Karnage 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 From Shopzone December 2001: Vince McMahon steps out of a snowy night into a diner in upstate New York for a meeting with old friend Phil Thomson, now a highly placed government official. Thomson has a strange proposition: creating a new covert black-ops group using the Superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment. The WWE's talented men and women are perfect. Highly skilled athletes with the ideal cover, they travel all across the country and the globe; no one would find it unusual to find them in a town one day and gone the next. The government would train and support the wrestlers in any way possible except one: No one could know the truth. March 2006: The Superstars have been handed their latest assignment: take down a commercial-grade methyl-amphetamine plant that is bankrolling terrorist activities in Europe. Their mission seems simple and straightforward, until a member of their team is taken prisoner. Now all that they've worked so hard for is in jeopardy, and one of their own might be killed.... I guess this is a follow-up to Kane's book... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

claydude14 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 Is it actually Hardcover? You can get it on Shopzone for 7.29, 8.29 for a RAW/Smackdown! keychain bonus. I think at the 7.29 price, I'm sold on a copy if I plan on ordering from shopzone soon. It's too ridiculous a concept to pass up. http://shopzone.wwe.com/Product_detail.asp...ductId=77-00062 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 I think I speak for everyone when I say that I can think of no better black-ops group than a collection of very large people with recognizable features and moderate mainstream popularity. Give me the chapter where Big Show infiltrates a private party and attempts to blend in. When you need serious help, call THE HOSS SQUAD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give me the chapter where Big Show infiltrates a private party and attempts to blend in. It couldn't be any worse than the real case of Shaq wanting to be an undercover cop to track down child porn dealers. Shaq: "Yeah, I'd like to buy some child porn" Child Porn Dealer: "Hey, aren't you NBA Hall-of-Famer-turned-undercover-cop Shaquille O'Neal?" Shaq: "Uhhh... no."

10 Pounds 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 Oh man, this is so ridiculous they need to create another WWE cartoon totally ripping off X-Men. - Taker has dark magic powers, shoots lightning and can blow the enemy's cover by turning on all the lights in a room. - KAAAAAAAANE controls fire, so he can create firewalls. Can be manipulated since he has a weak mind and will do what the voices in his head tell him to do. - Hogan has his veto power, so if he gets gunned down he can always get back on his feet, laughing like Arnold in Total Recall and walk off. - The villains will consist of the same returning characters since any new villain will easily be beaten by HHH. - Vince will be like Dr. Claw. In every episode, he will always get his plans foiled and will fly off to his next HQ cursing that there will be no mistake next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 Good to see Vince is still making casual fans hate his product more. It's a given that the book will suck. If you want a good fictional book involving wrestlers, read "Goon" by Edward Lee and John Pelan (aka "Old School John"), or "Hoodtown" by Christa Faust.
