Description
Introduction by Stephen Osbourne One Ring Circus pays homage to the wrestling lifestyle that spawned such stars as Hulk Hogan and The Rock. Brian Howell spent three years following the circuit, amidst the backdrop of household lightbulbs, screaming sound systems and near-raid fans who are almost as colourful and outrageous as the wrestlers they clamour for. Capturing the visceral energy of a remarkable, near-clandestine community, this book is nothing short of inspirational. Includes more than 100 b/w photographs.
