For decades, wrestling was shrouded in secrecy. It had larger-than-life personalities, bone-crunching physicality and jaw-dropping theatrics, but backstage, it was an industry devoid of outsiders. Then in 1999, after working together on a special for MTV, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson turned to 26-year-old television writer Brian Gewirtz and asked, “You ever consider writing for WWE?” That question, and its answer, would have a profound effect on both of their lives for years to come. There's Just One Problem is a story about perseverance, tenacity, and steel chairs.

Ballyhoo! The Roughhousers, Con Artists, and Wildmen Who Invented Professional Wrestling is a history of professional wrestling’s formative period in the U.S., from roughly 1874 to 1941, and the contested interplay of wrestlers and promoters who built the “sport” as we know it. During this period, the major conventions that would define wrestling to the present day were perfected and codified, as wrestling morphed from a rough sport practiced on farms and at town gatherings to melodramatic mass entertainment that reliably drew large crowds in cities across the nation.

But what separates standout sports stars from the rest? In a paradigm-shifting new theory, acclaimed sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald identifies two key traits behind athletic success: strict self-regulation over thoughts and emotions and an unquenchable psychological need to pursue victory—even when it means enduring extreme mental and physical suffering.

But what separates standout sports stars from the rest? In a paradigm-shifting new theory, acclaimed sportswriter Matt Fitzgerald identifies two key traits behind athletic success: strict self-regulation over thoughts and emotions and an unquenchable psychological need to pursue victory—even when it means enduring extreme mental and physical suffering.

Then in 1999, after working together on a special for MTV, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson turned to 26-year-old television writer Brian Gewirtz and asked, “You ever consider writing for WWE?” That question, and its answer, would have a profound effect on both of their lives for years to come.

Ballyhoo! The Roughhousers, Con Artists, and Wildmen Who Invented Professional Wrestling is a history of professional wrestling’s formative period in the U.S., from roughly 1874 to 1941, and the contested interplay of wrestlers and promoters who built the “sport” as we know it. During this period, the major conventions that would define wrestling to the present day were perfected and codified, as wrestling morphed from a rough sport practiced on farms and at town gatherings to melodramatic mass entertainment that reliably drew large crowds in cities across the nation.

AI reading is just awful
The story was good but the AI reading was terrible. So many words mispronounced or just wrong. Made me say many times what? Until I figured out what/who it was talking about. Calling AEW ewe and the legendary JR jr? Just awful

Story is fantastic, The AI narrator is awful
Please have a real person redo the narration. The AI screwed up so many wrestling words…the One Twenty Three Kid, AEW was turned into a sound. It was awful, Earl deserves better. The publisher screwed Earl

Was the Montreal screwjob a work?
Earl Hebner, who will be best remembered as the referee for the infamous Montreal screwjob, has many great wrestling stories in his official story. Hebner shares his side of the what happened in Montreal, when the departing Bret "The Hitman" Hart was screwed out of the WWF title in front of the stunned Canadian fans, and a large pay-per-view audience. Hebner also address the many conspiracy theories associated with the Screwjob finish. Was it all an elaborate work?
Hebner is honest in his official story tell out book, praising those he enjoyed working with, but also calling out those he didn't. Hebner tells how the twin referee angle with his identical brother involving Hulk Hogan happened. He also discusses the notorious "Plane Ride From Hell" episode, from his perspective. Hebner a shares his memories on the night Owen Hart tragically fe;l to his death during a WWE live event.
Hebner also shares the full story on his WWE firing, and turning down an opportunity to return and receiving an induction into the WWE hall of fame. Hebner talks about why he didn't originally want to go to TNA, and what ultimately made his change his mind. Trust me, this is a must have wrestling book!
