He is one of the elite few. A WWE Hall of Famer.
Before Hulk Hogan, before Ric Flair, before The Rock there was “Handsome” Jimmy Valiant.
This WWWF tag team champion sold out Madison Square Garden four times in one year as one half of the legendary Valiant Brothers. Later evolving into the “Boogie Woogie” Man, he became 3X Mid-Atlantic TV Champ. He’s influenced the likes of “Superstar” Billy Graham, Jesse “The Body” Ventura, Diamond Dallas Page, and many, many more. And now Jimmy Valiant, one of the most charismatic true wrestling icons to ever climb into the ring, takes you on a 566 page ride down the dark side of professional wrestling in “Woo…Mercy Daddy! Welcome to My World- The Jimmy Valiant Story,” by Jimmy Valiant (with Angel).
40 plus years in the making, this book will motivate and encourage all who read it as Jimmy takes examples of his personal and professional life and shows how to stay positive though the bad and often challenging times. Get an intimate glimpse into Valiant’s personal life and his relationships with other wrestlers, friends, family and fans.
Mail order available from BWC 2916 Alleghany Springs Road Shawsville, VA 24162 at $35 & $10 shipping and handling. Easy Net ordering at www.jimmyvaliant.com. The book will also be on sale at the legendary BWC (Boogie’s Wrestling Camp) any Sunday from 12 ‘til 4 PM. Each and every copy will be personally autographed.
“Woo…Mercy Daddy!” is the wrestling book the world will be talking about. It’s larger than life and as colorful as the Boogie Woogie Man himself. Jimmy has always done things his way, by being a little different from the rest. So take a walk on the wild side with “Woo…Mercy Daddy! Welcome to My World.”
Jimmy Valiant is available for interviews in conjunction with his book release.

It was a turbulent time of great social upheaval.
And in the middle of it stood a child and his pals.
In this autobiographical short story collection, Evan Ginzburg looks back at growing up in the racially changing East Flatbush, Brooklyn of the 1960s and 1970s. From the beautiful friendships he made to the dangers and humiliations he faced, these gritty street tales will keep readers enthralled. With stories ranging from nostalgic to heart-rendering, he pulls no punches as he looks back at a Brooklyn that is now lost forever.
“We read several tales on the air and they’re funny, poignant and most certainly memorable,” stated New York DJ Fred Geobold, of 50,000 watt WBAI-FM’s Light Show in New York City.
Cultural icons such as Bruce Lee, Pam Grier, James Brown, Fred Williamson, Marvin Gaye, pro wrestling champion Bruno Sammartino and many other heroes of the era add magical memories that will transport readers back to this bygone time.
Hear the crack of the stickball bat against Spalding balls and hear the cling of bottle caps on the skully courts in “Apartment 4B, Like in Brooklyn,” (ISBN 0-9763366-0-X). Available now through mail order at: Evan Ginzburg PO Box 640471 Oakland Gardens Station Flushing, NY 11364 for $14.95 and $2.50 postage and handling (Add $8 for overseas orders).
Evan Ginzburg is available for media interviews and appearances in conjunction with “Apartment 4B, Like in Brooklyn.”
