Professional Wrestling Historical Society is happy to unveil the long in coming book “The Story of Catch” by Ruslan C Pashayev, a pro-wrestling history enthusiast from Delaware, Ohio, USA.
This book presents a pivotal study in restoring the history of Lancashire Catch Wrestling. Seven years of research in libraries, local studies, archives, museums, memoirs of individuals, historical books, documents, newspapers, magazines, and even in registration/record offices have all played a part in unearthing the truth about the origin and evolution of Lancashire Catch Wrestling.
“The Story of Catch” covers the earliest and most forgotten stages of Lancashire's Catch Wrestling history. Many of the most important subjects within that are covered in this work.
Various folk wrestling styles which were historically practiced in different parts of England.
Catch-as-catch-can. The history of the term and different kinds of Catch Wrestling in England.
Introduction of old Catch Wrestling by the immigrants from Continental Europe in East Lancashire and West Yorkshire in 14-17 centuries
Professional Up and Down Fighting and its major centers in East Lancashire, Pre-1800s.
Introduction of Modern Catch Wrestling in East Lancashire, 1820s.
Professionalism and Rules of the Game.
The first pro wrestling superstars, 1840s-50s.
The Golden Era of Catch Wrestling. The Earliest Championship Titles.
The Great Champions of the 1860s.
The Era of Claimants, Post-1860s.
The Lancashire Superstars in America, 1870s-1900s.
The Wrestling Boom in Great Britain, 1899-Pre WW1.
Catch Wrestling in XX century (Britain, North America, and Continental Europe).
“The Story of Catch” is now available on AMAZON as both a kindle eBook and printed in paperback!
The ebook is a simple but complete text available for $9.99 online, and the paperback offered for just $24.99 for fans and historians alike offers not just that but numerous historical photos, captions, and illustrations, some of which have never been seen before!
For anyone with a serious interest in history of pro wrestling “The Story of Catch” is a must.
GET IT NOW ON AMAZON!
[While this is a paid advertisement, I have personally read the book, as have many other historians. Everyone I have spoke to, or seen speak about it, who has a real love for pro-wrestling history, agrees with myself: It's a must read]
