Slobberknocker: My Life in Wrestling

Slobberknocker: My Life in Wrestling

New York Times bestselling author! Here is the story of how Jim Ross, an Oklahoman farm kid with a vivid imagination and seemingly unattainable dreams, became â€œThe Voice of Wrestlingâ€ to record TV audiences and millions of fans around the world.

There are few people who have been in the wrestling business longer than Jim Ross. And those who have made it as long as he has (half a century to be exact) probably made enemies or burned bridges. But thatâ€™s just not JR. Heâ€™s recognized as the man who built and nurtured a once-in-a-generation talent roster that took the WWE to new heights, including â€œStone Coldâ€ Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, and The Rock to name a few. Readers will finally get the opportunity to hear never-before-told stories about the politics, wackiness, and personalities of all the biggest stars.

Jim opens up about his life as an only child on a working farm, who became obsessed with professional wrestling having first saw it on his grandparentâ€™s TV. Even though the wrestling business was notoriously secretive and wary of â€œoutsiders,â€ he somehow got a foot in the door to start a historic career, one where he held almost every job in the businessâ€”from putting up the ring to calling matches, from driving his blind, drunk boss towards revenge, to consoling two naked 600 pound brothers in the shower room after a rough match.

This isnâ€™t just a wrestling story. Itâ€™s a story about overcoming adversity and achieving your dreams, as success did not come without significant costs and unforeseen challenges to JR, including multiple bouts of severe facial paralysis called Bellâ€™s Palsy.

Currently the host of the podcast The Ross Report, any fan of wrestlingâ€”from the territory days to todayâ€”will be enthralled with stories from the road and behind the scenes. Slobberknocker is the first time Ross tells his storyâ€”and you donâ€™t want to miss it!
