New York Times bestselling author! Here is the story of how Jim
Ross, an Oklahoman farm kid with a vivid imagination and seemingly
unattainable dreams, became "The Voice of Wrestling" to record TV
audiences and millions of fans around the world. There are few
people who have been in the wrestling business longer than Jim
Ross. And those who have made it as long as he has (half a century
to be exact) probably made enemies or burned bridges. But that's
just not JR. He's recognized as the man who built and nurtured a
once-in-a-generation talent roster that took the WWE to new
heights, including "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, and The
Rock to name a few. Readers will finally get the opportunity to
hear never-before-told stories about the politics, wackiness, and
personalities of all the biggest stars. Jim opens up about his life
as an only child on a working farm, who became obsessed with
professional wrestling having first saw it on his grandparent's TV.
Even though the wrestling business was notoriously secretive and
wary of "outsiders," he somehow got a foot in the door to start a
historic career, one where he held almost every job in the
business-from putting up the ring to calling matches, from driving
his blind, drunk boss towards revenge, to consoling two naked 600
pound brothers in the shower room after a rough match. This isn't
just a wrestling story. It's a story about overcoming adversity and
achieving your dreams, as success did not come without significant
costs and unforeseen challenges to JR, including multiple bouts of
severe facial paralysis called Bell's Palsy. Currently the host of
the podcast The Ross Report, any fan of wrestling-from the
territory days to today-will be enthralled with stories from the
road and behind the scenes. Slobberknocker is the first time Ross
tells his story-and you don't want to miss it!
