Reviews:

“For more than 20 years, Dan Murphy was my go-to guy when the editors came up with the outline of a good topic but needed someone with the depth of thought to flesh it out. With this amazing book, Dan once again proves to me that he is a writer’s writer.” – Stu Saks, publisher of Pro Wrestling Illustrated

“An interesting look at some wrestlers who may at times be overlooked, but within the wrestling industry everyone talks about them with great respect.” – Dave Meltzer, Publisher and Editor of The Wrestling Observer

“The Wrestlers’ Wrestlers: The Masters of the Craft of Professional Wrestling is a great curated list of the workhorses and stars of the business … It can be a great guide for new fans to get into pro wrestling even more, and for hardcore fans, it can be a reminder of why these wrestlers are great.” – Voices of Wrestling
