One of the better Wrestling books
Terry Funk was one of those wrestlers who you used to watch and think, this chaps a bit wierd and doesn't look like a modern wrestler. After reading the book and watching the film / documentary Beyond the Mat, Terry comes across as a normal, hard working bloke who kind of fell into the Business and still finds himself there. He is able to demonstrate an almost fly on the wall perspective of wrestling through the years and comes out the end looking like he was able to avoid quite a bit of the politics and emerge as a well liked and respected man and wrestler. After reading alot of these books that in itself is quite rare!!

hardcore legend,friend familyman, well i think so!
when i started reading this book i really didnt know what to expect, i thought well if i dont like it,i wont bother, well after only a few pages i use to look forward to going to bed to read what was going on next.
it is funny, it is sad in places especially when he refers to the loss of many a good wrestler, but most of all it written as if he is just sitting in your living room talking about his life.
i throughly enjoyed this book it was a pleasure to read and would recomend it to anyone who loves the glory days when the magic was still around and you believed the fueds were real.
