Gorgeous George Book Review

Wednesday November 5, 2008
Gorgeous George is a name that almost every wrestling fan has heard of but few have ever seen or know much about. Thanks to YouTube, the first problem has been solved. With the recent release of Gorgeous George: The Outrageous Bad-Boy Wrestler Who Created American Pop Culture, the second problem has now been solved. Written by John Capouya, the book not only describes how George changed wrestling, it also details how he changed pop culture.

I was originally supposed to get a review copy of this book almost two months ago but for some reason there was a huge delay in getting it out to me. When I finally got the book, the first thing I wondered was whether this book was worth the wait. As my review of this book explains, it definitely was.
