Wrestling Newb: Anyone have suggestions for good reading covering structures and history of various wrestling formats? Japan, Lucha, US, etc to give some background and perspective? Alternately good podcasts covering the topic. I saw the resource list with video suggestions, but I’m wondering about other media. Anything to make be better at being a Creative.

I would recommend all aspiring Creative read any of the wrestling (auto)biographies and Blood Red Turns Dollar Green. Great stories you can slip into the goings of your promotion.
Books – Hot Shots and High Spots. Ringside. Blood Red Turns the Dollar Green. Cheating Death Stealing Life.
There’s a bunch of great documentaries that aren’t mentioned, particularly in America and Japan. Lucha libre is largely oral tradition, the oldest wrestling promotion in the world is CMLL.
Lion’s Pride was great. Thanks for the recommendation. Does anyone know of a parallel volume like that covering Lucha Libre?
