On the list. My list also does not include the future buys: Scott Casey’s book Ivan Koloff’s book (by Scott Teal) And if I ever win the lottery or find someone who can track it down - Keith Elliot Greenberg swears he has no idea where to track down a reviewer’s copy - which is all there is: The Iron Sheik: Listen Jabroni. I met Keith Elliot Greenberg at The Collective in Indianapolis last October. He was selling copies of his book Too Sweet: Inside the Indie Wrestling Revolution (he is currently working on a sequel.) I bought a copy of his book (which I read and is very good) and just inside the book's cover he wrote "To Zeke, see you at PWG when all this is over," and then he signed it. In the book, he mentions the Iron Sheik's book and says it was probably the greatest wrestling book of all time but Vince McMahon blocked it from being sold. I recently read Ivan Koloff's book and I thought it was only OK. I actually have seen some tweets of a reviewer’s copy someone got their hands on. I want to know who and what they would charge. |

Thanks for linking this! It is a great listen. It is really sad actually. It kind of turned Scott off to writing wrestler autobiographies/biographies. |

Always glad to see fun wrestling books to read. Thanks for all the work. No worries! Wrestling books are a passion for me. I am always looking for new ones, and if I can share with others titles to look into, then by all means I will do so. |

I got to thank Chad Olson for leading me to Mark James. I just received his Mid-South/UWF Record Book! Great resource! I'll be getting his other books as well! |

I just ordered his Detroit one after hearing Chad recommend him. Detroit is a great collection of results, Matt! It's amazing to see some of the names that passed through there. I was surprised to see how often they ran in Findlay, OH where we lived for a while. |
