Summary
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.
