Book Details

The sport of professional wrestling has a rich history spanning over 100 years but recently the true power, and enjoyment, of professional wrestling is quickly being replaced by a non-stop series of ideas that at best ignore, and at worst completely destroy, the tried, true and tested concepts that have been entertaining, surprising and providing an amazing experience to a paying audience for decades.

Pulling from real-world science and utilizing real-life stories, the Lost Art and Science of Professional wrestling strives to not only show you the mechanics of thrilling an audience (the science) but how putting psychological ideas into real-life situations (the art) can help you garner a better appreciation of, and develop a greater skill set for, the artful execution of those concepts.
