Bill Apter-Gordon Solie Review on YouTube:
“Did you ever find that book that you couldn’t put down? Well, I found it; The Solie Chronicles.”
Mr. Media, Bob Andelman
“Pam, her husband, Robert Allyn and Scott Teal have written a fascinating new book about her dad, The Solie Chronicles. It is a refreshing, honest look at a legend who was more than a little bit human.”
Bob D’Angelo, Tampa Bay Online
“The Solie Chronicles is more than history. It is a peek into the life and times of one of the top announcers in broadcasting history. Critics might sneer that Solie made his mark in pro wrestling, but there is no denying that his even-handed, straight-faced delivery fit was a perfect companion to the mayhem he was describing.”
Mike Mooneyham, Charleston Post-Courier
“The Allyns, aided by wrestling historian Scott Teal, went through literally thousands of personal notes and documents in compiling bits and pieces of Solie’s career and weaving the material into a highly enjoyable read.”
Alex Marvez,(Scripps Howard News Service)
“The Solie Chronicles was an eight-year labor of love for the Allyns. Working with esteemed wrestling historian and co-author Scott Teal, more than 70 interviews were conducted about Solie. The Allyns researched Solie’s background to learn about the genealogy he rarely discussed (Solie was actually born Jonard Frank Labiak in Minneapolis before legally changing his name).”
Author Bob Allyn
“One of the coolest parts of working on The Solie Chronicles was the opportunity to interview over 65 people who knew Gordon Solie. One man in particular stands out to me during this holiday season and that is why I am sharing an excerpt from the book with you”

The official double DVD set chronicling the Seventh Annual Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup is now on sale!
Four of the country’s leading independent wrestling entities each sent four wrestlers into a tournament that just marked its seventh year.
The tournament honors former independent wrestler Peterson, who passed away in 2002 from cancer.
Starting in May 2003 and continuing every year since, a tournament has been held in Peterson’s name, with proceeds going to charity.
The 2009 version of the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup took place on November 20 and 21 at the National Guard Armories in Brooksville, FL and Crystal River, FL, respectively.
The four independent companies sending wrestlers to the tourney included Florida’s Full Impact Pro Wrestling; Philadelphia’s Combat Zone Wrestling; Chicago’s AAW; and Ohio’s Hybrid Pro Wrestling.
Now available for purchase is this action-packed, thrilling two-disc set, bringing all the action “in your face.”
