From the Hardcore Champion to the World Heavyweight title holder, from the WWE's showcase events to the Pay-per-views, from Survivor Series to the grand spectacle of WrestleMania-this encyclopedia covers it all.

I just got the WWE Encyclopedia and here are a few things I noticed.

The Superstars that have one whole page dedicated to them are:
• Batista
• Bret “Hit Man” Hart
• Chief Jay Strongbow
• D-Generation X
• Eddie Guerrero
• Freddie Blassie
• George “The Animal” Steele
• Gorilla Monsoon
• Iron Sheik
• Jake “The Snake” Roberts
• Jim Ross
• Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka
• Linda McMahon
• Lou Albano
• Nikolai Volkoff
• Randy “Macho Man” Savage
• Stephanie McMahon
• “Superstar” Billy Graham

The Superstars that have one and a half pages dedicated to them are:
• Bob Backlund
• Bobby “The Brain” Heenan
• Fabulous Moolah
• The Hardy Boys
• Sgt. Slaughter
• Shane McMahon
• Vincent K. McMahon

The Superstars that have two whole page dedicated to them are:
• Andre The Giant
• Anotonino Rocca
• Bruno Sammartino
• Buddy Rogers
• Hulk Hogan
• John Cena
• Mick Foley
• Ric Flair
• The Rock
• Stone Cold Steve Austin
• Triple H
• Undertaker
• Vincent K. McMahon

Are we supposed to think that those with two pages are who Vince believes to be the biggest Superstars of the WWE of all time?? Do you agree with it?? What is your opinion on the Superstars with 1 to 1 ½ pages?? What are your thoughts on this??

This next list is what is missing from this book.
• The Miz (although there is an entry for Morrison and the Miz, but then again there is one for just John Morrison and even one for MNM.)
• Rated RKO

This next list is some errors I caught.
• Missing Title reigns

I'll post more detail after further review.

i think eddie needed another page and that if the hardys dont have seperate passages that they should since theyve worked very hard to prove they are good in singles as well. and i really think rated rko needs a page cause b/c of them we dont have to see two old guys act like junior high students since we all know that a group of cheerleaders couldnt do the job lol

 

[King Patrick Star]

I agree with everything you're saying. I'll look through it some more. I know there are more things missing and there are a few mistakes I caught, but soon forgot about. I'll post the additional insight right on the first post to avoid any board rules I may break.

 

[Nero89]

they left out beniot huh

 

[King Patrick Star]

Actually no, they did not. Chris actually has his own article, plus a few others he was associated with, like WWE Title reigns he had, Stables he was apart of, and he’s mentioned in Main Events of the PPVs he was in.

I read this just the other day....

One thing that kind of annoyed me was that on Triple HHH's 2 page dedication was how they went out of their way to say that he was "one of the greatest wrestlers of all time"

If he was really that great then why would you have to announce it ....? Why didn't they say something like that on Hogan's page or Ric Flair's ....?

It's almost as if the WWE is is trying to force people to believe that he is the Greatest Wrestler of All Time .....

 

[Nero89]

thats good at least. i mean i really hate what happened but he still was one of the best there ever was. if he was still around he would be the best!!!

 

[Nero89]

which is funny cause he was one of the best but now hes just ok, like sting!

hey i just joined to reply to this forum! cos i was looking at it the other day and for a book that states to have every wwe superstar that even has battle cat and big dick johnson it doesnt feature a number of people like nathan jones, matt morgan, drew mcintyre, as stated the miz and i'm sure there is more i havent noticed!

There is also a mistake on 2 pages (I think 157 + 158, Jimmy Harts bio is the first page i'm talking about). In the encyclopedia it highlights which eras the wrestler is associated with and I noticed that with every superstar on those 2 pages have incorrect info regarding the era's they performed in, some are even listed in era's they never took apart of (I know the first page has Jimmy's Hart's bio on it).

I found a few others but it looks like they were already covered.

That's where I was going with this. The Stars with 2 pages seems like the Stars who the WWE is pushing. Some I agree, some I don't.

Yes, I don't like to think about what he did outside the "ring", and that goes for all the Stars, past, present and future.

Welcome to WZ. I'm new as well and thanks for catching those mistakes. I'll add them to the 1st post soon to have one centralized location for the category.

Thank you. I'll add them too when I get a chance.

The Encyclopedia is great. However, I havnt looked through all of it but did catcha mistake.

If you get a chance to look at it, find P.J. Walker. The pic associated with that entry is not P.J. Walker, but T. L. Hopper.(Evil plumber)

That's all I got! It's a great read and a great piece to add to any wrestling fan's collection.

I really wanna get a chance to look through this book! It sounds like it's pretty interesting. My question for you guys that have read through it is, are these facts about the guys that are harder to find? Or are these the kinda facts that you can find on wikipedia, or somewhere else easily on the internet.

But anyway, looking through these posts, I have a couple thoughts here.

1-Chris Benoit
I really give the WWE respect for giving him some information in there. Obviously, the whole thing was a huge tragedy, but I don't see how you can just erase him from the history of the company when he was a title-holder.

2-Edge
While this guy hasn't been main eventing for more than 4 or 5 years, he's a 9 time world champion. NINE FUCKING TIMES. Not many people have ever done that. That's more than Hogan! While there's no way you can compare his reigns to Hogan or many of the other greats, there's still a large quantity of reigns for a guy. I mean come one, he deserves at least one page. Probably at least one and a half.

They're basically just simple facts... You can find them all on Wikipedia or at least somewhere on here....

Nothing extra just a book with almost every single superstar past or present with a small bio ......

Don't waste your money unless you really want it.

why is cena the front one on the cover?

Why is HHH the bigger picture on the front cover? Cena may be in the front but HHH definitely has the bigger picture. And Sgt Slaughter is on the spine. Totally random.
