ISBN10: 1550227092, ISBN13: 9781550227093, [publisher: ECW Press,Canada, Montreal] Softcover Paperback. The author weaves commentary about the business and its populace with travel tales and personal insight. He sheds light on the dangerous games that both the performing wrestlers and their corporate employers play in order to acquire power, fame, and wealth. During the three decades he spent as ring announcer for America's two dominant wrestling promotions, Cappetta occupied the same locker rooms, hotels, and vehicles as his athletic counterparts. Unlike many other "mat" biographies, this is neither a boast or a bitch-fest and there is no promotion behind the publication attempting to rewrite history to its liking. Having spent over 20 years working wrestling arenas as a ring announcer, the author travelled in the same vehicles and shared the same hotels with the sport's greatest, most infamous, maddest and baddest. He sheds light on the games that performing wrestlers and their corporate employers play in order to achieve power, fame and wealth.
