Thank you all for the replies about wrestling books! I've got several on my order
list--my students will be thrilled.
I've merged all the suggestions into one list and posted them below. They're in
order by title, simply because Word will do that for me. In addition to the
specific titles, several people mentioned a Capstone series call Pro Wrestlers that
is popular with their students.
Thank you all again!
