One of pro wrestling's good guys. A wonderful guy and an amazing book.

I'm about 80 pages into this book, and I'm really enjoying it. He was one of my favorite wrestlers. I remember, as a child, how excited I'd get when Boy from NYC start to play.

This was a really fun read full of different stories small and large. Even when he is going through talking about a period of life... he'll drop in a couple of quick road stories. There was never really a dull moment in the book, and you could tell how much passion he has for his current activities at the end of the book as he neared his 2004 retirement (at the time). And from what I gather from current news and posts that he is still loving his wife, wrestling school, etc still to this day. Apparently inflation has not effected Boogie's Wrestling Camp as the pricing posted today online matches what was in his book.
Full of history, stories, and tales of a wildly entertaining career. As a wrestling fan who knew very little about Jimmy Valiant when I decided to make it my next read... this was very entertaining and informative.
