[Phil Schneider]

Anybody who needs any of the matches, just hit me up. I got em all

[puropotsy]

Just finished the book, one of my favorite wrestling books up with Have a Nice Day, John Molinaro's Top 100 Pro Wrestlers of All time, Hooker and the Andre book from last year. More than any of those, this is the one I most wish I had written

Just wanted to add my voice to the well-deserved chorus of praise. Just got my copy today and I am really enjoying it.

Just got mine this afternoon. Loving the book so far as its incredibly informative while staying a fun, light, easy read. Absolutely is going to be in my rotation for poolside/beach reading this summer.

Got the Kindle version and I am loving this so far. That French newspaper except about the Nazi gimmick is hilarious

Got my copy over the weekend! Looking forward to diving into as soon as I finish the book I am reading.

If there is a file with links to all of the matches, I'd love to have it!

[bobholly138]

Getting a copy of the book for my birthday next month. Would love to have that file with links to all the matches.

Man, this really is the best bang for the buck ever...

In addition to the book itself, there's a podcast and now links to all of the matches.

I'm looking forward to diving in. 

[Tenese Sarwieh]

Thanks for the links, watching these asap.

[Phil Schneider]

Any matches that aren't linked on that post, you can just DM me and I can get them to you

Also next week on the pod I have one of the most important people in professional wrestling! 

Talking about Ted DiBiase vs. Ric Flair

Mine just came in yesterday and can't wait to tear into this.

My copy arrived and I couldn’t be happier. My favorite blog on paper with fantastic artwork. Have you considered doing tshirts? 
 

Really enjoying the podcast as well. Tony’s a really fun guest.

[MichaelZ]

Mine is arriving on Father’s Day and I can’t wait to read it. I’m also excited to listen to the podcast. Congratulations and I wish you continued success. 

[MoS]

Nice to see Coach Tony K do a podcast on this! Looking forward to listening to two old DVDVR boys shoot shit 

[Blehschmidt]

The paragraph describing the Four Horseman at the beginning of the Flair/Morton section is an absolute thing of beauty @Phil Schneider

The quip about wrestling's nuanced depiction of ethnicity/race/culture (I can't remember the exact word you used) also got a laugh out of me.

F'n hell this is a great listen! Both of you are so enthusiastic and joyful discussing the match, reminiscing about tape trading, talking about booking, just bouncing off each other and making each other laugh.

I am not a podcast guy. I prefer reading about stuff to listening to people talk about stuff. But I am really glad I made an exception here, l laughed out loud more than once, enjoyed the hell out of the nostalgic stuff, and feel like I got some genuine insight into a great match and into the personality and wrestling mind of Tony Khan.
