Eat Sleep Wrestle tells the stories of pro wrestlers you love – and love to hate.
Our journey with professional wrestling began with a book about the history of wrestling in Louisville, Kentucky. That book about a city led to new stories: The Black Panther Jim Mitchell; Elvira Snodgrass; Heywood Allen and Francis and Betty McDonogh of the Allen Athletic Club; and yes, Kenny “Starmaker” Bolin.
As time went on, the stories of more wrestlers came to us, directly or through friends and family: Tracy Smothers, Princess Victoria, Hurricane JJ Maguire, and Chris Candido.
Some historical deep dives led to more stories like Mars Bennett and June Byers.
And for Mad Man Pondo? We badgered him until he agreed to do a book.
Along the way we started writing about current wrestlers: folks you may know like Cash Flo and The Outrunners, and people I hope you’ll know better soon like Reese Ramone and Shaloncè Royal.
Every man and woman who has ever set foot in a wrestling ring has a story to tell. Doesn’t matter if they were a wrestler, a manager, a ref, a photographer, or even a composer. Doesn’t matter if they were big time or small. Matter of fact, it’s the “small time” folks who often tell the best stories.
