Wrestling: A Pictorial History

by David Hofstede

From "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers to "Nature Boy"Ric Flair. It began at traveling carnivals in the 1900s, where wrestlers known as "hookers" would issue open challenges for cash prizes. In the 1920s, champions such as Frank Gotch and Joe Stecher would wrestle title matches before sold-out stadium crowds. Wrestling faded in the '30s and '40s, only to achieve a stunning comeback thanks to the medium of television.
