A fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse of the inner workings of the 80's wrestling world
14. September 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Pro Wrestling Kids' Style is the remarkable story of Shawn "Crusher" Crossen, who managed and promoted "The Kids Pro Wrestling Show" which started in 1984 as fun and games but soon spread to thousands of living rooms across the country via cable television and began the National Wrestling Federation, or NWF. For five years, Crossen kept the NWF going with professional poise, and achieved high popularity among kids and adults alike. Yet all good things must come to an end; Pro Wrestling Kids' Style tells of the hard lessons that led to the final NWF bell, and reflects on where the movers and shakers of the NWF are today. A fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse of the inner workings of the 80's wrestling world, which reads briskly and is especially recommended for sports fans.

A teenage wrestling promotor
13. April 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I thoughouly enjoyed this book. It is very excellent material about a teenage boy that not only handled wrestling like a business but also had fun doing it. This is a must read for young wrestling fans. I can think of no better example for our youth to follow

Kids Pro Wrestling Book Review
22. März 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
In today's world when you think about kids trying to performprofessional wrestling, you think of those horrific "backyardwrestling", trampolines and kids maiming each other to near death.Although starting out in the basement of the owner Shawn "Crusher"Crossen, the National Wrestling Federation AKA Kids Pro Wrestlingquickly became one of the hottest promotions of the 1980's . Theyquickly tried to be a legitimate promotion and soon from the basementwrestling on mattresses they were promoting live wrestling events fromthe Anoka Armory. The National Wrestling Federation didn't try to be a"backyard" promotion. To them, they were just as elite as the WorldWrestling Federation(now WWE) or the American Wrestling Association.
Pro Wrestling Kids' Style takes a look at the history of the innerand outer workings of the National Wrestling Federation as told throughthe owner himself Shawn "Crusher" Crossen. Kids Pro Wrestling startedin 1984 by Shawn Crossen and Charley Lane and ended after a heatedcross promotional battle in 1990.
This book not only shows the mind of a wrestling genius in ShawnCrossen but it shows how far a group of friends are willing to go tomake a dream come true. These kids really functioned far better thanany adult could. They provided not only great wrestling actionphysically but they also showed how they could function and creategreat television.
As for the book itself, it's a very easy read. Shawn Crossen usesthe English language to his advantage and makes this book a fun andenjoyable story. Sometimes when writing about one's self, often times abook may come off egotistical. Definitely not in this case. ShawnCrossen gives credit where credit is due and compliments each person(well minus a few who turned their backs on the NWF) and credits theNWF's success on everyone and
not just himself. That is a true compliment to himself.
There is only one very minor flaw in the book is that it is simplytoo short. I am not sure if he could add more in or not but for somereason 158 pages just doesn't do this book justice. This however is avery solid book that gives the perspective of how wrestling shouldbe....fun!
Overall score based on A through F : A-
