This book was co-written by Joey V, one of the announcers for the West Coast Wrestling Connection show out of Portland. Grappler is on every week along with quite a few LOW guys. Full shows can be found on YouTube. Latest episode: WCWC Ep12 www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-cmMBlMGMM |

The Grappler is one of the nicest guys I've ever met working with CWFH. And it is amazing to me how much heat he can get from the audience, so effortlessly. The first rinsed I did with him, all he said was, "Unlike the cheap people out here." and the audience went NUTS! I could barely hear the rest of the interview because the audience was so loud and he was standing right next to me. Just a true class act. I will be getting his book for sure.

I'd definitely give this one a look...PNW is a very underappreciated territory and Grappler was a big part of that in the 80s.

I stayed up late last night reading this and I'm about 10% from the end. It's the best wrestling book I've read in years, almost as good as Foley's first book and Terry Funk's.

I placed my order tonight. I'm sure this book will be better than the last two wrestling books I read (Jimmy Snuka and George Steele.)

I ordered mine yesterday as well. I didn't feel like waiting to see if they had them at the next show I see him at. I would like him to sign it but he's elusive. Saw him roaming around without his mask once but he was in a hurry.

I got this book in the mail tonight. Definitely the next wrestling book I plan on reading.
