RINGMAN, MEMOIR OF REFEREE DAVE DWINELL, TO BE OFFICIALLY RELEASED THIS WEDNESDAY

By Mike Johnson on 2021-01-04 11:25:00

Ringman, an excellent new memoir by Dave Dwinell, who refereed for over 30 years around the world will be officially released this Wednesday 1/6 in both paperback and Kindle E-Book form.

Promotional material for Ringman notes:

For thirty-two years Dave Dwinell led a unique double life, mild mannered accountant by day, and professional wrestling referee evenings and weekends. The book "Ringman" transports the reader back in time to the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's when the sport was far from the polished product you witness on tv today. Dave provides fans with a front row seat not only in the major arenas like Madison Square Garden, but also the small, smoke-filled venues, where the beer sales far outweighed the ticket sales.

During his tenure in the ring the author worked matches for the WWF, NWA, NEW and numerous smaller independent promotions, with over 350 named wrestlers and 45 champions. At the end of his career he was inducted into two pro wrestling halls of fame.

"Ringman" is a book that will be appreciated by wrestling fans of all ages and generations, especially those readers interested in learning more about the history of the sport in what has been billed as its Golden age.
