Overview

Wrestling legend Tony Atlas once said, When a wrestler walked down the street thirty years ago, people said, 'Either he's a wrestler or the circus is in town.' It was a tough man's business, protected by a code of secrecy. Today, many pro wrestlers look like the kid who delivers your morning newspaper and even casual fans know many of wrestling's inner workings. The evolution of professional wrestling has allowed wannabes easy access into the business and little hope for success, until now. The Professional Wrestler in the World of Sports-Entertainment by Matt Murphy provides current and aspiring wrestlers a guiding light in their pursuits of wrestling stardom.
