"Steve Keirn is the rare wrestler whose life got more interesting after his time in the business as a main-eventer was over. From hunting alligators, to defending himself against an enthusiastic Mike Awesome, to dealing with the unpredictable Vince McMahon, Keirn has been through the ringer time and time again - always emerging mostly unscathed, and with a great story to tell." - Jonathan Snowden, Author of Shamrock: The World's Most Dangerous Man "The material on Steve Keirn's later career - including his WWF run as Skinner and stint running the company's developmental territory - is so detailed that you understand why Keirn is responsible for the first planned two-volume autobiography in pro wrestling history. Truly a wrestling life lived - and retold - in full." - Oliver Bateman, The Ringer "A more than worthy sequel that journeys through the surreal life experiences of a pro wrestling purist now submerged into the twisted caricature worlds of 1990s WWF and modern-day WWE - realms where the behind-the-scenes realities are truly stranger than fiction. Steve Keirn's unique life experiences are deftly explored and dissected with brutal honesty and introspection that make for a powerful, knockout reading experience of a life truly lived through physical and emotional sacrifices." - Mike Johnson, PWInsider.com The Keirn Chronicles Volume Two: The Phenomenal Wrestling Resurgence of Steve Keirn is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed book The Keirn Chronicles Volume One: The Fabulous Wrestling Life of Steve Keirn, which was a Finalist for "Best Pro Wrestling Book" as declared by The Wrestling Observer. This 440-page sequel follows Steve Keirn through his return to wrestling, the creation of the Professional Wrestling Federation, and his stint in the World Wrestling Federation as the alligator hunter Skinner and the evil wrestling clown Doink. From there, Steve's life progresses through a series of ups and downs that eventually sees him founding a wrestling school, starting an iill-fated independent wrestling company, and eventually becoming the head trainer who oversaw the most successful era of homegrown talent creation under the World Wrestling Entertainment banner.
