Stephanie McMahon Calls On Fans To Vote For RAW, WWE - Hurricane Dorian Donations, New WWE Book
- The new "35 Years of WrestleMania" book from WWE and DK Publishing is now available. The book was released on Tuesday and is currently listed at #1 on Amazon's Sports Encyclopedias chart, #23,424 on the overall Amazon Books chart, and #2 on the Amazon Wrestling Books chart. Jim Cornette's new "Behind The Curtain: Real Pro Wrestling Stories" graphic novel is at #1 on the Wrestling Books chart. That book is available at a sale price for paperback and e-book by clicking here.
The book, which includes 256 pages in the hardcover edition, was written by Brian Shields and Dean Miller. The foreword was written by WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. Shields has written books for WWE in the past and partnered with them on special projects. Miller previously worked as WWE's Director of Home Entertainment & Books, and has written books for them.
You can order the book at a sale price clicking here. Above is a video promo for the release.
- WWE is encouraging fans to donate to the American Red Cross to assist victims of Hurricane Dorian. The WWE Community website used this link to direct fans to a WWE-specific page on the Red Cross website. As of 11:15pm ET on Friday night, the page shows that 3 donations have been made through the link, for a total of $85. The page accepts PayPal or credit/debit cards, and $10 is the minimum online payment.
As noted, Dorian forced WWE to change their plans this week as a set of WWE NXT live events in Florida were re-scheduled and referee tryouts at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando were postponed.
WWE also tweeted this link to the donation page and encouraged fans to help:
