Reviews for Threads of Triumph: Professional Wrestling's Most Iconic Looks

A Junior Library Guild Selection “From the first time I stepped into a pro wrestling ring over 35 years ago, I wanted my tights and costumes to be as flashy and as charismatic as I wanted to be. I knew from the very start that in order to make it big, I had to always look like a star . . . and I’ve followed that mindset ever since! McKenzie Mitchell’s idea to write an entire book on pro wrestling fashion is a brilliant one, and this book shines brighter than the sequins on the boots I’m wearing right now!” —Chris Jericho, three-time New York Times bestselling author, and multi-time World Champion “I always thought wrestling had a simple formula for being a star—work on your technique, practice your promo, and get a look. People have long since dissected the first two, but until Threads of Triumph, no one has really delved into the major role that costume has in the world of professional wrestling, and there’s no one more suited to talk about it than the most stylish woman I know, McKenzie Mitchell.” —Rebecca Quin, New York Times bestselling author, and WWE Superstar
