SynopsisIt's an argument that wrestling fans have debated for generations: who is the greatest of all time? Compiled by three of the industry's leading experts with the help of several historians, Wrestling Observer's Top 100 Pro Wrestlers of All Time is the answer to that question. They're all here: Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Gorgeous George, Lou Thesz, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Buddy Rogers, Frank Gotch. Wrestlers from all over the world -- the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Europe, India, South America -- men and women trained in every style and discipline are represented, making the Top 100 a truly global ranking. Over a century of wrestling history is covered as the Top 100 ranks the industry's greatest stars from the 1890s to the new millennium and every era in between -- the turn-of-the-century when the industry was a hybrid of work and shoot; the explosion of wrestling on network television in the 1940s; the "good'ol days" of the territories and the National Wrestling Alliance; and the modern age of pay-per-view and the Monday night ratings wars. Who made the list? Who didn't make the cut? This ranking will serve as a catalyst for heated discussions, as wrestling fans will defiantly debate the order of the list and make a case for the inclusion of one of their favorites who was snubbed. The Top 100 will both enlighten and enrage, keeping fans enthralled in spirited debate for years to come. Let the arguments begin. Book jacket., Heavily photographic, this book takes a Top 100 scrapbook approach to the greatest sports entertainment in the world--pro wrestling.
