| You know the pro wrestler who holds the sport's record for most patents? No? Well, maybe you know the true origins of rock-and-roll and wrestling. No? Well, maybe you know about the convicted felon whose antics forced construction of the famed ramp at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. These and other precious nuggets are part of The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: Classic Characters, another volume by award-winning journalist Steven Johnson with respected author and editor Greg Oliver. Classic Characters delves into Rip Hawk's first experience at a burlesque house, how Jack Adkisson became Fritz Von Erich and the wrestling warriors who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Mixing updated pieces from SLAM! Wrestling with fresh research, Classic Characters is a ride a minute into the strange yet beloved world of pro wrestling. |
