WRESTLING STAR RELEASES AUTHOBIOGRAPHY
Wolfe recounts trials and tribulations of superstar life
SAN ANTONIO – For the better part of two decades wrestling fans have watched San Antonio’s Dusty Wolfe do battle with some of the biggest stars in pro wrestling. Few of those fans probably realize that at one time, walking was a tough task for the Waco native.
Such trials and tribulations of Wolfe’s life are now available for all to read as part of the wrestler’s new autobiography “Journal of a Journeyman.”
The book, more than a year in the making, is the result of a chance meeting between Wolfe and wrestling journalist Brian Tramel at a show in Arkansas.
“I sit backstage in the dressing room as Dusty waits on his payoff,” said Tramel. “Brandon (Baxter) and he started talking about World Class (Championship Wrestling), Black Bart and just the ‘old days.’ A light bulb went off in my head and I thought – this guy has been EVERYWHERE!! I approached Dusty before I left with a business card with my e-mail on it. I stressed how I thought his story was one of those that would be fun to read.”
Tramel really wanted to do the book, but was uncertain whether or not Wolfe would contact him to make it a reality.
“I wanted it to be MY project, but really felt he would probably contact someone else to do the book,” said Tramel. “To my surprise, Dusty contacted me a few weeks later and promised he would start sending material.”
While working with Tramel led to the book, the idea wasn’t an original thought as Wolfe had received previous similar offers.
“I’ve been asked to write a book for years,” said Wolfe. “I never really gave it much thought until just recently.”
Wolfe, who is still involved in wrestling, goes into detail about his life both in and out of the ring. He takes fans on a journey through the good and bad in his life, from his early years battling a disorder that threatened his mobility to his time working for the biggest promoters in wrestling history including the infamous Vince McMahon.
He credits his family for much of his success and discusses many of the wrestlers who guided him along his personal journey.
“In 25 years, I’ve met a whole lot of people in a whole lot of places,” Wolfe said. “Some changed me forever. A few aren’t with us anymore. I just hope guys like Ken Timbs, Dick Murdoch and Rufus R. Jones knew what they meant to me while they were here.”
Tramel’s friend Brian Thompson helped with the editing portion of the book and the journalist was proud to be involved with the project.
“I am so honored to have worked with Dusty and Brian on this book,” said Tramel. “Dusty certainly has a unique life that I think wrestling fans and even non-wrestling fans will enjoy reading about.”
“Dusty has had a wonderful career and life,” Tramel said. “You can’t read this book without feeling like you know Dusty personally.”
“Journal of a Journeyman” by Dusty Wolfe with Brian Thompson and Brian Tramel is available online at www.amazon.com and www.rronews.com.
