Under-the-radar wrestling book recommendations

Yes, finished it last week. 

 

A really good read, and very detailed. I agree about the history of WWF being very well covered.

The new Wolfie D book by our own @GeneJackson95 is a fun read. Wolfie comes across as a guy who very much knows his place in wrestling history and is happy to just get to tell his story in his own way. Very entertaining from start to finish.

Excuse the plug, but my book "Turning The Tables: The Story of Extreme Championship Wrestling" is 99p on Kindle throughout January (UK only deal I'm afraid): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Turning-Tables-Extreme-Championship-Wrestling/dp/1520782489

I'm going through the Gorilla book right now. Very good so far.

The Vince book, Ringmaster by Abraham Josephine Riesman, is currently 99 cents on Kindle.

Brian Solomon does outstanding research for his books. His book “Blood and Fire” about The Sheik is one of the most comprehensive biographies I’ve ever read, not just of a Pro Wrestler, but of any person (and I have read a ton of biographies.) The Sheik was notoriously private (he is one of those old timers who maintained Kayfabe with his own family) and Sabu said that Solomon uncovered things about his Uncle that even his family didn’t know. I’m not surprised to hear the Monsoon bio is good, I am looking forward to checking it out.

Anyone read the Barry Darsow book? I'm considering picking up that one.
