Help support indie publishing like we are doing with indie wrestling. All 'Mania weekend, the Ring Walk is on sale as we hope to launch it up the best-seller lists to show that pro wrestling fans aren't, well, illiterate and poor. Pro wrestling is art and a part of American culture, a culture that this book examines with an incisive and unique voice. It deserves respect as high culture. This book does that.
Because we are so passionate, fans of "the Greatest Thing on Earth" are able to create new, breakout stars. When we get behind somebody, we don't stop until "a rocketship is strapped to their ass and the sumbitch is lit on fire."
The Ring Walk wants to be that sort of breakout act.
No gimmick. No scripted promos. No fake tans, lipo or implants. Just an undeniable personality with the volume turned up.
Flex Italiano might be the best talker since Bobby Heenan and the book is packed with Easter eggs and in-jokes for fans, as well as lyrical, heartbreaking prose, a great heist caper, and one spectacularly filthy joke.
Check out the video trailers below for excerpts read by the author.
Remember how you felt when you joined "the Yes Movement?" When we occupied Raw? When you realized it was a New Day? When Andre turned on Hogan? When Larry betrayed Bruno (a cornerstone and thematic part of this novel)? When Ric Flair retired? When Foley flew from the cage?
This book will make you feel that way all over again.
Like so many breakout stars of Wrestlemania weekends past, Austin at 14, Bryan at 30, Keith Lee on the indies in 2017, the Ring Walk is a product of years of hard work trying to become an overnight success. Only you can make that happen.
Its still real in The Ring Walk, dammit!
