Review of Wrestling by Frank Gotch

Saturday August 23, 2008
2008 marks the 100 year anniversary of what is generally considered the first World Championship title change. On April 3, 1908, Frank Gotch beat World Champion George Hackenschmidt at the Dexter Park Pavilion on Chicago's south side in a match that went on for almost 2 hours. Shortly after that match, Gotch wrote this book, which was recently republished by Paladin Press. While this book is a real piece of wrestling history, you'll have to read my review to see if it is worth $18.
