Book Reviews of I Was a Teenage Professional Wrestler

Book Review: The sport of dogs
Summary: 5 Stars

This is another book review from Wolfie and Kansas, the boonie dogs from Toto, Guam. We like wrestling for three reasons. First, we wrestle with each other and with other dogs. Second, our noncanine animals of primate derivation usually let us in the house to watch WWF Raw and Pay-per-views. Third, no other sport has so frequently paid tribute to canines. The ranks of great wrestlers include Dick 'the Bulldog' Brower, Junkyard Dog, Mad Dog Vachon, Bulldog Bob Brown, and tag teams like the Moondogs, the British Bulldogs, and the Pitbulls.

Unfortunately, we have little opportunity to combine our love of pro wrestling with our love of reading, as no one has written a good nonfiction book for adults about pro wrestling. Until someone does, Ted Lewin's "I Was a Teenage Professional Wrestler", which is written for the young adult audience, will fill the gap quite nicely. This book combines anecdotes and the author's paintings to give the reader a sense of what it was like to be a wrestler in the 1950's. This is a superb book for puppies, and a very interesting diversion for adults.
