Things you will come across in Volume 4 include:

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    James Dixon has been watching wrestling for over 20 years. Inspired by the likes of Davey Boy Smith, Bret Hart, The Ultimate Warrior and The Undertaker, Dixon was drawn to the business like any other fan; for reasons that are difficult to explain.

    A hobby quickly became an obsession, and Dixon was determined to get involved in wrestling by utilising the one thing he could do: write about it. In previous books James wrote alongside his “writing partner” Evil Ste. The truth is, the Evil Ste character was merely an extension of Dixon’s own personality, his way of sharing his Jekyll and Hyde opinions on things. The writing choice worked fairly well at first, but the team at History of Wrestling all felt it had perhaps become more gimmicky that was hoped, so Dixon has reverted to just writing as himself.

    Well, we say himself. In reality James is a former British professional wrestler, but he has adopted the pseudonym to retain relative anonymity and to distance himself from his past career in the industry. However, that past experience does give him a unique and more inside perspective on things than the others, though he is still a “mark” at heart.

    James has limited patience and borderline apathy for anything in wrestling post-2002, and much prefers 80s and 90s grappling. Curious really, because as you will see from his writing, he spends a lot of time complaining about it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very fun read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2013

    I have read almost all the books these guys have released so far and have yet to be let down. The books do pretty much exactly what they promise which is provide a guide and review of every WWE home video release during the time frame given and they do so in my opinion in a fun and informative way.

    This video covers the 'attitude era' for the WWE or as these guys label it the 'Vince Russo Years' and many of my childhood wrestling memories came flooding back as I read and enjoyed this book. All the PPV's released during this time are covered and most major angles are described and reviewed.

    You will find many things you disagree with, I at times strongly disagreed with the writers opinions on certain matches or angels but they write in such an entertaining way it is hard to not enjoy what is on offer.

    All in all I would strongly recommend this book to any fans of the WWE or the Wrestling in general. However I would also recommend reading next to a tablet or PC with YouTube freely available as the urge to watch and look up the clips described is very hard to ignore.

    I cannot praise this series and these authors enough. The volumes are more than the video guide they profess to be - they in fact provide a near chronological walk through WWF / WWE history via PPVs, video events and so on. With each match and event reviewed in detail, with an honest look without any any rose tinted glasses and some killer humour. My only criticism is that there is such a gap between release dates!

    Cannot wait for the next volume - hours and hours of enjoyment reading these volumes. Well done guys.

    Every WWF/E PPV of the early attitude era is reviewed in typically fine style by the HOW team. The coverage of Survivor Series 1997 is particularly opinionated and authorative. Massively recommended.

    Much more than just a list now, brilliant analysis of all the events plus the timeframe. Loved it and well worth the money.
