I great read on the year of 2002 of wrestling. This has everything thing that happened within the year of 2002. It goes to pay-per-view to pay-per-view and laying out how all the story lines developed week to week. This is a great bookd if you want to know how everything was laid out and done.

Yearbook of the year!!! A must-buy for wrestling fans!!
A thoroughly comprehension year-in-review of almost every aspect of the 2002 season.
Well written, well researched, it's full of facts and behind the scenes dope that are presented in a witty and amazingly insightful manner.
I'd never heard of Mr.McAvennie before but he's a sports writer to watch out for- more like this please!
Matched with literally hundreds of great photos, this is a must for anyone who's got the slightest interest in WWE.
