The Wrestling Yearbook 1997 [FORMERLY ITR ALMANAC]

The Wrestling Yearbook is the sport’s foremost book of record, faithfully chronicling decades of tradition and evolution.

The 350-page 1997 edition is the third in our retro series of yearbooks, in which we go back and document a classic year in wrestling history in painstaking detail.
