Riot at the Garden
Riot at the Garden, written by author, wrestling historian and contributor to Pulpmovies (among others), Dale Pierce, has been re-released.
This publication deals with the history of Phoenix, Arizona’s Madison Square Garden Arena and all the greats who wrestled there. Legends like Gorgeous George, Freddie Blassie, The Funks, Lou Thesz, and many others have appeared at “The Garden.”
This publication will also introduce you to some of the local greats who made Arizona Wrestling a real hotbed - Arizona legends like Tito Montez, Marcial Bovee, Cowboy Bob Yuma and more. They’re all here.
This 44 page booklet also tells the story of one of pro wrestling’s bloodiest and most violent feuds - Ben Justice & Pancho Pico versus “The Comancharos” (a.k.a. “Hells Angels” - Chris Colt and Ron Dupree). Let me tell you, this feud was wild, it was bloody and it was brutal. It was hardcore before ECW coined the phrase.
The book is also packed with vintage photos - many of which are previously unpublished. If you’re a fan of - or even interested in - old-school wrestling and the giants that dominated the sport, then this is the book for you.
