There are still many folks that follow this entertainment form, but this is an enthralling history of the spectacle that was and is Pro Wrestling.

Anticipated a fine read but was soon broken hearted with what I call his homework. Somewhere around 30 or more pages of credits etc., mind you the book is only 130 pages? The book gives new meaning to the phrase, "what a waste of money".

This review is from: The Revenge of Hatpin Mary (Paperback)
My great-grandmother was a HUGE fan of wrestling and I related to so much of this book because of her passion! There are still many folks that follow this entertainment form, but this is an enthralling history of the spectacle that was and is Pro Wrestling.
It's also a great examination and analysis of fandom during a period of growth for women in the US. Heaps of historical insight that are forgotten by many that lived during the 30s, 40s & 50s and may not understood by young people today Great inside info into how women found common ground in a form of entertainment & used it to form a women's community. Helped women find public voices, including desires! I would have loved seeing more images and fanzines! It would be a dynamite website! |
