Until We’re Strangers Again - Sean Gorman

Author Sean Gorman has spent 20 years navigating wrestling circuits. Evolving from an introverted, small-town kid in New England into one of the loudest and "most hated" villains in all of wrestling. Gorman explains how he got his start in professional wrestling and how he became the "Manager of Champions" in a discussion of his memoir, Until We're Strangers Again.

Kansas City has a long history of professional wrestling. For 40 years, KC was home to Central States Wrestling, which helped launch the careers of Harley Race, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, and Ted DiBiase, among others. As wrestling has gone more mainstream and commercial, smaller circuits around the country are still thriving.

Author Sean Gorman has spent 20 years navigating those circuits. Evolving from an introverted, small-town kid in New England into one of the loudest and "most hated" villains in all of wrestling.

Gorman, a graduate of Emerson College's creative writing program, explains how he got his start in professional wrestling and how he became the "Manager of Champions" in a discussion of his memoir, Until We're Strangers Again. It's a complex character study, an intimate look inside a popular commercial enterprise that blurs the line between fantasy and reality, between sports and entertainment, and quite often between one's wrestling and real-life personas.
