I Didn't Know It Was Broken: From Photo Shoots and Sensational Stories to the WWE Network, Bill Apter's Incredible Pro Wrestling Journey Bill Apter 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.

While boasting fans in several countries from across the globe, today, professional wrestling maintains a lasting presence in five territories - USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan and Mexico. ‘Culturally embedded spectacle’ is the unique conceptual framework developed for this paper to explain the longevity of professional wrestling in these five locations and includes the following factors: a continuous history of professional wrestling, national television exposure during the Old School era highlighting larger-than-life characters playing the face, an extensive group of independent professional wrestling federations and commemorative cultural experiences for young and old fans. 2 Granted, there may be other aspects not included here.

  • Red Smith Wrote That Baseball Was a Dull Game Only to Dull Minds. in His
    Published November 3, 2007 at http://muchnick.net/HitmanReview.pdf Review of Bret Hart’s Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling By Irvin Muchnick Red Smith wrote that baseball was a dull game only to dull minds. In his sprawling autobiography, Bret Hart sets out to prove that the genre “pro wrestling literature” is oxymoronic only to oxymorons. And Hart succeeds. Despite its intimidating length, Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling (a runaway bestseller in Canada, not yet available in the U.S.) has a surprisingly high muscle-to-fat ratio. With the superb Have a Nice Day! , published in 1999, Mick Foley pioneered the picaresque wrestler’s memoir. But Hart, who doesn’t do goofy, is hunting bigger game. Inevitably, one turns to earthy details of mundane score-settling – both conscious and unconscious, both within the peculiar industry that defined him and within the even more peculiar Calgary-based clan that, for a certain population of fans, helped define the industry. Before getting to all that, though, it’s important to remark upon the sheer beauty of the prose in Hitman ’s best parts. Like his favorite writer, Mark Helprin, Hart occupies the border between phantasmagoria and realism. My favorite passages cover his foreign travels, during which he either reflects on the social conditions he observes there (Manila) or delights in lush landscape (Capetown). Domestically, you can all but smell the Alberta and Saskatchewan prairies; faithful depictions of hardscrabble life on the tundra, inside and outside the ring, make for something close to the Great Western Canadian Novel.

Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.

  • Kevin Von Erich 1 Kevin Von Erich
    Kevin Von Erich 1 Kevin Von Erich Kevin Von Erich Ring name(s) Kevin Von Erich Billed height 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m)[citation needed] Billed weight 222 lb (101 kg)[citation needed] Born May 15, 1957 Belleville, Illinois Billed from Denton, Texas Trained by Fritz Von Erich Debut 1976 Retired 1995 Kevin Ross Adkisson (born May 15, 1957) is a retired professional wrestler under the ring name Kevin Von Erich of the Von Erich Family. He is the last surviving son of wrestler Fritz Von Erich and had four brothers that wrestled, David, Kerry, Mike and Chris, as well as an older brother, Jack, Jr., who died in 1959. Career Football career Kevin Adkisson played football at North Texas State University as a fullback, second string to Garry Smith, until an injury ended his football career and dream of playing in the National Football League. World Class Championship Wrestling Kevin started wrestling as Kevin Von Erich in 1976. He spent most of his career wrestling for his father's promotion, World Class Championship Wrestling. Kevin's natural athletic ability and good looks made him one of the promotion's biggest stars. He achieved great success in the company both as a singles and tag team wrestler, often participating in many of the company's high profile feuds. Kevin was also known for wrestling barefoot, highly unusual in a sport where almost all wrestlers wear high-topped boots. World Class announcers often jokingly referred to him as "The Barefoot Boy" on WCCW broadcasts. Kevin later admitted in an interview that he never set out to wrestle barefoot, but that before one of his matches someone hid his boots as a joke, and he wasn't able to find them before his match, so just went out barefoot to wrestle, and it later became his trademark.
