Quotes and Sayings About Wrestling
-
Television in the 1960s & 70s had just as much dross and the programmes were a lot more tediously patronising than they are now.

I liked both books a lot but I don't see them as 9/11 novels.

One of the things I discovered in Japan was from watching sumo wrestling. At the end you can never tell who has won the fight, and who has lost, because they do not show their emotion because it could embarrass the loser. It is unbelievable.
