Review: Season's Beatings By John Cosper

Season's Beatings: Holiday Greetings From Wrestling's Golden Age
John Cosper
Create Space, 2017
Paperback

Eat, Sleep, Wrestle's John Cosper has released Season's Beatings: Holiday Greetings From Wrestling's Golden Age. The book is a collection of Christmas messages harvested from a late 1940s California wrestling event program. 

The book is a very unique and enjoyable title. While not a typical wrestling book, - it is essentially promo shots with Christmas messages from wrestling personalities - it is a great choice for those looking for a short form coffee table book, those with an interest in the era or looking for a unique - but well compiled - title in the pro wrestling genre.

Review: Looking At The Lights: My Path From Fan To A Wrestling Heel By Pete Gas With Jon Robinson

Looking At The Lights: My Path From Fan To A Wrestling Heel
Pete Gas, w. Jon Robinson, Adam "Edge" Copeland (Foreword) & John Bradshaw Layfield (Foreword)
Sports Publishing, 2017
Hardcover, Ebook

Pete "Gas" Gasparino's Looking At The Lights is the story of one of the most atypical members of the WWE Attitude Era roster. A non-wrestler with a "regular job," Gas instantly became a high profile WWE personality when he appeared as a member of Shane McMahon's "Mean Street Posse" at the height of the Attitude Era. Despite having no previous training and no designs of joining the WWE Roster on a full-time basis, Gas (along with Rodney and, later, Joey Abs) remained roster mainstays for over a year. This is Gas' first book.
