Reviews:
Wrestling historian Steve Yohe wrote: “I got my copy of 'LEGENDS
OF PRO WRESTLING: 150 Years of Headlocks, Body Slams, & Piledrivers' today
in the mail & spent two hours reading just parts of it. It lists just about
every major wrestler in history & gives a short Bio written by a true
historian. Fun book & will be valued as a research tool by many. Photos are
present on everyone.”
Wrestling historian John Rauer received a copy of the book and
wrote, “This Legends of Pro Wrestling is a most comprehensive study and right
up to date. I love the format. We all have our favorites and this format allows
me to zero in on the earliest time periods and my favorite wrestlers. Some of
the magnificent photographs I've never seen before and I've seen a lot. Your
book was impossible to put down all afternoon long.”
One of the people behind the amazing Professional Wrestling Hall
of Fame in Amsterdam, NY, Bob Bryla offered a review of "Legends of Pro
Wrestling." He wrote: “The recently published book, "Legends of Pro
Wrestling", is an interesting and useful guide to cataloging and
memorializing the wrestlers who made professional wrestling so entertaining for
so many people for so many decades. Besides providing readers with a photo and
brief biography, Tim Hornbaker has allowed the seriously interested fan or
historian the information that can set them off on a search for further data.
For example, knowing a wrestler's high school, college or hometown can permit
an endless development of knowledge. Thanks for a fun and practical book!”
