“Calhoun intricately traces the developmental trajectory of [Incredibly Strange Wrestling], and though the promotion’s flame out comes as little surprise, it still saddens us because of how well we have come to know the players. What’s most arresting is seeing how the life takes control of Calhoun, and how he ultimately has to cut his losses and get out before he loses himself entirely to it (but not without some wistful thinking). Well-illustrated with lots of photos of wrestlers both in and out of character, the book gives readers a look at a formerly shadowed part of non-mainstream culture. Highly recommended.”
