more than 200 of the Marvel heroes and villains. It was also just a really well done book, and in fact when I was first looking…

WWE The Ultimate Poster Collection Review

Gary Smith

  Insight Editions released their latest poster book last month, and this time it was a collection of WWE pay-per-view posters in a book dubbed "The Ultimate WWE Poster Collection." Back in November, I reviewed my first Insight Editions poster book (Destiny) and came away impressed with it. This WWE one is really no exception. If you've seen one of Insight's poster books before, then you know the kind of quality you can expect. The posters are fairly big, measuring 15.9 x 11.9 x 0.4 inches…

30 Years of WrestleMania Review

Gary Smith

The WWE partnership with DK Publishing has resulted in some really great historical WWE books. There's the two encyclopedia's and the WWE 50 book. Now, there's 30 Years of WrestleMania, which released on September 15th. Like its predecessors, 30 Years of WrestleMania is a beautiful and wonderfully put together hardcover book. If you have the WWE 50 book, it's about the same size as that (smaller than the two encyclopedias). Nice glossy pages with gold foil trim makes it look really slick. The…

DK Reader Level 2 – WWE John Cena Second Edition Review

Over the past few years, WWE has gone PG and began targeting children as an audience and it's a move that has been successful. While kids have always been wrestling fans regardless of the era, now more than ever we're seeing more and more really young kids at WWE events. If you're a parent of a young WWE fan, or you have a sibling, niece, nephew, or grandchild who is a fan of WWE then you should know about the WWE books in the DK Reader series.
