Blood and Fire: The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling's Original Sheik by Brian R Solomon

Blood and Fire: The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling's Original Sheik by Brian R Solomon was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review it. I have been a fan of wrestling most of my life, not so much the biggest name in the business anymore though. I can't recall ever having seen the Sheik on television or tapes. If I had, his described style is what kept me interested in the business. This book explores the life of the pro wrestler Ed Farhat, whom I will only refer to as the Sheik. Many names of pro wrestlers and territories are dropped and lessons learned, or not learned are written about. If you, or someone you buy gifts for is interested in pro wrestling (the only true sport, ;)), buy this book, even if, like me, you had never seen the Sheik wrestle.

4 Stars.
