Synopsis

Incredibly Strange Wrestling was the bastard offspring of post-punk garage rock and masked Mexican lucha libre. Fielding a cast of crazed characters with names like El Homo Loco, Mucho Sasquatcho and El Pollo Diablo, the show lives up to its name. Christians fought lions and Bigfoots mauled hapless hippies in some of the most surreal bouts ever stages. With a stage name swpied from a comic book kunk-fu master, Calhoun broke into ISW as an untrained grappler and rapidly rose through the ranks. In this memoir he reveals the story of ISW with all the organised mayhem it deserves.
