| Plot Summary of Wrestling - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly |
|---|
"This 1984 book covers the best of what is known as 'old school' wrestling. Scores of colour and black and white photos compliment the personal and professional mini-biographies of over 90 mat stars of the 1960's to early '80's.
Many rare photographs and in depth career information that many fans today would be totally unaware of, make this volume a textbook on wrestling history as well. From Andre the Giant, to Argentina Rocca and the original "Nature Boy', Buddy Rogers - to Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair - follow the lives and career highlights of some of the most well known wrestlers in the history of the business.
