Synopsis

Do Not Try This At Home: A Cautionary Tale About Wrestling

It’s Monday night and your favorite Wrestler is on T.V. staring across the ring from his arch nemesis! You watch him intensely, studying every move he makes... Just as you climb atop the coffee table to recreate his signature splash, your Mom yells, “STOOOOOPP!!!”

Johnny and Frankie are 2 inseparable best friends with a passion for pro wrestling. They live, eat, and breathe it. Wrestling is their life. In the beginning the boys were just spectators, watching weekly, playing with the figures and videogames, and creating their own wrestling personas. That was until Johnny got the itch and decided to convince Frankie to put on their very own wrestling match for all of their friends. Bringing the real life issues of peer pressure and the dangers involved in wrestling to the forefront, this tale tackles the unintended consequences of wrestling at home.

This story is perfect for parents of children who love to imitate their favorite wrestlers, but do not realize that the injuries involved in Professional Wrestling are not pretend.

If you are a fan of WWE this book is for you! It shows the real-life dangers of wrestling at home and teaches kids that it is better to leave it to John Cena, the Undertaker, Roman Reigns, Bruan Stroman, The Man Becky Lynch, and all the other wrestlers out there.

Any wrestling aficionado should be more enamored with this compendium of clever characters than a gluttonous child in a corner candy shop. Crafty children's author Christopher Holley has penned another unique and worthwhile read. Not only does Holley pile-drive the point home that wrestling should be left for the pros, but the message is also intensely body-slammed into the reader's consciousness like a killer-clutch move off the top of the third rope: Stay out of the wrestling ring unless you're ready to tag team up with a paramedic. Kudos to this inventive children's author for providing a touch of verity coupled with some truly fascinating food for thought.
