Kayfabe: A Love Story
“Never in my wildest dreams, Mean Gene, would I think that I would get ripped off by a penny-pinching, two-timing referee! How much money on the plastic surgery!? How much money did he spend to pay the referee off!?” – Hulk Hogan (The Main Event).
-----
On February 5th, 1988, former World Wrestling Federation Champion, Hulk Hogan, made a damning allegation. He accused "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase of fronting the bill for a desperate man's risky and invasive facial plastic surgery to look like referee Dave Hebner.
And I believed him.

So step around the shards of glass from the broken barbershop window and cozy up next to your favorite top turnbuckle, because A Love Story is indeed a happening.

I really enjoyed this book. A very funny & nostalgic trip back to the 80's and 90's, reliving the classic larger than life characters and stories that made wrestling so much fun growing up.
