The Essential Legal Guide for the Professional Wrestler available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The year is 2123 and the world has changed greatly from the one that existed in the 20th century, and not for the better. America is no longer a world power, the dollar is no longer the world's standard unit of currency, and the world is still trying to recover from a world wide economic disaster. Every aspect of life has undergone major changes, including the Christian religion, which has suffered a serious loss of credibility since Christ failed to return at the beginning of the 3rd millennium.. Wars have changed, and continue to change, the face of the world map. The worst of these wars are to be found in the Muslim world that is still trying to recover from two major wars with the Jews in which they suffered major defeats. The Muslims lost all that they had gained during the end of the 20th century and now no longer have access to the Holy sites in what is left of Jerusalem. The Muslim world is suffering from a lack of both unity and leadership such as they have not known for many years. Into this void comes a man of charisma and mystery, who holds out the promise of order and peace to a world that desperately needs it. This man holds out this promise not only to the Muslim world, but to everyone, everywhere. To the world at large, he offers the economic stability and prosperity that can only come with world wide peace. To the Jews, he offers to end the conflict between themselves and the sons of Ishamel forever. To the Muslims, he offers a return to the Holy sites of Jerusalem without conflict. To the Arabs, he offers a return to the glories of the reign of Salah al-Din, known to the West as Saladin the Great. Could this be the Mahdi that Islam has been waiting for? This man that comes to be known as.......The Arab. A novel of a world that may really come one day.....and a warning.

Download and read online ebook Professional Wrestling and the Law write by Alex B. Long. This book was released on 2024-05-02. Professional Wrestling and the Law available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Written by a law professor (who also happens to be a wrestling fan), this book is an entertaining and informative exploration of legal cases involving professional wrestling. Relying upon judicial decisions and court documents, it discusses the legal theories and procedures involved in legal disputes involving professional wrestling and explores how the legal system--an institution devoted to arriving at the truth involved in any conflict--has dealt with the business of professional wrestling, a business with a long history of obscuring the truth. Topics include: the legal issues involved when a wrestler goes into the crowd and beats up a fan; Hulk Hogan's defamation lawsuit against World Championship Wrestling for statements made during a live pay-per-view event; and race and sex discrimination in professional wrestling.

This book was released on 2009-02-24. Hitman available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In his own words, Bret Hart’s honest, perceptive, startling account of his life in and out of the pro wrestling ring. The sixth-born son of the pro wrestling dynasty founded by Stu Hart and his elegant wife, Helen, Bret Hart is a Canadian icon. As a teenager, he could have been an amateur wrestling Olympic contender, but instead he turned to the family business, climbing into the ring for his dad’s western circuit, Stampede Wrestling. From his early twenties until he retired at 43, Hart kept an audio diary, recording stories of the wrestling life, the relentless travel, the practical jokes, the sex and drugs, and the real rivalries (as opposed to the staged ones). The result is an intimate, no-holds-barred account that will keep readers, not just wrestling fans, riveted. Hart achieved superstardom in pink tights, and won multiple wrestling belts in multiple territories, for both the WWF (now the WWE) and WCW. But he also paid the price in betrayals (most famously by Vince McMahon, a man he had served loyally); in tragic deaths, including the loss of his brother Owen, who died when a stunt went terribly wrong; and in his own massive stroke, most likely resulting from a concussion he received in the ring, and from which, with the spirit of a true champion, he has battled back. Widely considered by his peers as one of the business’s best technicians and workers, Hart describes pro wrestling as part dancing, part acting, and part dangerous physical pursuit. He is proud that in all his years in the ring he never seriously hurt a single wrestler, yet did his utmost to deliver to his fans an experience as credible as it was exciting. He also records the incredible toll the business takes on its workhorses: he estimates that twenty or more of the wrestlers he was regularly matched with have died young, weakened by their own coping mechanisms, namely drugs, alcohol, and steroids. That toll included his own brother-in-law, Davey Boy Smith. No one has ever written about wrestling like Bret Hart. No one has ever lived a life like Bret Hart’s. For as long as I can remember, my world was filled with liars and bullshitters, losers and pretenders, but I also saw the good side of pro wrestling. To me there is something bordering on beautiful about a brotherhood of big tough men who pretended to hurt one another for a living instead of actually doing it. Any idiot can hurt someone. —from Hitman

Download and read online ebook The Squared Circle write by David Shoemaker. This book was released on 2014-11-04. The Squared Circle available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A breakthrough examination of the professional wrestling, its history, its fans, and its wider cultural impact The Squared Circle grows out of David Shoemaker’s writing for Deadspin, where he started the column “Dead Wrestler of the Week” (which boasts more than 1 million page views)—a feature on the many wrestling superstars who died too young because of the abuse they subject their bodies to—and his writing for Grantland, where he covers the pro wrestling world, and its place in the pop culture mainstream. Shoemaker’s sportswriting has since struck a nerve with generations of wrestling fans who—like him—grew up worshipping a sport often derided as “fake” in the wider culture. To them, these professional wrestling superstars are not just heroes but an emotional outlet and the lens through which they learned to see the world. Starting in the early 1900s and exploring the path of pro wrestling in America through the present day, The Squared Circle is the first book to acknowledge both the sport’s broader significance and wrestling fans’ keen intellect and sense of irony. Divided into eras, each section offers a snapshot of the wrestling world, profiles some of the period’s preeminent wrestlers, and the sport’s influence on our broader culture. Through the brawling, bombast, and bloodletting, Shoemaker argues that pro wrestling can teach us about the nature of performance, audience, and, yes, art. Full of unknown history, humor, and self-deprecating reminiscence—but also offering a compelling look at the sport’s rightful place in pop culture—The Squared Circle is the book that legions of wrestling fans have been waiting for. In it, Shoemaker teaches us to look past the spandex and body slams to see an art form that can explain the world.
