It was a very revealing perspective of the AWA from one of the less memorable faces of the promotion. It was an easy read. A lot of new stories in this book. 3/5

This is a fun read. Very short book with a lot of interesting stories about Larry's days in the AWA wrestling organization. I would have given this 4 stars, but question the truthfulness of some of the stories.

This is the second time I've read this book. The historical inaccuracies in the book is pretty bad, but there are still some good stories that former AWA announcer Larry Nelson tells. For a more in depth review, go to my blog page.
