Nxt: The Future Is Now

Description

NXT follows the rise of WWE's popular NXT brand from its conception to the brink of taking over WWE. For decades, sports entertainment had no centralised system for recruiting and training talent. Recognising this need, Paul Levesque - better known as 14-time World Champion Triple H - convinced Vince McMahon that WWE must reinvent itself. This book delivers the revealing story of Levesque's vision and the revolutionary impact it has already had on the WWE landscape, cultivating such world-renowned stars as Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Charlotte, Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Sasha Banks and more.

Jon Robinson is a sports and entertainment writer from San Francisco, California.

McMahon is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of WWE. A third generation promoter, McMahon purchased the company from his father in 1982. Under his leadership, WWE has developed into one of the most popular and sophisticated forms of global entertainment today.

"Whether a casual fan or a hardcore disciple of NXT, this publication is definitely worth a read. The photographs in this book are integral in the book's ability to take you down memory lane and remind you of how far NXT has progressed in its short history. . . This book now has a proud place amongst my other WWE memorability and should make up part of your collection too." -- Real Sport 101
