ECW was the upstart promotion which revolutionised the wrestling industry. Turning The Tables is the first published history of the company which grew from a run-down bingo hall to become a national pay-per-view competitor… then crashed in a sea of debt. John Lister (author of Slamthology) gives an independent, objective and informative account that reveals hidden secrets and shatters common myths. From a little-known truth about ECW’s most famous feud to a blow-by-blow account of what really happened in Revere, this book will give you the true story behind America’s most controversial wrestling group.

New Novel With Wrestling Theme November 3, 2025
Author James Vachowski has sent word of Jet Fuel Can’t Melt Steel Beams, his new novel with a pro wrestling theme: In the spring of 1993, Jessie Carpenter is fifteen years old, and still alive. A few months from now, a bullied student is going to shoot up Jessie’s school in a horrific act of […]
Rampage: The World Wrestling Federation’s Invasion of the British Isles (1989-1993) by Lee Herbert October 22, 2025
In the brief gap between Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and the Power Rangers, the WWF was the craze in the United Kingdom: selling out Wembley Stadium, saving a sticker album company and proving the musical theories of Simon Cowell. This is the story of that craze, told in a way that captures both the numbers […]
Backstage Pass: Tales From Beyond the Squared Circle by David Sahadi October 21, 2025
If you saw a WWF commercial in the 90s or 2000s, or a TNA/IMPACT video package in the past 20 years, it was probably produced by David Sahadi, who is good at his job and well regarded by his peers. Now you’ve read that, you don’t really need to read this book. It’s somewhat baffling […]
Life Is Fighting by Kevin Robert Kesar April 30, 2025
Kesar is better known as WWE’s Karrion Kross, but this is not a pure autobiography. It’s somewhere between a life story and a self-help book, but it may be too much of a blend of formats to find wide appeal. Perhaps the most similar previous wrestling title is Bobby Heenan’s second book, but that was […]
Hell in Boots: Clawing My Way Through Nine Lives by Saraya-Jade Bevis April 28, 2025
Think more the Channel 4 version of Fighting With My Family than the Hollywood remake and you’ll be closer to the feel of this no holds barred book. Explaining the movie to some non-wrestling fan viewers, I noted that while much of the story may have been fictionalised, everything that happened before Saraya/Paige’s move to […]
The Six Pack by Brad Balukjian April 25, 2025
A mixed bag by its very nature, this part-history, part-travelogue covers a wide range of aspects of the WWF’s national expansion. The book has its origins in the early 2000s when Balukjian began work ghostwriting the Iron Sheik’s autobiography before their professional relationship broke down. Two decades later he decided to adapt the project as […]
The World Belongs to Jane & Me: Part #1: 1963 by AD Stranik February 18, 2025
Many pro wrestlers have been told their life would make for a captivating novel – and many have written autobiographies with a healthy dose of fiction – but this is quite the twist on the concept of “inspired by a true story”. Long time British wrestling fans who skip the blurb will quickly recognise that […]
British Wrestler Releases Autobiography December 20, 2024
British wrestler Jonny Storm has released an autobiography, “The Unofficial Legend?” with the following blurb: Celebrating 30 years in the British professional wrestling industry, wrestler Jonny “The Wonderkid” Storm has seen and done it all. With a wealth of experience working for some of the biggest companies in the world and being at the forefront […]
Before It Kills Me by Daniel Alexander December 2, 2024
This is certainly a diversion from the usual wrestling novel and its darkness and power may be a matter of personal taste. While most wrestling novels tap into the territorial era, this is set in the modern independent circuit. It’s a tale of weekend warriors for whom local titles are their world championship. How “big” […]
