If you want celebrities, there’s Debbie Harry, Andy Kaufman, Cyndi Lauper, Arnold Schwarzenegger and more, all posing with pro wrestling greats.If you want historic moments, there’s everything from Muhammad Ali being airplane spun by Gorilla Monsoon to Valentine/Piper to the Age in a Cage between Hogan and Piper.” — f4wonline“It’s not difficult to state that any wrestling fan with a true love for the art of pro wrestling will be enthralled with the turn of every page.” — Perspectives on Wrestling“A great coffee table book … a MUST HAVE for all wrestling fans.” — WrestlingFigs.com“What separates this book from being just a coffee table book with lots of pictures is the story that George tells, which is a personal one as much as it is a history lesson. Pro wrestling has shaped who George is, as well as the relationship he has, and no photog has gotten as close to these wrestlers as he is.” — The Fight Nerd“A fascinating cross-section of pro wrestling that spans nearly three decades.” — SLAM!
