Professional Wrestling Book Recs!

At the heart of professional wrestling is storytelling. In its simplest form, good guys compete against bad guys. In its more complex form, years of wrestling history can influence storytelling beats and crowd reactions. It's theater and includes costumes, acrobatics, and a great deal of showmanship. The more you know about professional wrestling, the more you’ll recognize the nuances of the storytelling; however, previous knowledge is not required. Professional wrestling is a spectacle all its own with flips and glitz abound.

If you’ve ever wanted a peak into the wild and sometimes wacky world of professional wrestling, check out this reading list!
