Author Description

Men from around the world share their most personal wrestling memories from childhood to adulthood--a deep and intimate look at the homoerotic nature of wrestling and its cult-like grip on men of all ages. From being turned on watching pro wrestling on TV as a kid and not knowing why, to sneaking peeks at the amateur wrestling books to see the holds, these 130 stories reveal the universal attraction of wrestling for many men, regardless of sexuality. Guys candidly share their personal wrestling experiences with friends, cousins, uncles, classmates, bullies, and more. This book is featured in the documentary "STRONGHOLD: In the Grip of Wrestling" available at wrestlingfilm.com.
