Publisher Description

Pro-Wrestling's secrets and greatest moments are immortalized in this graphic novel from legendary wrestling personality Jim Cornette. A true-story style anthology, these insider tales will show the lengths that wrestlers went to uphold "kayfabe" (the old carny term for the presentation of legitimate conflict), as well as the noteworthy cultural, racial, and economic effects these events and characters had on society. This is the graphic novel that old school wrestling fans have been waiting their entire lives for: a no-holds-barred representation of the moments that wrestling insiders couldn't talk about for years.

    Great Read for the Wrestling Enthusiasts or Newcomer

    If you're a fan of old school wrestling or a newer fan trying to get caught up to speed on key moments you missed in the previous decades then this is the book for you to check out. Fans of Jim Cornette's podcast wondering if this would be good to fit for your kid who's under the age of 15 will be just fine as the language in the book is rated G for General Public. It is very straight forward, fun, energetic and bursting with curiosity as you turn page, after page, after page. Jim Cornette comes off in this book like Rod Sterling in THE TWILIGHT ZONE as he introduced key milestones in wrestling history that stands the test of time and makes you appreciate a particular code in wrestling that is no longer a practiced form which is protecting the business, not revealing its secrets at any cost. It's 80 pages long but is a fun read as you lose track of time and blaze through the pages in no time. Shout out to the artist as it's beautifully illustrated. Jim Cornette and crew has hit paydirt with this volume as I feel there's even more stories that can be told and has with this one laid down the foundation for future installments. You're going through a crash coarse in wrestling history but it's done in such a way that is exciting to learn and very memorable. For anyone serious about being a wrestling fan, you have to add this to your collection. That's double if you are a shoot dvd collector, make your rounds listening to various podcasts, and/or have a knack for prowrestling history.
