WWE’s side of the story gives such a wrong impression that it’s cultivated a generation of wrestling fans who honestly believe that WCW was never good, and only existed for as long as it did because of Ted Turner’s deep pockets. This book tells the side of the story WWE doesn’t want you to hear, and looks back on ...

Choosing to create advantaged positions and avoid disadvantaged positions is the most underutilized strategic asset in wrestling. The wrestler who wrestles in his highest advantage position, for the longest time in the match, will have the greater probability of winning. That is the reason why two wrestlers wrestle multiple times with drastically different outcomes, and why the logic doesn't hold that if one wrestler beat another he should be able to beat the wrestler his prior opponent beat.

I walked into an auditorium to find a group of artist perform, "la danse des sauvages," or simply the dance of the savages, with a dozen few people watching them from the benches, I asked for what purpose were they doing it for, was it a performance of sorts? When a director replied instantly claiming that he wanted to show the world how savage we are, any form of entertainment that promotes violence, encourages civil disobedience and harden people's hearts is savage, however peacefully it may be presented, what matters most is the outcome.

Some time in the 1920s Salmson Creak wrote this instructional manual which reads like a rambling love affair with the art of Jiu-Jitsu. I think that this is something many of us can relate to in this day and age, as we recall the recent golden age of Jiu-Jitsu in the various MMA formats, and the sense among all martial artists that this form of grappling was indeed the last word in fighting, a holy grail of hand-to-hand combat. But Creak is advising the reader to replace his other self defense preferences with jiu-jitsu for the very reasons we once heard offered for using more modern ...
