This review is from: Rulers of the Ring: Wrestling's Hottest Superstars (Paperback)

Even though I don't agree with the shenanigans that go on in wrestling every week, my 11-year old son absolutely adores these guys! When he passed his mid-terms, I promised to buy him a book so he could read more about his favorite stars and out of all the books on the market he chose Rulers of the Ring!

He loves the book because not only has he learned more about his favorite wrestlers, he also thinks the pictures are cool. I was also extremely pleased with his purchase as the book not only stays clear from the T&A, it is also modestly priced. That's important when you have three other mouths to feed. :) I highly recommend this book to all parents out there who's children watch wrestling and they want to know more about their Rulers of the Ring.
