Bluegrass Brawlers: The Story of Professional Wrestling in Louisville by John Cosper, Kenny Bolin

4.0

I loved this book. History has always been a favorite topic of mine so when I got into wrestling I wanted to learn all the history behind it. Never knew the depths of Louisville's wrestling history but this is a great starting point. The only thing that bugged me was the lack of coherent chapters and the lack of solid dates about shows or events. There are plenty of dates included but when it would discuss things such as rematches the author sometimes didn't put those. I'm a stickler for dates and accurate timelines so this was a bit aggravating. For the most part, it went in chronological order but sometimes it would hop around from the present to the past and vice versa.

Still, I would definitely recommend this as a starting point for anyone who wants to delve into the wrestling history of Louisville, Kentucky. We have quite the history I was largely clueless about, and this was absolutely fascinating.
