1. Sex, Lies, And Headlocks
The Real Story of Vince McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment
A gritty, behind-the-scenes investigative account of the professional wrestling industry that exposes how a media juggernaut built its empire through scripted spectacle, aggressive business tactics and a culture of secrecy, detailing steroid abuse, sexual relationships and misconduct, locker-room politics, cover-ups of injuries and deaths, and the legal and personal costs borne by performers; it traces the rise during the ratings wars, the executives and promoters who shaped both storylines and real-world outcomes, and the human toll of fame, exploitation and unchecked power in a theatrical but often ruthless business.
