Book Recommendation: Steven Verrier and Richard Vicek wrote an important biography entitled, "Wilbur Snyder: The World's Most Scientific Wrestler." This was a story that needed to be told. Snyder's career has often been overlooked and this great book sets the record straight.

Book Recommendation: "Bigger Better Badder: WrestleMania III and the Year It All Changed" by Keith Elliot Greenberg, a fantastic writer and historian. I've admired Keith's work for years. This is a great book and I highly recommend it. Give it a read! @keithegreenbeeg
