| Publisher Description: New Zealand's premier wrestling historian Dave Cameron presents the first part of his brief history of professional wrestling in New Zealand. In this personal memoir Dave tells of his 70 years as a fan and historian of the sport that is most dear to his heart. He tells of his meetings and correspondence with the legends of the mat world including George Hackenschmidt, Ed "Strangler" Lewis, Paul Boesch, Chief Little Wolf, Ken Kenneth, Bill Kuusisto, Jack Claybourne and, of course, New Zealand's own Lofty Blomfield. This volume covers the sport's first four decades of the 20th Century and contains many rare photographs. |
