"There can be no doubt that wrestling has become the 'sport' of the 1980's, its burgeoning growth reflected in the figures released by the Racing Form, which shows that wrestling experienced the largest growth of all sports from 1983 to 1985. But wrestling has come to mean more, much more than simple statistics. It is the dramatic conflict of two men - or, in some cases, two women - who are readily identifiable by a majority of the fans watching the action."

Some of the matches included are - Hulk Hogan-Mr. T vs. Randy Piper-Paul Orndorff, Bob Backlund vs. Harley Race, Abdullah The Butcher vs. Carlos Colon, Fabulous Freebirds vs. The Von Erichs, The Sheepherders vs. Bobby Jaggers, Wendi Richter vs. The Fabulous Moolah -- and herds of others! And the pics will knock your socks off!

WOW!! Another fabulous book on, can you believe it, the ONLY sports event I ever went to in my entire life! I was a teenager (in the 1950's) and went with my brother to the old Convention Hall, on the boardwalk in Wildwood, New Jersey -- right next to a pizza place that ALWAYS had a large sign on the front - FREE PIZZA TOMORROW! Unfortunately, for the pizza, that tomorrow never came! Which is NOT the case for professional wrestling, which has blossomed into MANY tomorrows of the MOST attended and watched sporting events in the Universe!
