A great book revisiting the history of professional wrestling in one of its most famous towns, Louisville, Kentucky.
Beginning in the 1880's and taking us all the way through to the modern day its a fascinating look not just at the history of wrestling in Louisville but how the business as a whole evolved to what it has become today.
For me it focused a bit too much on OVW for pretty much the final third of the book but thats only a small criticism based on my personal taste.
I found everything from the 1880's to the 1990's incredibly fun to read about and I learnt a lot of things I didn't previously know.
Will have to check out his book on the Allen Athletic Club for an even deeper dive.

Excellent history of wrestling in Louisville. I hope a lot more of this type of city history is written. Could have use another edit to weed out the remaining typos, but the content was excellent. I almost wish Cosper could step back and write a book for every decade.
