    Ron Starr

    Ron's autobiography, "Bad to the Bone: 25 Years of Riots and Wrestling" was just released two days ago. Info on the book, including purchasing info, is available at this link: http://badtothebonerottenronstarr.blogspot.com/2016/12/bad-to-bone-25-years-of-riots-and_8.html There are also autographed photos or Ron and a dvd compilation available at the site.
  2. Hi, I am a good friend of Ron Starr's and the co-write of his just-released autobiography "Bad to the Bone: 25 Years of Riots and Wrestling." Is this match on dvd? I'd like to get my hands on any of Ron's recorded matches that I don't already have. Thanks.

    We're looking for Ron's autobiography "Bad to the Bone: 25 Years of Riots and Wrestling" to be released around the middle of December. He will discuss many of the territoires he worked (often more than once) across North America plus tours of Japan, China, South Africa and Guatemala and his runs in Puerto Rico.

    Will definitely do that Shining Wizard. Leo Burke was one of his favorite people to work with.

    Thanks Khawk. I've been fortunate to have picked up a little more footage on Ron since we last communicated. It's helped to fill in the gaps of where he was at and the feuds he was working and given me more questions to ask him. The things that have been consistent are that he always drew heat and knew how to help get a match and an angle over.

    In spite of having another heart attack and stroke not long ago, Ron is doing pretty good. His spirits are up and he is regularly working his physical rehab with the help of his wife. Although we've been talking for over a year, we just started working on his book about six weeks ago. A publisher of wrestling books has already reached out to us with strong interest. He was a great, underrated worker who could always be counted on for a solid match. I first saw him when he was working as a heel in L.A., and he frustrated us fans of the baby faces, because we grudgingly had to admit that he was really good in the ring, and could wrestle as well as brawl. Ron worked in several territories in North America and in Puerto Rico, and has some great stories to share about his career, being a Vietnam vet, and what it was like to stir up heat in the days of kayfabe, to the point where his life was sometimes put at risk.
