For several years, these gladiators had been performing in front of rabid crowds and understood the hunger for wrestling that was different from the TV-slick product. In September 2018, they had the numbers to prove it: 11,263 fans filled the Sears Center Arena for the All In pay-per-view event, ushering in a new era. A year later, WWE had its first major head-to-head competitor in nearly two decades when All Elite Wrestling debuted on TNT. Acclaimed wrestling historian Keith Elliot Greenberg's Too Sweet takes readers back to the beginning, when a half century ago outlaw promotions challenged the established leagues, and guides us into the current era. He paints a vivid picture of promotions as diverse as New Japan, Ring of Honor, Revolution Pro, Progress, and Chikara, and the colorful figures who starred in each. This is both a dynamic snapshot and the ultimate history of a transformational time in professional wrestling."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Wrestling. 650 0 $a Wrestling $x History. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Greenberg, Keith Elliot, 1959- $t Too sweet. $d Toronto : ECW Press, 2020 $z 9781773055770 $z 9781773055770 $w (OCoLC)1151621743 941 $a 3 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305020348.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909062346.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707013924.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=12864234264711EBBF8618853FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
