Book excerpt: In this second volume of Wrestling Archive Project, you will find interviews with the professional wrestling legends of yesteryear. Scott Teal, the man behind Crowbar Press, conducted most of these interviews in the days when the wrestlers refused to open up and break the code of "kayfabe." And yet, because of his friendship with them over several decades, they talked openly and told their stories in a frank, candid manner. The ¿MAIN EVENT¿ for this volume is an interview with KILLER KARL KOX. Karl steadfastly refused to grant an interview to anyone other than Scott, and he leaves no stone unturned as he tells his story. You'll feel as if you're sitting across the kitchen table from Karl as he relates his life story and talks about the wrestling business and the people with whom he crossed paths during his career. Three other exclusive interviews appearing in print for the first time are with Jackie Fargo, Larry Cheatham & Kody Kox, and filling out the 386-page book are interviews with Baron Von Raschke, Bob Orton Sr., Count Billy Varga, Bulldog Bob Brown, Gentleman Ed Sharpe, J Michael Kenyon, Lou Thesz, Maniac Mike Davis, Nick Bockwinkel, Sailor Art Thomas, Karl Von Stroheim, Tom Jones & Violet Ray. They all open up to Scott with details about their lives and careers as they have with no one else ¿ before or since. Plus, Jody (Assassin) Hamilton talks about his brother, the Missouri Mauler. Scott Teal has returned to doing what he does best ¿ sitting down with the wrestling legends and asking them tough, probing, insightful questions that give us an insight into what professional wrestling was all about in the days before "sports entertainment" became vogue. Go behind the scenes with the true legends of professional wrestling with indepth, hard-hitting, no-holds-barred interviews.
