Bodyslams!: Memoirs of a Wrestling Pitchman

Gary Michael Cappetta

This book provides a frank and fascinating look at pro wrestling from a legendary voice of the ring. Insight, anecdotes and analysis from one of wrestling’s top masters of ceremonies. Gary Michael Cappetta spent over 20 years working wrestling arenas as a ring announcer. He travelled in the same vehicles, changed in the same locker rooms and shared the same hotels with the sport’s greatest, most infamous, maddest and baddest. Now he is combining travel tales with insightful commentary about both the business and its inhabitants. He sheds light on the dangerous games that performing wrestlers and their corporate employers play in order to achieve power, fame and wealth - and recalls a host of colourful incidents along the way. Unlike other ring biographies, Bodyslams! is neither brag nor complaint. Rather, it is an affectionate, cautionary and wise look at a remarkable industry from a man who has served under its banner for almost a quarter of a century.
