Stars Of The 90s: Yokozuna (Wrestling Stars Of The 90s) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

In the grand history of legendary WWWF/WWF/WWE World Champions like Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, the Rock, Triple H, the Undertaker, and John Cena, one critical name that’s often left off the list is Yokozuna. While he was never the “face” of an era like those others, he was a load-bearing member of the WWF’s main event scene at a time when they badly needed credible headlining stars. Despite the fact that he weighed over 500 pounds, Yokozuna was a phenom with uncanny athleticism for a man his size, impeccable timing, and was a far better worker than most other super heavyweights of the time. He was the first dominant, long term heel champion in WWF history and, perhaps most importantly, was the golden spike linking the Hogan Era to the New WWF Generation and, later, the Attitude Era. Yokozuna's contributions to the wrestling business are undeniable, and this book tells his story.
