joelene 's review for:
Oh, good ol' JR! If ever there was a voice synonymous with professional wrestling, it is his. Having watched wrestling since I was a kid, Jim Ross has called the majority of the matches I've seen and been involved in a few of them too. So you can imagine how thrilled I was, as a huge wrestling fan, to have the chance to read an early copy of Under the Black Hat.
Of all the many wrestling-related books I've read, this is one of my favorites. I learned more about the history of wrestling back in the territory days, about what happens behind the scenes, about life on the road, and about Vince McMahon. I learned about the man behind that iconic voice, whose passion for wrestling eclipses all else and whose love for his late wife Jan shines through on every page.
Some of JR's stories made me laugh out loud, some made me mad, some made me shake my head. Much like pro wrestling itself, this book is at times emotional but always truly entertaining.
