Backstage Pass: Tales from Beyond the Squared Circle

By David Sahadi

A jaw-dropping pro wrestling insider memoir packed with real backstage drama, power struggles, and untold stories from WWE's creative core

What really happens behind the curtain of professional wrestling?

Not the scripted matches.

Not the storylines.

The real drama.

In Backstage Pass, Emmy Award-winning creative director David Sahadi reveals the chaos, politics, and power struggles that shaped modern wrestling television--and the larger-than-life personalities behind it.

From explosive clashes between executives to last-minute rewrites before going live, these are the stories fans never see:
Creative battles that changed careers overnight Rare behind-the-scenes moments with wrestling's biggest superstars High-stakes decisions made minutes before airtime Rivalries more intense off-camera than in the ring The truth behind how wrestling became global entertainment
This isn't just a wrestling book. It's a behind-the-scenes look at fame, ego, and the cost of creating spectacle at the highest level.
