I honestly was hoping this book was a little bit longer once I got into it, but it was really only about a short time frame in the early wrestling days. Well worth the listen though! The author paints a good picture of these wrestlers emotions and backgrounds going into the contest.

Interesting Book
Revisado: 09-04-24
This book was an interesting listen. Mr. Elizondo has a very interesting story that he hasn't been able to tell much of. If you've never delved into UAP's this would be a great book to start with. If you know alot about this subject then this book doesn't tell you much. None the less I found it interesting, and well written and read.

Historia
Is Christianity obsolete? Can an intelligent, educated person really believe the Bible? Or do the atheists have it right? In his new book, best-selling author Dinesh D'Souza ( What's So Great about America) investigates both Christianity and atheism and their influences on culture to show why there is, indeed, something great about Christianity.

Historia
"I can lick any son of a bitch in the world." So boasted John L. Sullivan, the first modern heavyweight boxing champion of the world, a man who was the gold standard of American sports for more than a decade and the first athlete to earn more than a million dollars. He had a big ego, a big mouth, and even bigger appetites. His womanizing, drunken escapades, and chronic police-blotter presence were godsends to a burgeoning newspaper industry.

This book was really interesting if your into combat sports. The narrator was really great! From a time period that society has kind of forgotten about, this book was very thorough and painted the picture of the times well. Wasn't sure if it would hold my interest the entire way, but it was all around enjoyable

Historia
The biggest lie in history is about to be shattered. UFOs are real. In late June of 1947, three extraterrestrial craft were downed outside Roswell Air Force Base. Many more followed, revealing dozens of ET species and a Rosetta Stone to a new physics, an energy generation and propulsion system responsible for interstellar space travel. This new system could have easily replaced oil, gas, coal, and nuclear plants - and with them, the entire geopolitical and economic order on our planet. But a cabal of bankers, the military-industrial complex, and Big Oil stopped it.

As a fan of the Ip-man movies I figured I'd at least give this book a shot, but I ended up listening the whole way through. From it's mysterious origins, and some very interesting history into the kinesiology of the art, this book has it all. You could tell the author really cared about accuracy, and truth to the forms of the art. An impressive compilation of information

If your a true crime buff and haven't heard of the Cornbread Mafia before then I'd recommend this book. A pretty wild story, and the author seems to have really dig into these people, their way of life, and public perception of them. Fun listen

Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Gad Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking. A professor at Concordia University who has witnessed this troubling epidemic firsthand, Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of these concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society.
