The Tag Teams

by Greg Oliver & Steven Johnson


When you put four pro wrestlers in a ring, you double the athleticism, mischief, and entertainment.  Through hundreds of extensive interviews with well-known wrestlers, promoters, and managers — a who's who of wrestling since the '50s — Tag Teams regales us with tales of pain, measly payoffs, and a trade that was practiced as much for love as for money.  Detailed insider information guides the authors' explanation of how tag team matches actually work — and why, sometimes, they do not.
