About this listen

The anticipated memoir from a sports entertainment fandom legend.

As a kid growing up in New York in the late '50s, Bill Apter fell in love with professional wrestling, and it wasn't long before he was rubbing shoulders with the greats as a young reporter and photographer. He's since become the world's best-known wrestling magazine personality, and he's had professional and personal relationships with a who's who of the business, like Triple H, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Sting, and Ric Flair.

In his fun-loving memoir, Bill Apter takes us from the dressing rooms of the Bruno Sammartino era and the last days of the territories to the birth of WrestleMania, the emergence of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and the "Attitude Era" to today's WWE Superstars like John Cena, Daniel Bryan, and Roman Reigns. He also shares stories of his days photographing boxing stars like Muhammad Ali and other champions, and he documents his appearances on the WWE Network and his work as editor of 1wrestling.com.

Find out which wrestler threatened him, learn about the dead wrestler who was really alive, and discover how hanging out with Andy Kaufman led to the comic's notorious feud with Jerry "The King" Lawler. Still intimately involved in the wrestling business, the award-winning Apter has a story on everybody.

Entertaining look at Pro Wrestling from Bill Apter

I grew up reading Bill Apter in Pro Wrestling Illustrated, The Wrestler, and Inside Wrestling. I loved Wrestling in the 80s and a brief stint in the mid to late 90s. Bill Apter (and later a satellite dish) showed me a world of wrestling I didn't get to see every week. In this life story Bill tells us all about people I grew up watching wrestle and even people whose work I read in the magazines! It's a funny nostalgic look and well worth your time. Bill seems like he's struggling at first with the narration but it's really just a conversational style that really won me over and allowed me to enjoy his book that much more. Highly recommend.
