Wrestling fans have an excellent history in Mark Hewitt's CATCH WRESTLING: A WILD AND WOOLY LOOK AT THE EARLY DAYS OF PRO WRESTLING IN AMERICA. Catch wrestling appeared in North America in the late 19th century and quickly become one of the most popular sports from Europe. The evolution of an elite group of catch wrestlers and their sometimes-brutal achievements is covered in a fine survey which also explores promotion, gambling, audience influence on the sport's evolution, and much more. Catch wrestling is now re-emerging as a self-defense system, making Mark Hewitt's history more important than ever.
