(4) 4-6 Wrestling's Tough Guys series. Each book in this high-interest, low-level series profiles a contemporary professional wrestler, superficially covering his childhood and early interest in the sport before moving on to important matches. Lots of photos of pumped-up musclemen take center stage; the minimal texts don't go very deep, but WWE fans will appreciate the stats and ringside action. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Wrestling's Tough Guys titles: Triple H, Randy Orton, The Rock, and John Cena.
