Recenzii
. . . [A] fascinating history and engaging personal account of pro-wrestling's background figures, center ring personalities, and day-to-day realities. Informed and informative, Headlocks and Dropkicks will prove to be a popular addition to academic and community library Sports & Athletics reference collections, and is especially commended to the attention of non-specialist general readers with an interest in the colorful and raucous world of professional wrestling.
Kluch is a sports writer and columnist who previously tackled boxing, professional football and college football, and he underwent his own training program to become a professional wrestler in order to provide general readers with insights into the industry, the personalities and the "tricks of the trade." The author interviews wrestlers, promoters and bookers to detail the workout regimens, politics and the still popular themes of good vs. evil that define most competitions. Appendices include a glossary of wrestling terminology as well as a critique of modern wrestling publications.
