Acerca de esta escucha
All his life, Max Lerner has watched from the stands as the heroes and villains of professional wrestling do battle in the ring. Max happens upon the hand-painted sign outside Barry’s Flea Market: Live Pro Wrestling Tuesdays. His passion drives him to step out from the crowd and step through the ropes to experience the world of pro-wrestling for himself.
Now, he just needs to figure out who to be.
Max finds mentors in Dr. Carver - the tattooed, mohawked behemoth - and Roderick of Hollywood -the effortlessly charismatic schemer. The journey takes them from Oregon to California and beyond, each man searching for his own success. Max meets the strange, eccentric people who choose this way of life and grapples with finding where he fits into this world.
Based on the real-life experiences of the author, Running the Ropes is a funny and charming adventure of self-discovery and a loving ode to the absurd world of professional wrestling.

It's 1994, and three stand-up comedians have embarked on a tour of smaller communities across a remote stretch of rural countryside. Dale is a forty-something comic from Chicago who's on the back half of a mediocre career and thinking about quitting the business. Rynn is a twenty-something fast-rising comedy star from Dublin with a big Hollywood break on her horizon. The third performer is a local act, a late addition to the bill who has agreed to open the shows and do all the driving. He goes by the name Hobie Huge, and he is, indeed, enormous.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 40
When David quit his band, he missed his shot at fame, trapped in an ordinary high school life while his ex-best friend, Chance, became the hottest teen pop star in America. Then tragedy throws David and Chance back into contact. As old wounds break open, the boys find themselves trading frenemy status for a confusing, secret romance—one that could be David’s ticket back into the band and the spotlight. As the mixture of business and pleasure becomes a powder keg, David will have to choose: Is this his second chance at glory? Or his second chance at Chance?

Died for a cause. Johnny’s tombstone would read like something you’d find in a dime novel at a used bookstore. Going out like a snuffed candle, his life ended just as it had really begun. Now he’s been given a second chance to fight his way out of the corner he put himself into. In a world of brawls, dirty fights, and hard-hitting cultivators, he must win. Because if he loses, he’ll lose more than just the fight, and it won’t be his life. He already managed that once, after all.

For Sera Wheeler, the Olympics is the reason for everything. It’s why she trains 30 hours a week, starves herself to under 100 pounds, and pops Advil like Tic Tacs. For her mother, Charlene, hungry for glory she never had, it’s why she rises before dawn to drive Sera to practice in a different state, and why the family scrimps, saves, and fractures. It’s why, when Sera’s best friend reports the gymnastics doctor to the authority who selects the Olympic Team, Sera denies what she knows about his treatments, thus preserving favor.

Not Just for Wrestling Fans!
I have never cared much for Pro Wrestling..save for the oddball careers of the few 1980's personalities (Lou Albano, Andre the Giant, Roddy Piper, etc) who "crossed over" to the general entertainment world. so I approached Jordan Weinfurtner's RUNNING THE ROPES with a fair amount of skepticism.
My apprehension was unfounded, because from the first page on, this funny charming novel had me in a headlock and never let me go! Max's transition from a "wrestling church' super-fan to a bona-fide pro wrestling sensation is a wild ride, and Weinfurtner's experience makes it all ring true.
Mark Watson has the herculean task of portraying all of the heroes and "heels" that Max encounters (as well as Max himself), both in and out of their ring characters, and he makes them all unique, funny and poignant as needed...an epic performance! Highly recommended!
