Meet The Fanatic, a character so twisted, he could only come from the mind of best-selling author, Dale Pierce. Sinners, beware. A crafty killer is slashing his way through the streets of Phoenix, and no one is safe. Leaving a trail of blood and his signature calling card, a sticker bearing the Christian sign of the fish with each victim, The Fanatic is on a mission to carve sin from the city. Can The Fanatic be stopped before he carries out his greatest kill of all?

The story of pro wrestling in Arizona with over 100 years of selected results from cards and historical profiles.

From the time it was founded in 1825, Akron was a town on the move. Once known as the "Rubber Capitol of the World," it brought droves of new workers to downtown and the suburban areas. With expansion came a need for entertainment, and wrestling was there for the multitudes. From the contrast of high school amateurs on mats to snarling villains and heroes in the professional ring, the sport thrived. There were the early days of traveling carnivals, with circuit-riding wrestlers who would take on all comers from the audience, to secretive fights set by shifty promoters in railroad yards with onlookers placing bets. There were the glory days of the Akron Armory--offering the crowd a chance to see such luminaries as the cigar-chewing Killer Tim Brooks, the smiling Johnny Powers, or the devious Don Kent--and beyond after the famed arena closed.
