Review of Bodyslams by Gary Michael Capetta

Sunday February 26, 2006
I had the pleasure to review the book Bodyslams by Gary Michael Cappetta. Gary was a former ring announcer for the WWWF, WWF, AWA, NWA & WCW. Gary worked for the WWWF prior to the national expansion and then worked for the AWA when they tried to compete with the WWF expansion. A little while later, he was in the NWA (later known as WCW) prior to the sale to Ted Turner and stayed until the time Eric Bischoff turned that company around. There are some great stories in the book (including carrying back Mick Foley's ear to the locker room) and some even better advice for any wrestler that is currently in the indys or for anyone that is thinking of getting into the business.
