Nowadays, wrestling just isn't the same. Many fans' heroes growing up--whether it's Randy \"Macho Man\" Savage or Curt \"Mr. Perfect\" Hennig--have passed away well before they should have, and many favorite gimmicks and story angles have been permanently retired. With humorous poignancy, \u003ci\u003eA Battle Royal In The Sky\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates both 50 legends we lost, and 50 gimmicks. Told from a true fan's perspective with superstar career highlights and lowlights, this book also features quotes from some icons in the wrestling business including \"Superfly\" Jimmy Snuka and Nikolai Volkoff, matched with funny and factual wrestling sidebars ranging from worst celebrity WrestleMania appearances to top rated wrestling managers who were pets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Chattman, Rich Tarantino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908051485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908051486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pitch Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.50d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jon Chattman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906967359743,"sku":"9781908051486","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b16484f8-6dca-42e2-9b2d-0c68a50bb8dc.jpg?v=1748771916","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-battle-royal-in-the-jon-chattman-9781908051486","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
