The Queen Of The Ring Book Review

I saw the movie Queen Of The Ring and enjoyed it, but it made me want to read the book about it.

Called Queen Of The Ring:  Sex, Muscles, Diamonds, and the Making of an American Legend (released in 2009, author Jeff Leen went into a lot more detail about the life and times of wrestler Mildred Burke.

This book talks about how Burke got into wrestling and her relationship with her manager Billy Wolfe, both good and bad.

It talks about various wrestlers Burke faced and knew over the years, holding the women’s championship for many years, eventually getting away from Wolfe and training wrestlers, and so much more.

The movie is very good, but as usual, books cover a lot more, and this book is no different.

I highly recommend it.  Even if you are not a wrestling fan, that’s OK.  This is a book about a person who wanted to achieve something and she achieved more than she could have ever imagined.

Seek out this book.
