Product Description
The best verbal takedowns from the world of pro wrestling! Professional wrestling, or sports entertainment, has exploded out of the ring and onto bookshelves and television. Every week, millions tune in to watch WCW's "Nitro" and WWF's "Raw Is War," while thousands more turn out for live events put on by the big "federations" as well as independent circuits. These fans know why pro wrestling is popular; it's not so much the moves and the grappling, but the humorous insults and the colorful taunting from the larger-than-life characters of the squared circle. Body Slams! is a collection of more than 1,000 slams, insults, and jeers from some of pro wrestling's most flamboyant, brutal, witty, and powerful stars from the past and the present. With entries from old-school wrestlers such as Gorilla Monsoon and Freddie Blassie to today's biggest stars such as Diamond Dallas Page and Stone Cold Steve Austin, no pro wrestling fan will want to be without a copy of Body Slams!

Fun for Wrestling Fans and Anyone with a Sense of Humor February 8, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Well, I'm not Glenn Liebman nor do I know him. But this has got to be the funniest book I've read in a long time.For the wrestling fan, it will bring back many memorable moments. For the non-fan, it's still a great read. You can't help but admire the creativity of the people who came up with these one-liners, whether it was the wrestlers themselves or their writers. I'm sure I'll find it handy the next time I'm in an argument!
Funniest Book Ever on Pro Wrestling December 27, 2001
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If I could give this book, ten stars, I would. Of course, I'm biased because I'm the author. I loved compiling the quotes for this book. I always knew pro wrestlers were funny, I just had no idea how funny! Let me give you a few:Jerry Lawler on Rikishi--"His belly button doesn't have lint--it has sweaters." Jerry Lawler on Mankind--"He's not too smart, but he leads the league in nose hairs." Vince McMahon on Boxing--"The trouble with boxing is that it lacks credibility." For 998 more funny one liners about pro wrestling, I urge you to buy this book. For more info about my books, contact me at glennliebman.com. Thank you and enjoy the book.
