Beau, just finished your book.
It was amazing, hats off to you! The ribs had me rolling and the section about Brian Hildebrand had me watery-eyed, but when I got to the part about your Grannie, I'll admit on here, tears were rolling. (Really identified with it.) Can't wait to read the next one

Wow! I mean just that. What can I actually say that Beau James didn’t? I read the book from cover to cover and never wanted to put it down. Beau’s vast wealth of wrestling knowledge (dates, people and fun facts) is just impeccable, he’s like a human wrestling encyclopedia. The main focus in the book is the hot bed of Tennessee wrestling, Kingsport, TN (although he did some long road trips around the US). He was able to work with and meet some of the greatest wrestling stars living and passed. This really isn’t just a book on wrestling; it includes an in-depth look into the soul of this man and shows his love of one woman, wrestling and his trial and tribulations with faith and personal demons. I recommend that everyone should read this book at least once, it’s worth it.

I’ve been blessed to have met and worked with Beau James since 2007 in the northeast Tennessee pro wrestling circuit. Since meeting Beau, I have been partners with him on a few occasions and I have been on the opposite side of the ring / receiving end of some hellacious beatings. I must say he is VERY knowledgeable and will help anyone who is serious about succeeding in professional wrestling. Reading his book, you will gain a first hand insight on how professional wrestler operates and memorable stories from his experience / career. If you are a die hard wrestling fan or an up and coming pro wrestler, you must read this book. I highly recommend this book to any wrestling enthusiast. I have enjoyed reading it and look forward to any other books written by Beau

Wrestling News for week of Jan. 21
The new year has started off with a bang for Misty and I. We have already been in 6 states this year and many more to come. Last week we had a wonderful weekend. Saturday night we were in featured matches on the BIGGEST event Rogersville, TN has ever had. The PWF promised and delivered a HUGE night. I was able to walk away from Rogersville as 1/2 of the new Tag Team Champions with my cousin Josh Crawford. I'm so proud of Josh and how far he has came along just in the last year.Below is highlights of our big win thanks to Will Trotter for the video. Also you will see the night did not end so well for my family and our friend Johnny Knievel.
Sunday Night was an emotional night for not only the James family but everyone in attandence at the last ever wrestling event at the Memorial Field House in Huntington ,WV. I want to thank Tom McKnight and all the 304 Wrestling staff for letting us be apart of the Last Stand Event. I wrestled in that building fro 20 years and have many found memories of that historic venue. Here are a few picture from Sunday thanks to the talented Susan Lively

Beau & I both started in the business in the same time period following the death of the territories. While I'd read his name in magazines, I got to know more about him from a dear friend of both of ours, 'The Duke of New York' Al Getz. I always liked & respected Beau, & after reading his book, my admiration grew. Beau is brutally honest about his faults & failures as well as the reasons for his triumphs. Most books by indy wrestlers & promoters are as 'indyriffic' as the shows they work & run. Beau's is a chronicle of what faith & hard work can do in transforming your life. The story Beau weaves about his marriage to Misty is touching. I laughed so hard I cried about 10 times, usually while reading a Billy Joe Travis story. Reading about his lifestyle in the 90's & early 2000's made me reflect on the lifestyle that so many of my friends have struggled, some unsuccessfully, to change. Beau's philosophies on wrestling & promoting are so close to my own that I cancelled a 'shoot interview' I had planned on doing & told all my friends to read his book. Every indy wrestler or wannabe needs to read this book. It is simultaneously a celebration of a way of life & a warning to not allow that life to consume you, a lesson more people involved in wrestling (including myself) need to learn more often.

2 Big Events get the New Year Started
The New Year kicks off for not only The James family but the stars of SSW.NWA Smoky Mountain, PWF and Stars of Wrestling this Friday night.
This event is a big deal not only for the wrestlers but the fans as well. I started in in 2009 trying to get an event like this together. Thanksgiving 2010 SOW wrestlers were featured on a SSW event. In January 2011 I had a meeting with NWA and PWF official to bury the hatchet and work together for the sake of our profession and to give the area wrestlers more matches with quality promotions. 2011 was a great year here in the Tri Cities. 2012 is starting off with a bang and I hope that all the promoters can continue to work together. This area is special, it has a rich history of pro wrestling, top young talents and seasoned veterans. Many of the Stars here are seen on local and internet TV which has lead to them being contacted and them going to perform for promoters all over the east coast. When we go to the ring in other areas we are proud to represent our home area. And with out our great fans here at home supporting us and talking about us on line we would not get the recognition aboard. Thank YOU!
