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.
