A "unofficial" sequel to Pro Wrestling 101. This is the second
wrestling book, by Kyle Bowman. It provides more in-depth views and
opinions. This time, he writes more about a different stance,
consistent with more of a blue print or how-to's in wrestling. This
second short wrestling story is of the "lost" chapters. It includes
content not featured in Pro Wrestling 101: By a Fan for fans. It
also has a compilation of some chapters, to better show a "booking"
perspective, and how it applies in wrestling. Read this creative
opinion piece, and then you'll find yourself in the mind of a
intriguing creator. This book details characters, persona creation,
match types and settings. And lastly, the "bread and butter" of the
book- he lifts off the veil to reveal: Storylines In all, this book
will show the "best" of what pro wrestling is, and should be- along
with other blueprints along the way, paving the industry's success
as we know it today
Pro wrestling in America is a multi-billion dollar business. Pro
wrestling in Britain is skint and hasn't been on national
television since the days of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks. For
British Wrestling, a resurrection is long overdue. But with no
money and no TV deal, the revival was never going to be easy...
Greg Lambert was just a wrestling fan until one night, he
innocently turned on the radio and life was never the same again.
As Britain's unlikeliest ring villain and head of its most famous
wrestling company, the FWA, Greg embarked on the quest for British
Wrestling's Holy Grail - a five-year odyssey of ecstatic highs,
depressing lows, extreme violence, financial meltdown and
encounters with wrestling superstars like CM Punk, Daniel Bryan,
Mick Foley, Bret 'The Hitman' Hart and Jake 'The Snake' Roberts.
Crammed with Greg's personal experiences, opinion and insight into
some of the biggest British Wrestling events, issues and
personalities of the past decade, this is the inside story of how a
hungry new generation of UK wrestlers fought to emerge from the
shadows. This is the true story of British Wrestling's revival.
"A very interesting and enjoyable read." Dan Gable, Wrestling
Olympic Champion, World Champion, NCAA Champion, coached Iowa to
nine NCAA team championships, US Olympic Coach "God often uses the
least likely people, like wrestlers, to glorify Himself. The
stories are funny - the characters are real." Kyle Rote, Jr.,
National Soccer Hall of Fame, Champion of ABC Superstars,
motivational speaker "An incredible history lesson... that God used
AIA Wrestling to alter the landscape of the sport. A remarkable
book." Tim Johnson, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Wrestling
Broadcaster for Big Ten and ESPN Networks In His Grip tells the
true story of how a group of athletes came together to create a new
team with an important mission. This group of athletes would become
National Wrestling Team Champions as well as Olympic and USA World
Championship team members, but that is not what motivated them.
