Memoirs of a Wrestling Pitchman by Gary Michael
Cappetta This is the autobiography of the
former WWF and WCW ring announcer Gary Michael
Cappetta.
the
Folowing is a review from Amazon.com
I've read all
of the wrestling books that have been written in
recent years. I have also read the
autobiographies by Lou Thesz and Bruno
Sammartino. Without a doubt, Gary Michael
Cappetta's "BODYSLAMS!" is the most
revealing, most informative, most literate,
funniest and even the most heart warming book
ever written about professional wrestling. Foley
was careful not to tell too much about his
buddies in the WWF. Chyna, The Rock and Goldberg
also still on promoters' payrolls, haven't been
wrestling long enough to lend a rich perspective
of the wrestling game. Page avoids the truth
about the behind the scenes politics that gave
him his spot with WCW. And who cares what JR is
cooking? This book has it all. If you want a
comprehensive look at how it all began, why
wrestling is where it's at today and Gary's
thoughts about how the game can be healthy in
future years, then you must read
"BODYSLAMS!". Cappetta's behind the
scenes stories provide an up close and personal
look at dozens of current superstars, as well as
many of the legends of this sport. Gary worked
with them all. From Gagne to Hogan. From Bruno
Sammartino to The McMahon Family. His profiles of
Steve Austin, Ric Flair, The Undertaker, Buff
Bagwell, Mick Foley, Abdullah the Butcher, Eric
Bischoff and Andre the Giant are priceless. Gary
tells the full story about the night Mick Foley
lost his ear. He was at the hotel fight between
Arn Anderson and Sid Vicious and he holds nothing
back. The portraits of Vince and Shane McMahon
stand the test of time, given the way The
McMahons now monopolize wrestling. And Gary's
love of the game shines through on every page of
the book. If you have to choose one book that
tells it all about pro wrestling, then
"BODYSLAMS!" has got to be at the top
of your list. Simply put, it's the best book ever
written about pro wrestling
