Over the years he has been involved in all aspects of the sport\, and he now offers detailed\, behind-the-scenes accounts of important matches from 1954 to 1990 and stories of wrestler personalities\, both in and out of the ring. He shares his own extensive collection of wrestling memorabilia— photographs\, program covers\, newspaper clippings\, and other ephemera—to honor the hardworking characters who forged serial storylines onstage week after week and who thrilled fans by carrying out their plots in the ring\, with blood\, sweat\, tears\, and high-flying body slams for all.
