Follow the Buzzards

“A timely, often humorous account, well-written in the jargon of the pro wrestling industry. A must for wrestling fans and historians, and recommended for all libraries that serve either population.” — Library Journal
“A fantastic account and time capsule that perfectly captures an unprecedented era, when pro wrestling soldiered forward just as the world came screeching to a halt. Follow the Buzzards draws pinpoint parallels between mainstream political news and every corner of the pro wrestling industry from WWE, to AEW, to GCW, and everything in between. The wrestling industry has always been a microcosm of society at large, and I challenge anybody to find a book or publication that does a better job telling the story of pro wrestling in the COVID era than Keith Elliot Greenberg.” — Alfred Konuwa, Forbes
“Really? Brock Lesnar, Boris Johnson, Kenny Omega, and Donald Trump all in one book? Yes! Yes! Yes! The story of how wrestling was body-slammed by the pandemic — and got up before the 3-count!” — Nils Suling, Bild
“I always hear that pro wrestling imitates life. But during COVID-19, that statement could probably be reversed. Keith has written one of the most important pro wrestling books I’ve ever read. His writing brought back feelings of sitting at a wrestling event before we had to worry about the pandemic, then listening to politicians yell about something they didn’t quite understand after people started to get sick, and finally going back to live wrestling once again. COVID-19 changed all our lives, and it changed the landscape of pro wrestling, and no one describes what we were feeling better than Keith Elliot Greenberg. Whether you are a historian or just a fan, this book is a necessary read.” — Dave LaGreca, Busted Open radio, SiriusXM
“Follow the Buzzards is a thorough, engaging, fast read.” — Slam Wrestling
“Ultimately, Mr. Keith Elliot Greenberg is a pro’s pro in writing wrestling books and wrestling historians will want this as part of their collection.” — Lion Cub Job Search blog
“Well-written and conversational.” — Pro Wrestling Books
“It was really interesting to see Keith Elliot Greenberg take all of these world events and arrange them in a chronological history throughout the year. He leaves no stone unturned and does a great job of pointing out the absurdity of some of the crazy stuff that was going on at the time.” — ArcadiaPod
“Like Greenberg’s 2020 release, Too Sweet, he has produced another fascinating look at a business that has had to adapt over and over again over the years, with 2020 being no exception.” — POST Wrestling
“If you are interested in reading the effects of the pandemic on pro wrestling, Follow The Buzzards covers the world events as a historical writing along with looking at some of the very detailed followings of job losses to scrambling to find newer concepts to engage the fans.” — LanceWrites blog
