Progress Report: Limitless Wrestling book

A few months back while I was compiling my first volume of the Wrestling Insomniac book, available now on Amazon, I started thinking about other wrestling books that I could write.  Putting the manuscript together for Volume 1 and Volume 2, also available on Amazon, my The Wrestling Insomniac books I really learned a lot on how to format a manuscript for publication.

I wanted to write a book about wrestling that wasn't and never will be published on this blog, one of the ideas that came to mind was a Limitless Wrestling record book.  I love wrestling, I love Limitless, and I love wrestling stats.  So I started the process of making a spreadsheet that listed every wrestler that had ever stepped inside a Limitless ring and across the top every Limitless show and I started marking wins and losses.  Before the most recent series The Road, 286 different wrestlers had entertained the Limitless faithful.

I decided to write brief bio for each other those wrestlers, listing their height, weight, billed home town, where they trained and who with as well as any interesting factoid I can find.  I'm about half way through.  I'd like to thank all the wrestlers that I have cold messaged about this project who have answered my questions.

Each show will have a dedicated section that will include the full results as well as storylines that were happening at that time and notable moments from the show.  I will be highlighting as many aspects of the first five years of Limitless Wrestling that I can.

I'm still trying to figure a title:

Limitless Wrestling Record Book

The History of Limitless Wrestling: The First Five Years

The Limitless Wrestling Almanac and Book of Facts 2015 - 2020

I'm sure something will come to me.  Currently I'm shooting for release in early 2021 so that all of 2020 is covered in the book.  That's just over 4 months away. 

Until Next Time!

  2. I will second the History of Limitless Wrestling: The First Five Years suggestion but maybe slightly tweak it to Limitless Wrestling: The First Five Years to make it less wordy.
