Reviews

"A tight yet thorough history of wrestling as 'sports entertainment'-read that as meaning staged-from Jones.... Jones shows that the best professional wrestling is a kind of primal theater, and a far cry from the much more brutal mixed martial arts, which is sadly eclipsing its fan base."
Kirkus Reviews
"This boy-friendly and versatile book moves beyond straightforward biographies or a wrestling how-to and encompasses nearly everything a fan may want to know."
