Overview
The book consists almost entirely of interviews with professional wrestlers (or those who knew them), including Mick McManus, Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks, Kendo Nagasaki and female wrestler Klondyke Kate, often giving the appearance of a conversation between the interviewees and the author.
Garfield also interviews those involved in the promotion of professional wrestling, with a particular focus on the decision of LWT chief Greg Dyke to drop the sport from its schedules in 1988.[1]

gollark: You could try the windows subsystem for Linux, apparently it mostly works.
