Sorry for not posting for a while, i have been working on a small project. Forgotten Heroes of the Ring is a collection of autographed promo shots featuring some of the great wrestlers from the last century. It's a limited 100 edition run sponsored to coincide with the release of the forgotten heroes series of action figures in February.
Here are some views from within the book:

I remember back in the days when I still thought Wrestling was real, there was a monthly magazine in John Menzies that listed all the Wrestling federations and results, as well as the WWF, WCW and all that, alot of these faces are very familiar.

I used to think all the other Federations I'd never heard of were even cooler that the WWF and the wrestlers too hard to fight in it, because there was pretty much blood on every photo, then a few years later I realised it was just a bunch of all the useless wrestling federations with all the wrestlers that were too shit for the WWF.

What happened to wrestling, it used to be fucking amazing, now EVERY wrestler, is the same hight, build and wears the same outfits, fucking gaylords.
