Synopsis:
Unauthorized. Unrestricted. No
holds barred.
In We Promised You a Great Main
Event, longtime sports
journalist Bill Hanstock pulls back the curtain to give a smart fan’s account
of WWE and Vince McMahon’s journey to the top. Untangling the truth behind the
official WWE storyline, Hanstock does a deep dive into key moments of the company’s
history, from the behind-the-scenes drama at the Montreal Screwjob, to the
company’s handling of the Jimmy Snuka scandal, to the real story of the Monday
Night Wars.
WWE is an extraordinary business success and an underappreciated pop cultural
phenomenon. While WWE soared to prominence during the Hulk Hogan years, as the
stakes grew more and more extreme, wrestlers faced steroid scandals and assault
allegations. The whole story is here, good, bad, and ugly, from the heights of iconic
cultural moments like Wrestlemania III to the arrival of global superstars like
The Rock and John Cena.
We Promised You a Great Main Event is an exhaustive, fun account of
the McMahon family and WWE’s unprecedented rise. Drawing on a decade of covering
wrestling, Bill Hanstock synthesizes insights from historians, journalists, and
industry insiders with his own deep research to produce the most up-to-date, entertaining
history of WWE available. Full of amazing characters and astonishing stories
from the ring to corporate boardrooms, it is a story as audacious as any WWE
spectacle.
