Abstract
This is a review of Alex B. Long’s new book, Professional Wrestling and the Law: Legal Battles from the Ring to the Courtroom. Professional wrestling serves as a surprisingly adept framework for illustrating various legal principles. Long’s colloquial writing style and humorous anecdotes make for an experience as enjoyable as it is informative. This review primarily focuses on the striking parallels between the law and wrestling, particularly in how both navigate the fine line between fact and fiction as well as how they have concurrently evolved over time regarding minority and women’s rights.
