Tim Hornbaker is a great journalist. Tim's books covering Professional Wrestling should be required reading for all wrestling fans. Tim's insight is fair and thorough.
Tim called me a few months ago. He wanted to interview me concerning the career and personal details of the late "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers.
Buddy Rogers was one of the first wrestlers I ever watched on black-and-white television. When I began free-lancing for the old Ring Magazine, I got to interview him in the mid-1960's.
Having been in-attendance at some of Buddy's greatest matches (the night he lost the then-WWWF World Championship to Bruno Sammartino and more), It was my honor.
Tim had done substantial research before we spoke. He was well-schooled on Buddy Rogers. Like any credible author, Tim asked me questions he already knew the answers to in order to see if I was on-the-level.
I am so very honored to be credited by Tim. My complimentary, autographed copy of Tim's book arrived last night.
My Sunday is now spoken for. I know that once I start reading, I won't stop till the very last page has been digested.
. This and other fantastic books written by Tim Hornbaker are available on Amazon.com. I urge you to buy and read them.
Well Done, Tim!!!

He is very good with his work. I have the NWA book and it was a fascinating read.

Off topic, I wish the publishing industry would just include a digital copy like movies now do
