The result was two controversial but legitimate wrestling matches, whose effects were felt for the next two decades.

I honestly was hoping this book was a little bit longer once I got into it, but it was really only about a short time frame in the early wrestling days. Well worth the listen though! The author paints a good picture of these wrestlers emotions and backgrounds going into the contest.

Very interesting story!
