ປັບ​ປຸງ​ໃຫ້​ທັນ

I decided to take on a shorter book project on a 19th-Century wrestler to be completed in late summer or early fall 2023.

The next project after this book will be a longer book on a wrestler, who wrestled several legitimate contests in the 1920s.

Review

Sticking with the theme of professional wrestling’s checkered reputation, I review Dangerous Breed, the Peacock original documentary on Tedy Hart. Peacock is currently streaming this three episode sereis. The documentary details how aspiring wrestlers come to Hart for instruction and how it ends for many of the hopefuls.
