""Brutus Beefcake pinned which Superstar at WrestleMania VI?""""What pro sport was the RAW Bowl based on?""""Who did Sable beat to become the Women's Champion of Survivor Series 1998?"" This volume of head-scratchers is the ultimate test for pro wrestling's rabid fans. Divided into sections (WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Pay-Per-View, Old School, etc.), which are then sometimes split into subsections (Pay-Per-View's events include Judgement Day and King of the Ring), the book immortalizes just about every aspect of the sport, from who smacked down whom to who announced she was pregnant on TV. The authors--or statisticians, perhaps--have compiled thousands of questions and assembled a few photographs, but that's it: there's no accompanying text, telling interviews, or juicy tidbits to make anyone but a diehard WWE nut to pick up the book. (The answers to the questions, by the way: Mr. Perfect; football; and Jacqueline.)
