Beschreibung

For too long, people like comedian Jim Smallman have had to be apologetic about their love of professional wrestling. Yes, they do know it's fake. No, they don't care. Why? Because, at its core, wrestling is the most thrilling form of sports entertainment in the world.

There have been many wrestling biographies, and books that trash certain eras and promotions, but here, for the first time, is a book that celebrates pro-wrestling in all its forms. Part history, part love letter to a much misunderstood form of entertainment, join Jim as he brings you tales of early twentieth century pioneers like 'Farmer' Burns and Frank Gotch, bizarre gimmicks, phenomenal finishing moves, Mexican and Japanese innovators, the McMahon dynasty, the Montreal Screwjob, the 'attitude' era, André the Giant, Ric Flair, Mick Foley, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and many more, as he attempts to nail down just why this ludicrous, over the top, compelling quasi-sport means so much to so many.
