Tuesday Night At The Gardens: Pro Wrestling In Louisville

Very well done but that's what Jim Cornette does when it comes to his book projects over the years. He and Mark James put out a great release with this history of Louisville wrestling.

I like old wrestling stories. I was hoping for a lot of them in this pretty substantial book. However this is pretty strictly an almanac of the night by night occurances at the Louisville scene with detailed results and figures that go on. If you want to research this specific time period and location in wrestling history this book is authoritative. If you're looking for lots of stories you might be annoyed by the recordkeeping and repetiton. The stories are like liner notes and there aren't enough of them to satiate but what is there is great.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I love this book. It is a great history of the Louisville,KY wrestling sceen and a good overview of the entire Gulas-Welch opperation. I really love all the clipping reprints, worth their weight in gold. But I must admit my favorite part is the chapter on the promotion war with Phil Golden. This usually is forgotten but deserves more attention and respect than it gets. I must admit I have a much higher opinion and fonder memories of the Golden promotion than Cornette. But his attitude doesn't surprise or offend me. Most of the Jarrett fans rejected Golden, who had his best success in the small to middle sized towns across the Commonwealth. But man am I glad to see this coverage and all the ad reprints. Thought I was going to have to drive up to Louisville and spend the day on microfiche in the library to ever see those again. All in all this is a GREAT book that every 55 year old Kentuckian should own.

Great Book! Thanks for the memories man! The book is jam packed with pictures, posters, fliers and comments. Highly Recommended for all REAL Memphis Wrestling Fans.
