Non-bio:

Shoot First, Ask Questions Later

I am sure there are more but that is all I can think of off the top of my head. Like I said, I am such a mark.

I would love to read the Lou Thesz book, but I haven't gotten around to ordering it offline. I am hoping to get a copy of Dutch's book pretty soon.

You can probably get them all through your local Library. That's what I have done. They can order them from other librarys around the country.

I have read all of those with the exception of Labell's. You will really like Dutch's book.

I have kept them listed on Amazon, in order to get pop-ups of new one's that come out and it looks like I have read 104 over the last 10 years. Some other's that you need to include on your list:


Arn Anderson - 4 Ever
DDP - Positively Page
Kurt Angle - It's True, It's True
Missy Hyatt - First Lady of Wrestling
In the Pit with Piper: Roddy gets Rowdy
The Fabulous Moolah - Lillian Ellison
Broken Harts - The life and Death of Owen Hart
Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerreo Story
Dusty - Reflections of an American Dream
Gotch - An American Hero
Brisco: The life and times of national collegiate and world heavyweight wrestling champion
Wrestling at the Chase
Bodyslams - Memoirs of a Wrestling Pitchman


and by far, the most interesting read that I have EVER read, regardless of wrestling or any other topic: Sheikg of Baghdad, the - Tales of clelbrity and terror from pro wrestlings general Adnan. In Iraq, he was wrestling in front of crowds of 250K. This was a phenominal story.
