Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler is an insightful behind-the-scenes meditation on the film's provocative characters and the choices they make. Once a hugely successful WWF wrestler, Randy the Ram now ekes out a living performing for diehard wrestling fans from the 1980s in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey. But when he suffers a heart attack, Randy's doctor tells him he needs to lay off the steroids and stop wrestling altogether. Forced out of show business, Randy begins to evaluate the state of his life. But the pull of the spotlight is too strong and he attempts once again to find his way back into the ring. Featuring actors Mickey Rourke, Academy award-winning Marisa Tomei, and Evan Rachel Wood, this book is an extension of Aronofsky's filmic vision, and will contain film stills, the original shooting script, still photos, original art, and observations by its creators, cast, and crew.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story told by Art Crews through Judy Burleigh-Crews occurred more than twenty years ago but is a gut-wrenching story by one who was in the world of professional wrestling in its heyday. Art is brutally honest and gets "down and dirty" about happenings in professional wrestling and his wrestling career. He takes you to his dreams of becoming a professional wrestler and concludes with a very heart-tugging ending. He dispels much of the kayfabe, which was cardinal to all in the profession. He recalls distrustful, prevalent jealousy and goes into detail about "the sickness" that affected many wrestlers. From the young boy from Kansas, a poignant story emerges that speaks volumes for countless wrestlers, himself included, who didn't make it to the apex of stardom. Throughout the book are amusing anecdotes and also lamentations of deaths of wrestling friends. Art also shares a barrage of never-before-published personal photographs, along with numerous others taken by his coauthor

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional wrestling is one of the most popular performance practices in the United States and around the world, drawing millions of spectators to live events and televised broadcasts. The displays of violence, simulated and actual, may be the obvious appeal, but that is just the beginning. Fans debate performance choices with as much energy as they argue about their favorite wrestlers. The ongoing scenarios and presentations of manly and not-so-manly characters—from the flamboyantly feminine to the hypermasculine—simultaneously celebrate and critique, parody and affirm the American dream and the masculine ideal. Sharon Mazer looks at the world of professional wrestling from a fan’s-eye-view high in the stands and from ringside in the wrestlers’ gym. She investigates how performances are constructed and sold to spectators, both on a local level and in the “big leagues” of the WWF/E. She shares a close-up view of a group of wrestlers as they work out, get their faces pushed to the mat as part of their initiation into the fraternity of the ring, and dream of stardom. In later chapters, Mazer explores professional wrestling’s carnivalesque presentation of masculinities ranging from the cute to the brute, as well as the way in which the performances of women wrestlers often enter into the realm of pornographic. Finally, she explores the question of the “real” and the “fake” as the fans themselves confront it. First published in 1998, this new edition of Professional Wrestling: Sport and Spectacle both preserves the original’s snapshot of the wrestling scene of the 1980s and 1990s and features an up-to-date perspective on the current state of play.
