WWE's Strongest Female Wrestlers WEIGHTLIFTING Records Revealed
Who is the strongest female wrestler of all-time?
Review.This book is devoted to the concept of a “wrestler’s wrestler” – wrestlers that other wrestlers recognize for their skill and attitude, as well as for making their opponents’ performance look great in the ring. The authors interviewed over 40 wrestlers and others associated with the business and used their input to come with a list of about 60 wrestlers who met their criteria.I’ve been fortunate enough to have met 13 of the wrestlers profiled through my involvement with both Harley Race and the Cauliflower Alley Club. My favorite story from the book involved one of those thirteen, Sputnik Monroe. I knew that Monroe was a star down south about 60 years ago. What I didn’t know was that he was also recognized as a civil rights icon in Memphis. The profile of each wrestler covers basic biographical data, career highlights, and comments from their contemporaries.I gave The Wrestler’s Wrestlers five stars on Goodreads. In my opinion it’s a little more skewed toward the last 10-20 years than it should be, and it made me sad to read that so many of the stars from when I first started watching nearly 50 years ago have died, but I still loved this book from beginning to end.1,364 reviews73 followersJune 22, 2021Good book, though not as helpful as Murphy's prior co-authored book on female wrestlers. "Wrestlers' Wrestlers" is an intriguing concept, and many of the later inclusions (e.g., Dave Taylor, Nigel McGuiness) fit that profile. But if this was to be a book on "hands," focusing primarily on the under-covered 2000s indie scene (as the book on female wrestlers did, to an extent) would ensure there's less duplication of existing sources, such as the Johnson/Oliver Hall of Fame books (quoted frequently here, and for good reason). Perhaps such a work can serve as a follow-up, since the best profiles in here are people not covered elsewhere (Mike Quackenbush appears in KEG's book on indie wrestling, for example, but not as a standalone profile, so it's good to see him included, his "misdeeds" such as they are or were notwithstanding). Rip Rogers belongs in his own specific type of book, as do other, similar wrestlers (Colt Cabana in this era, perhaps), true "hands," as contrasted with "main eventers" such as Bob Backlund and Harley Race. At any rate, an interesting read, with fresh quotes pulled from new sources (Terry Funk, Cabana, Johnny Mantell,

Legitimate wrestling matches and turned into the flashy sports entertainment spectacle that it is today. THE WRESTLER'S WRESTLER is a must read for pro wrestling fans of all ages. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. January 10, 2022I don't know what I was really expecting from this book, but I do know that it didn't really deliver. In the end it came down to simply the authors becoming fan boys and putting up the wrestlers that they like. Too many of the wrestlers that they mentioned were ones I had seen and not been impressed by or ones who never really made it because they didn't have "it". This could have been so much more, instead of just a trip to fanboy land.April 9, 2022Biographies about wrestlers are usually entertaining because of the stories they tell about their lives and the personalities they meet. This book serves as a good introduction to many of the unsung heroes of professional wrestling. While many of the names here are familiar to fans, I liked that they include people like Rip Rogers and Jerry Lynn, who are virtual cult figures among those of us who have watched wrestling for years.June 6, 2022Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this eARC to review.I like wrestling- I used to be quite a big fan- so I thought this would be quite a good book but I feel like this book focused on a lot of wrestlers that are already very big and known within the industry and there were only about two or three women mentioned within the entire book when there have been famous female wrestlers since pretty much the beginning of wrestling.It wasn't bad but could be better.March 28, 2021A decent book to get an overview of some of the best wrestlers from the beginning until current day. It isn't an in-depth history of wrestlers but gives details on some of the top performers. I found myself skipping around the book to read about different wrestlers so you don't need to read all of the chapters in order.January 3, 2024Great book! As a fan of professional wrestling it was awesome to see some of my favorites praised and appreciated by their peers and community and also it was interesting learning about some new guys from past eras !February 25, 2023I felt that some of the older innovators10 Physically Strongest Female Wrestlers In TNA

Netflix’s ‘Pluto’ is a Japanese anime action-adventure series with cyberpunk elements from director Toshio Kawaguchi. The series is based on the eponymous Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Naoki Urasawa, which itself is a retelling of Osamu Tezuka’s “Greatest Robot on Earth” from the manga series ‘Astroboy.’ In the anime adaptation, robotic police detective Gesicht searches for the truth behind a series of seemingly interconnected robot and human murders. As Gesicht enters the complex web of crimes, motivations, and human emotions, he discovers a plot to end the entire world. If you are wondering whether the crisis is averted and peace is obtained in this twisted world where humans and robots coexist, here is everything you need to know about the ending of ‘Pluto.’ SPOILERS AHEAD!Pluto Plot Synopsis‘Pluto’ follows Gesicht, an advanced robot who works as a detective for Europol. Gesicht is tasked with investigating the murder of a robot rights activist when he learns that Mont Blanc, one of the seven strongest robots in the world who served in the 39th Central Asian War, has been killed. Later, Gesicht discovers a police robot has been murdered in Germany. Based on the evidence found in Germany and Switzerland, where Mont Blanc was killed, Gesicht cannot determine whether a human or a robot committed the crimes. However, because of the robot laws, robots can’t commit murders since they cannot feel hatred, an emotion necessary for killing.Meanwhile, North 2, who also served in the 39th Central Asian War and works as a butler to a blind composer in Scotland, is killed under mysterious circumstances. As a result, Gesicht is convinced that the killer is targeting the world’s seven strongest robots. Therefore, he travels to Japan, where he meets Atom, an advanced robot with the appearance of a young boy. Later, Gesicht also warns Brando and Hercules of the seven strongest robots who work as robot pankration wrestlers.
