Some weird hiccups in the audio edition - sounded like they were trying to do an effect to differentiate footnotes from regular text, but it wasn't used consistently. Sometimes it'd be in the middle of a sentence or just a clause that didn't make sense grammatically as a footnote.
Anyway, as to the text itself. The earlier stuff about the territorial era was interesting, but I got a little bit lost in the acronyms. The very early stuff about the beginning of wrestling was great. Some of the later chapters were stuff that had been expanded from the Deadspin columns, which isn't bad, just a note. As a fairly new wrestling fan, this was a good overview of wrestling history, with a focus on (mostly) well-known names. I wish there'd been some non-dead wrestlers profiled, but most of them you get enough information on from their mentions in other chapters.
