As I explained,
kinda
vague in the youtube video,
the layout/structure of the book is unlike most books. Majority of any
books are in chapters. Question was if it was Tito's idea of how the
sections were set up or Tom Caiazzo. No matter, if you want to know the
man, whom used to be called Latin Lightning in the WWF Collseum videos,
and or an honest/modest view of a company building it's way over the
shoulders of the territorial companies. He was there when Hulk Hogan
and WrestleMania started. Watching the ups and downs, the company,
wrestlers, friends and family took. This is a book where it's easy to
find where he was and when. Like many other wrestlers books, he reveals
a few shocking revelations. Such as the racism. It's a honest/modest
view of how hard life was on the road, and the toll it took on him and
his family. When he finally realized the WWF and Vince were actually
going no where with him it was time to go. How would he tell his family
especially without discussing it with them first. How can hide
it, fulfill your job obligations and finish with a smile on
your face. I had to read the excerpt on page 152 when he tells his wife
Leah, it was time and her reply.
Tito Santana Tales From Ring is
definitely inspirational. The book lives up to it's name, with sections
marked where and what he was doing and who he worked with.
I might have sounded vague about
the book in my video, but this book is no where near vague.
Not just talking as his #1 fan, I'm talking as some who studies history
especially wrestling. Many websites cover wrestling history, this is a
wrestler's view of wrestling history during it's building
years, media blitz and some tragic times.
I told Tito during his book signing here
in Wilkes Barre that wrestling was my religion. Ever since I was 16, it
kept me focused away from drugs, alcohol and trouble. Tito Santana is a
man you can look up to.
