Reseña del libro "Together (en Inglés)"
Professional wrestling has always celebrated the individual. But some of its greatest innovations happened when wrestlers stopped standing alone.Together: The History of Tag-Team Wrestling tells the global history of one of professional wrestling's most enduring forms through 100 teams and more than a century of change.From the Fabulous Kangaroos and Rikidozan & Toyonobori to the Fabulous Freebirds, Crush Gals, Midnight Express, Road Warriors, Hart Foundation, Holy Demon Army, Dudley Boyz, New Day, Young Bucks, and beyond, Together follows tag-team wrestling across generations, promotions, countries, and radically different wrestling cultures.This is not a ranking of the greatest teams or a collection of biographies. Each partnership becomes a window into a larger history: the development of tag-team wrestling itself, the territorial system, lucha libre and puroresu, family dynasties and factions, women's wrestling, television and national expansion, the wrestling wars, the independent revolution, and the modern global business.Along the way, Together asks a larger question: What changes when the fundamental unit of professional wrestling becomes not an individual, but a relationship?Partners become rivals. Families become dynasties. Teams become identities capable of surviving changing members, promotions, and generations. Across the United States, Mexico, Japan, Britain, Puerto Rico, Australia, and beyond, the history of tag-team wrestling becomes a history of what wrestlers could accomplish together that they could never accomplish alone.100 teams. More than a century of wrestling history. One story about what happens when wrestlers stop standing alone.Together reveals that tag-team wrestling was never simply singles wrestling with more people. It developed a history, language, culture, and logic of its own.
