 WrestleCrap
Cleverly titled WrestleCrap, after a website of the same name, the book spans a long and storied history of not just the WWE, but touches of the AWA, the NWA, WCW and of course, the WWE when it was known as the WWF.
The authors of the book begin their tale with the biggest pile of steaming WrestleCrap that takes us back many years ago to when the WWF was preparing for Survivor Series and had a giant egg in the arena that was to hatch and provide us with a grand surprise.
WrestleCrap is a very humorous book that allows fans to relive such horrible gimmicks that have become unforgettable in wrestling lore.

 SLAM! Sports - Wrestling - WrestleCrap author aims for laughs
Wrestlecrap: The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling, published by ECW Press, is the work of R.D. Reynolds, or as he is known in his civilian life, Randy Baer.
While some might think the origin of the Wrestlecrap phenomenon was a grandioso scheme to remind Vince McMahon of the bunk that he has produced in the past so that he does not repeat history, the motivation behind the site was much simpler.
The Wrestlecrap book, however, is not just a word-for-word recreation of the site; rather, it is an extension of the webpage.

Banners and sponsors were implicated to aid the need, but Wrestlecrap was a monster with such a following that it was too little, too late.
Andy and I had talked about trying to personally rescue Wrestlecrap, with the aide of his server, but unfortunately, the amount of bandwidth the site generated, it would've overwhelmed mossgreen.net horribly, along with all the sites hosted through it.
When Wrestlecrap was at its full glory, I never really paid any attention to the mailbag; there was way too much other stuff that kept me entertained.

RD also has a section called RD's Ramblings, in which he offered his comments on current events in pro wrestling and replied to the emails he received.
He also felt that the frequent updates were detracting from the quality of his writing, and felt that updating less often would give him more time to focus on his work, and would allow him to put out better content.

 WrestleCrap   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
You’ll find all the usual suspects and more that one might expect in a survey of all that was not right with wrestling.
Reynolds also sensibly points out that many wrestlers didn’t have much choice in the gimmicks that they were given and how they did the best they could with losing hands.
WrestleCrap can be appreciated by wrestling fans or people who just like to laugh at the mistakes of others.

Both men used to work in wrestling's independent circuit before RD came up with the idea of a pro wrestling "hall of shame" website.
From its debut in 2000, Wrestlecrap grew steadily in popularity, but due to the high costs of running the site, Reynolds was forced to end Wrestlecrap in the summer of 2001.
It returned the following year, in slightly smaller form (the large backlog of past inductions was no longer available to readers), but was still very popular.

Wrestlecrap: The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling was that something.
“WrestleCrap is a hilarious book, and it is obvious that R.D is a real fan of the business.
“Also included in ‘WrestleCrap’ (ECW Press, $18.95) are such entertainment catastrophes as an evil one-eyed midget and a wrestler from the mystical land of Oz.

 Wrestlecrap: The Very Worst of Professional Wrestling Book at Shop Ireland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Wrestlecrap: The Very Worst of Professional Wrestling by: R.D. Reynolds, Randy Baer
This book is great for any wrestling fan it not only highlights the gimmick side of wrestling but also backstage interaction that manipulated what we see each week, Wrestlecrap is a great insight and is well worth a look in.
As a longtime reader of R.D. Reynolds' wrestlecrap website I can only assume that based on the content he regularly features this book is going to be nothing short of superb.

 WrestleCrap: The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
It would be where wrestlecrap comes from and also what the promoters were using to think up some of these horrible gimmicks!
While my favorite book on the subject, for a multitude of reasons, is still "The Buzz on Professional Wrestling", Wrestlecrap is a more specific and ridiculing (though still very much respectful) take on the dumber side of sports entertainment.
Pick it up for a good laugh at some of the stuff you've always remembered or may have missed, or just for some humorous validation that yes, that stuff you saw was pretty dang crappy.

 WrestleCrap: The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling
But I would be lying if I didn't acknowledge that as a big fan of the "Wrestlecrap" web-site, I found myself somewhat disappointed in the book, and have a feeling that other fans of the site will have the same reaction.
The whole appeal of the "Wrestlecrap" web-site, and what makes it a source of such hilarity, is how it goes into minute detail describing the ridiculousness and inanity of some of the worst wrestling gimmicks ever presented to the public.
In this book, though, instead of "going with what brought him to the dance", the book is written more as a "Cliffs Notes" history of the wrestling business over the past twenty years.

 WrestleCrap: The Book Review
So when my copy of WrestleCrap: The Very Worst of Professional Wrestling arrived, I breathed a sigh of relief after just reading the forward by John Tenta.
In fact, the best part of WrestleCrap, the book and the website, is that it embraces the bad gimmicks and angles we’ve been subjected to as fans.
Right at the start of the book RD talks about one of the biggest disappointments in my life as a rasslin’ fan, that being the infamous unveiling of the Gobbledy Gooker at the first Survivor Series.

 From the Barbed Library: "WrestleCrap: The Very Worst of Pro Wrestling"
When you’re writing to a niche audience like wrestling fans and the book is being sold in every major outlet in the country, you can’t skew the potential buying pool down even further by putting out something that leaves the casual fan scratching their heads all the way through it.
It truly is shocking to look back at that period and realize how long people kept their jobs when every week it legitimately seemed like the goal of the company was to put out a product worse than they had delivered seven days before.
And it should go without saying the book closes with the post-WCW era; the wrestlecrap we are currently suffering through (fittingly, the last angle he touches on is Katie Vick… because really, anything else after that wouldn’t have packed the same “grand finale of crap” punch).

 Countrybookshop.co.uk - Wrestlecrap
RD Reynolds and Randy Baer have dedicated a great portion of their lives to wrestling and all the fun and games associated with this heavily televised sport.
They have studied and engaged with, and have even BEEN, wrestlers and are in a prime position to explicate the mysterious and complex world of wrestlecrap.
In their book they carefully examine not only the funny side but also the darker side of wrestling too - the damage that these misjudgments can do behind the scenes; not only do the characters look ridiculous but it has also destroyed their livelihoods.

 Pro Wrestling Insider - Pro Wrestling News Inside & Out
The idea behind the concept of a site became a favorite among Internet fans, many of whom live to bitch about their fandom of wrestling as much as they love to watch it.
The idea soon spawned a book by the same title, authored by Wrestlecrap creator RD Reynolds.
With his second book in the writing stage now, I caught up with RD Reynolds to discuss the rise of the Wrestlecrap phenomenon, his own fandom, the success and history of his first book, future plans, and all the wonderfully horrible gimmicks that gave birth to this unique niche within the online wrestling world.

 --Q&A with RD Reynolds from WrestleCrap.com @ www.buttonhole.com.au--
WrestleCrap is basically a look over the past 20 years at all the worst in wrestling.
The book actually tells a story along the way of how WrestleCrap has caused men's careers to vanish before their very eyes.
The foreword is by John Tenta, whom fans will know as Earthquake, and he does a great job of setting the tone for the book.

 WrestlingEpicenter.com - The NEW Online Home of The Interactive Interview
RD mentions that this is the most common complaint he got from the WrestleCrap faithful and that is why "The Death of WCW" is designed for more core wrestling fans.
But, he thought of what he felt was the most interesting thing going on in pro wrestling and came up with how WCW went from the top show in cable television to being sold to Vince McMahon for a little under 4 million dollars.
RD laughs and says he actually wanted the back of the WrestleCrap book to be a picture of Giant Gonzales from behind with his hairy butt.

 Anti-Chyna Page: Previous Chyna Related Tribute WrestleCrap To Definitions
Like a circus, the WWF has a tendency to exaggerate the height and weight of its performers.
Upon hearing that Wrestlecrap was closing its doors, I decided to do a number of "definitions." On my very first one, "No Man's Land," I couldn't resist the temptation of throwing a cheapshot at the Ninth Blunder of the World.
Right then and there, I stopped elaborating, and kept going week after week with one-liners (although this was limited to just the definitions).

Two, because we lost the basis of the fed. But I did not want it to make CWC close down as well.

 Wakefield Press – WrestleCrap
The past 20 years of professional wrestling have produced memorable clashes, astounding events, and enormous revenues – as well as some ridiculously horrible characters and storylines.
WrestleCrap dredges up the most preposterous gimmicks that wrestling promoters have subjected their fans to, from George Ringo the Wrestling Beatle to a Turkey-on-a-Pole match.
Authors Randy Baer and R D Reynolds go beyond what fans saw on-screen and delve into the mindsets of the producers, uncovering motivations often more laughable than the spectacles themselves.
