Product Description
When Sam Muchnick and Harold Koplar had a chance conversation on a plane in [need year here], they had no inclination that their unique idea would turn into the iconic program Wrestling at the Chase. Spanning multiple generations of fans, the premier of the show in 1959 would launch a phenomenon and the onset of professional wrestling’s golden years. Today, the WWE rules television and arenas nationwide, but without the leadership and promotion of this show, it may never have reached the standing it enjoys today.\nHundreds of men and women, dressed to the nines, would be drawn ringside every Saturday night in the Khorassan Room of the opulent Chase Park Plaza Hotel while hundreds of thousands more tuned in at the stroke of nine to enjoy the spectacle. They’d marvel at such heroes of the sport as Bruiser, the Fabulous Moolah, Gorgeous George, King Kong, and Nature Boy. Then the next morning, a brand new audience of thousands would tune in for the re\-airing of the show. America couldn’t come cheer on their idols in person, so Muchnick, the Vince McMahon of his day, brought wrestling to the living rooms of America.\nEmmy\-award winning producer Ed Wheatley brings the story of professional wrestling’s rise to prominence to life in this exciting, ride\-of\-a\-lifetime book. With hundreds of photos and the stories behind the famous monikers, relive the decades and the countless memories that have thrilled wrestling lovers for generations. The three legs of the stool (the location, the delivery, and the product) came together in Wrestling at the Chase; now its story comes through on each page.
