From the host of the critically acclaimed pro wrestling podcast Straight Shoot , this graphic novel history of wrestling features the key grapplers, matches, and promotions that shaped this beloved sport and form of entertainment. As a pop culture phenomenon, professional wrestling--with its heroic babyfaces and villainous heels performing suplexes and powerbombs in pursuit of championship gold--has conquered audiences in the United States and around the world. Now, writer/podcaster Aubrey Sitterson and illustrator Chris Moreno form a graphic novel tag team to present wrestling''s complete illustrated history. Featuring legendary wrestlers like Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, and The Rock, and modern-day favorites like John Cena, Kenny Omega, and Sasha Banks, the book covers wrestling''s progress from the carnival days of the Gold Dust Trio to the dominance of the WWF/WWE to today''s diverse independent wrestling scene, and it spotlights wrestling''s reach into Mexico/Puerto Rico (lucha libre), the U.K. (all-in), and Japan (puroresu).
