Legends is definitely something anyone who wanted a deeper
knowledge of the past should have, and it works well as a quick
reference piece when looking for information on a particular person
or erathere are not many people who can summarize a period quite
the way [Hornbaker] can. --Rich Tate,

I got my copy of Legends of Pro Wrestling: 150 Years of Headlocks,
Body Slams, and Piledrivers today in the mail and spent two hours
reading just parts of it. It lists just about every major wrestler
in history and gives a short Bio written by a true historian. Fun
book and will be valued as a research tool by many. --Steve Yohe,
Wrestling Historian
Legends of Pro Wrestling is a most comprehensive study and right up
to date. I love the format. We all have our favorites and this
format allows me to zero in on the earliest time periods and my
favorite wrestlers. Some of the magnificent photographs I've never
seen before and I've seen a lot. Your book was impossible to put
down all afternoon long. --John Rauer, Wrestling Historian
The recently published book, Legends of Pro Wrestling is an
interesting and useful guide to cataloging and memorializing the
wrestlers who made professional wrestling so entertaining for so
many people for so many decades. Besides providing readers with a
photo and brief biography, Tim Hornbaker has allowed the seriously
interested fan or historian the information that can set them off
on a search for further data. For example, knowing a wrestler's
high school, college or hometown can permit an endless development
of knowledge. Thanks for a fun and practical book! --Bob Bryla,
Screening Committee, Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in
Amsterdam, NY
