There's never been anything like it before. It is literally the history of pro wrestling in Western Canada. Something like this should be carried in all western Canadian libraries. It's more than just a historical document. It injects humor into the business with the input of wrestling anecdotes by wrestlers as they moved up and down the ladder of success. Incredible value for the price. Wayne Stanton (promoter) Excellent publication!

The amount of heart, dedication and time Vance Nevada has put into this heartfelt work cannot be ignored. It shows in the book, his passion for the business and art of professional wrestling poured onto every page. Even that aside, the materal is simply jaw dropping. Learn who wrestled a bear... and won! Read about the history of midget and women wrestling in Western Canada (which has never even been touched ANYWHERE). There are great road stories, complete histories of every company that's ever run in the territory and way, way more. This is not a read once and put back on the shelf book. You'll find yourself reading it again and again, such is the amount of information possessed inside. As a Western Canadian based wrestler of many years, this book sings to me. It's interesting to know how wrestlers from 20, 30, 40 years ago suffer through the same highs and lows this generation does. You need this book. It's going to be completely slept on and honestly one of the best wrestling books I have ever read. -Adrian Walls I have had the priviledge of not just reading through this entire book, but being able to watch the progress from idea to publication.
