About the Author

Larry Nelson has worked and played with the biggest names in profesional wrestling. In what would be a dream scenario for millions of wrestling fans worldwide, Mr. Nelson reaped the advantages and disadvantages of rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous. All the trappings and intrigue of the excessive, fast paced, self indulgent lifestyle of show biz were part of Nelson's daily routine. This signature voice, play-by-play, color commentator and 1980's ESPN producer, traveled with the owners, producers, directors, and stars of three professional wrestling organizations. Nelson entered broadcasting in 1973. He joined the AWA as announcer in 1983, and later became head announcer. He spent six fascinating years touring with the stars. He retired from the business after a successful run on ESPN sports. James R. Jones, an accomplished history author and railroad DVD producer, assembled Nelson's story into book format. Jones met Larry Nelson while both were radio announcers in Denver, Colorado.
