The anticipated memoir from a sports entertainment fandom legend.

As a kid growing up in New York in the late '50s, Bill Apter fell in love with professional wrestling, and it wasn't long before he was rubbing shoulders with the greats as a young reporter and photographer. He's since become the world's best-known wrestling magazine personality, and he's had professional and personal relationships with a who's who of the business, like Triple H, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Sting, and Ric Flair.

In his fun-loving memoir, Bill Apter takes us from the dressing rooms of the Bruno Sammartino era and the last days of the territories to the birth of WrestleMania, the emergence of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and the "Attitude Era" to today's WWE Superstars like John Cena, Daniel Bryan, and Roman Reigns. He also shares stories of his days photographing boxing stars like Muhammad Ali and other champions, and he documents his appearances on the WWE Network and his work as editor of 1wrestling.com.

Find out which wrestler threatened him, learn about the dead wrestler who was really alive, and discover how hanging out with Andy Kaufman led to the comic's notorious feud with Jerry "The King" Lawler. Still intimately involved in the wrestling business, the award-winning Apter has a story on everybody.

Featured Article: 5 Truly Wild Pro Wrestling Memoirs


When people discuss wrestling, one thing that always seems to come up is whether or not it's "real." The WWF (now the WWE) became incredibly popular in the 1980s, and its breakout stars were seemingly everywhere. Whether or not you believe wrestling is staged, there is no denying that it is incredibly physical, challenging entertainment. Pro wrestling draws millions of fans to the stands every year, and the wrestlers themselves are in amazing physical shape, performing wild stunts and risking injury night after night.

A good collection of quick stories. It doesn't really follow a "set" story, so except for the last couple of chapters you can feel safe going back and re-listening to certain parts (a "chapter jumper" as Apter himself says in the opening disclaimer). If a character who is a major player in a previous chapter is mentioned again or an event is referred back to, Apter will recap it quickly, making it so prerequisite chapter reading isn't necessary. Apter himself is a charismatic guy and easy to listen but seems to kind of trail off slightly. He reads the book at times as if he's less reading the book and more holding a conversation. It didn't bother me, being a podcast guy. But if you're big on the audiobook being as close to 1:1 with the written material as possible, I could imagine it being an issue. He never goes into a large tirade and is back to the text within a couple of seconds.
