Tuff Stuff Professional Wrestling,

This review is from: Tuff Stuff Professional Wrestling Field Guide: Legend and Lore (Paperback)
502 pages of wrestler's short biographies. Enjoyed the book but was disappointed author left out some high profile pro wrestling legends. Some that come to mind are Blackjack Lanza,Red Bastian, Billy Red Lyons, Antonio Rocca.Including wrestlers like David Flair in the book does not make for good reading.If not for his famous father Ric,why did the author even waste the print on him? Otherwise Some of the wrestlers included in the book were confined to certain territories and hence few of us fans ever got to see them wrestle a match. I did enjoyed some of the old photos and write-ups of the wrestlers both past and present.I wish the author would have included more high profile wrestlers that have had the advantage of appearing on TV or cable.
