Experienced wrestling journalist Oliver Hurley, a regular contributor to Power Slam magazine, has scoured 100 years' worth of mat mayhem to reveal the pseudo-sport's oddest bouts, from the contest in which a tag team lost their championship belts six days before they won them, to the match that took place in an exploding swimming pool. With a cast that includes Hulk Hogan, Kendo Nagasaki, Muhammad Ali, a wrestling robot and a monkey, this book goes beyond the accepted canon of headlock history to celebrate the grap game at its very strangest.
