"Vance Nevada has done as much as anyone in the business as a writer,
historian, and as a wrestler. I'd say his contribution is as significant as
the Harts or any of the top people in the business in Canada. Having spent a
lot of time in that country during my career, it was very interesting to learn
some of the history. This book was hard to put down once I started reading
it."
- Honky Tonk Man

"Wrestling In The Canadian West accurately
describes what it was like for those of us who travelled the roads on a daily
basis in this unique and spectacular area of professional wrestling history.
The author clearly illustrates how the business over the years has now come
around full circle, as he is living it himself, and dealing with the same
trials and tribulations wrestling's pioneers faced in this area more than a
hundred years ago."
- Moondog Ed Moretti
