You can order the book on Jimmy's website
Second -
"Wrestlers are Like Seagulls" from McMahon to McMahon
Written by James J. Dillon with Scott Teal and Philip Varriale
360 Pages - Hard cover $24.95 Plus S&H
You can order the book here: Wrestlers Are Like Seagulls
I feel very honored to be mentioned in both books.
Bruno Sammartino called me the other day to let me know how much he enjoyed reading Wrestlers Are Like Seagulls. Bruno said, he enjoyed the honesty about JJ's expereinces. He didn't knock anyone, talked alot about his own faults. No matter how loyal you could be, it's gone in the blink of an eye. Talks about how much JJ went through, but has no regrets. The business didn't leave him in good finances, but Bruno has great respect for JJ Dillon.
Now that the holidays are almost over, it's time to get some of the above books for some good reading on these cold winter days and nights.
