so last week I went to Borders to buy Jericho and Batista'a books and I saw they had a Benoit book and Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: the Heels also just released. A few years ago they did Pro wrestling Hall of Fame: Tag Teams & Canadians books that were really good also. Any how I ended up buying $90 in wrestling books that day.
the Heels book lists the top 25 Heels of all time and has a back story on each and then list through several other noteworthy heels from the 1900 to present.
Just wanted to point out a few things:
4 of the top 5 Heels and 10 of the top 20 are in LOW
I was kinda upset that Ted DiBiase and Ox Baker were never mentioned, but Mike DiBiase was. Other than that it was a pretty complete list of major heels.

There is already a few threads on this board about this book, but I agree it is an awesome book. I just finished reading it earlier this month and am now currently reading The Tag Teams.
The LOW wrestlers ranked in the Top 20 (with their ranking) are
Buddy Rogers (1), Gorgeous George (2), The Sheik (3), Mad Dog Vachon (4), Johnny Valentine (7), The Destroyer (8), Killer Kowalski (9), Harley Race (10), Nick Bockwinkel (13), Ray Stevens (17).
In addition, some of the other LOW wrestlers who have short bios in this book include Rick Rude, "Iron Mike" DiBiase, "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig, The Masked Superstar, Bob Orton Sr, Larry Zbyszko, The Iron Sheik, Ivan Koloff, and Nikolai Volkoff.

i also have read all 3 hof books. i thought they were a great read. iam 58 and remember seeing many of the old stars from the late 50's and into the 60's and the 70's. mr. oliver and mr. johnson should play LOW.

mr. oliver and mr. johnson should play LOW. Greg & Larry are aware of LOW and have helped with contact info for several of the wrestlers currently in the game. The Olsons and I see them every year at the Iowa HOF dinner, and they are both great guys. All three books are great reading. |

I love this book and would love to see several wrestlers in LOW. Some of my favorites that I'd love to see in the future are:
Bad News Allen
KO Koverly
Dick Daviscourt (feuded with Lewis)
Black Angus Campbell (feuded with Ox)
I know the chances of any of the above may not be too great, but I can still hope.
Take care,
Jay

Hey Cory, any chance of seeing bootlegs of any of these 4 (preferably Black Angus or Daviscourt)? If not, does anyone have bootlegs of them?
Thanks and take care,
Jay

Hey Cory, any chance of seeing bootlegs of any of these 4 (preferably Black Angus or Daviscourt)? If not, does anyone have bootlegs of them?Thanks and take care, Jay Jay, other than their names and the LOW connections you mentioned in the above post, I don't know too much about Agnus and Daviscourt. If you have some info on them, PM me. I'll put them under consideration. |

I've been trying to find info on either of them, other than the profile for Angus on Online World of Wrestling, I can't find too much. If I do, I'll let you know.
Take care,
Jay
