Gorgeous George was king at a time when wrestlers didn't have prehensile tails and names like "Mr. Bubbles".

I bet Obama's wife thought this article was going to be about her. Thank heavens this is finally a story that is fun to read.

What's missing in this review is no mention of the fact that Gorgeous George was a highly gifted wrestler with balance, quickness and an intimidating use of unusual holds and moves. George wrestled to win and won hundreds of matches with skill in an era when nothing was scripted.
