Mystery wrestling book from the 80s

[James Fabiano]

I just found a book I used to own when I was younger on eBay. And it reminded me of another one I owned. (I kind of thought it would be the one I got, which was Wrestling Superstars II by Daniel Cohen. It was not.)

The one I am thinking of I think was published after the first WrestleMania. There is indeed a chapter covering that main event, as well as the War to Settle the Score. Another covers a series of matches between Hogan and John Studd.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Nope.

I had one though that I've often thought about. I believe it was yellow and maybe 20-30 pages. It had a photo and a write up of a bunch of seemingly random wrestlers. I didn't know a lot of them. I just remember Hulk Hogan having a darker mustache, which threw me off, and thinking "Gentleman" Chris Adams was a funny name for a wrestler.

I think I got that book! Originally, I got one as a complimentary Christmas present to the tickets for the December '86 WWF show at the Garden. I found a copy on eBay and Manny Fernandez signed it cause him and Dusty were there with the NWA tag team titles.
