Book ID/图书代码： 05793015B78409

English Summary/英文概要： Sport? Entertainment? Art form? Perhaps a bit of all three, with a certain intangible extra something thrown in for good measure, making professional wrestling a truly unique entity unto itself. From its origins in carnivals and sideshow attractions of the 19th century, right up to the multimillion-dollar, multimedia industry of the present day, and all the bizarre, wild, and woolly points in between, Pro Wrestling FAQ delves into the entire history and broad scope of one of popular culture s most enduring yet ever-changing spectacles. With chapters devoted to the many fascinating eras in the history of the business, as well as capsule biographies of some its most memorable and important figures, this book will serve as the ultimate one-volume reference guide for both long-time wrestling nuts and initiates to the grappling phenomenon. Revisit the legendary 1911 Match of the Century pitting World Champion Frank Gotch against archrival George Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion ; experience wrestling s TV golden age in the 1950s, a time of such colourful personages as Gorgeous George and Antonino Rocca; relive the glory days of Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant, when WWF impresario Vince McMahon took the business mainstream; and get the lowdown on recent favourites, such as John Cena, CM Punk, and others who have taken the business boldly into the 21st century.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 运动？娱乐？艺术形式吗？或许这三者兼顾，似乎游走于某些无形的形式，让职业摔跤成为了一种真正独特的实体本身而存在着。这项独特的运动起源于狂欢节目，到19世纪成为了杂耍客串表演，而至今今日多媒体行业的推动下，可谓吸金无数，而职业摔跤所散发出的奇特的，而又充满这狂野的动作，和介乎于疯狂与理智之间的运动，本书深入探讨了这项运动的整段历史，以及它作为流行文化最为持久的，然而却不断变化着，上演着精彩场景背后的真实缘由。(Sandy)
