The following promotional information has been released for several upcoming books about and featuring World Wrestling Entertainment talent:
Heartbreak & Triumph: The Shawn Michaels Story: "He is one of the most charismatic showmen ever to grace a WWE ring. He was HBK: The Heartbreak Kid - the most resilient champion in WWE. And pound for pound, he may well be the toughest. He was the first Grand Slam champion - the only competitor to hold every title WWE had to offer at the time. Weighing in at 225 pounds, he was WWE Champion on three occasions, defeating men who were close to twice his size. From the very beginning of his spectacular career Michaels gained a reputation for pushing his body to extremes. He was willing to go the limit: to do whatever he had to do to put on a stunning show - and eventually his body paid the price. In his early thirties, an age when most Superstars are hitting their prime, Michaels had to bow out of the spotlight, plagued by recurrent injuries which had ended - or so he thought - his career. But then, sensationally, after four years out of the ring, in June 2002 'The Showstopper' returned to a rapturous reception from which he has never looked back. He is now once again wrestling at his physical peak and it is a measure of the regard in which he is held that in late 2004 no less than 4 million WWE fans voted him the man they most wanted to see take on World Heavyweight Champion Triple H at Taboo Tuesday. This is the full story of his truly remarkable comeback, and of his glittering twenty-year-plus career." The book is slated for a November 2005 release.
Divas Uncovered: "A lavishly illustrated photojournal combining text and images that capture the Divas of World Wrestling Entertainment at their most sensual, energetic and revealing. The book is full of unique, exciting photo layouts which illustrate the Divas as some of the sexiest women in the world today. Diary-style comments show them to be powerful, insightful women who enjoy working hard and playing hard. In the words of top diva Trish Stratus: "We're sexy, we're strong, we're beautiful and athletic - and we've redefined the word Diva" The hardcover book is scheduled for an October 2005 release.
Journey Into Darkness: The Unauthorized Biography of Kane: "The seven-foot Superstar Kane has always shunned attention, so much so that he never once spoke throughout the first years of his career. Now and then fans have been given tantalising glimpses into his strange and tormented life. They know that his mother died when he was young in a fire set by Undertaker - his half-brother. They know that as a teenager he was the driver in an accident that killed one of his few friends...But what fans have seen and heard on television is a fraction of Kane's full story. This book will uncover his shocking past and reveal the truth about him as never before. What secrets lie hidden behind those eyes? What made him the creature he became? Journey Into Darkness takes the enigma that is Kane into terrifying places where few would dare to go." The fictional book is scheduled for a September 2005 release.
