In this follow-up to Robert Caprio's collection of road stories Are
We There Yet?, WWE superstars and divas dish the dirt on the late
night shenanigans that take place behind the scenes, on the road,
and in hotels all across the world. If you think all the WWE drama
unfolds inside the wrestling ring, then think again. Sometimes the
action outside the ring can be just as exciting -- and as dangerous
-- for the wrestlers as they drive, fly and occasionally fight
their way from city to city to entertain their millions of fans. In
Rumble Road the superstars of the WWE recount their shocking and
hilarious road trip misadventures. From classic pranks to the
particular habits of the baddest of the bad guys who ever set foot
inside the squared circle, these are the untold stories of life on
the road -- straight from the mouths of those who continue to live
it one trip at a time.
What makes a great match? For some fans, it is drama and suspense,
and for others, it is tables and chairs. In My Favorite Match, the
wrestlers themselves will settle the score, taking readers through
some of the most extreme, unbelievable, and memorable matches in
sports entertainment history. My Favorite Match is based on
exclusive interviews from huge names in the sports entertainment
world, including Shawn Michaels, Dusty Rhodes, Mark Henry, Roddy
Piper, Rey Mysterio, and many more. Fans will re-live the pain, the
emotion, and the sheer athleticism through the eyes of the
wrestlers who lived to tell about it.
The focus of this study is court literature in early
sixteenth-century England and Scotland. The author examines courtly
poetry and drama in the context of a complex system of
entertainment, education, self-fashioning, dissimulation,
propaganda and patronage. He places selected works under close
critical scrutiny to explore the symbiotic relationship that
existed between court literature and important socio-political,
economic and national contexts of the period 1500 to 1540. The
first two chapters discuss the pervasive influence of patronage
upon court literature through an analysis of the panegyric verse
that surrounded the coronation of Henry VIII. The rhetorical
strategies adopted by courtiers within their literary works,
however, differed, depending on whether the writer was, at the time
of writing the verse or drama, excluded or included from the
environs of the court. The different, often elaborate rhetorical
strategies are, through close readings of selected verse,
delineated and discussed in chapter three on David Lyndsay and
chapter four on Thomas Wyatt and Thomas Elyot.
