It lists just about every major wrestler in history & gives a short Bio written by a true historian. Fun book & will be valued as a research tool by many. Photos are present on everyone.”

We all have our favorites and this format allows me to zero in on the earliest time periods and my favorite wrestlers. Some of the magnificent photographs I’ve never seen before and I’ve seen a lot. Your book was impossible to put down all afternoon long.”

Besides providing readers with a photo and brief biography, Tim Hornbaker has allowed the seriously interested fan or historian the information that can set them off on a search for further data. For example, knowing a wrestler’s high school, college or hometown can permit an endless development of knowledge. Thanks for a fun and practical book!”
