Synopsis

With absolutely stunning photography and stories from the 1940s to today, Threads of Triumph is a visual romp through what is perhaps most integral to a professional wrestler's story―their gear.

What a wrestler wears plays a large part in evoking real emotion, feelings, and attitudes. Gear connects a wrestler to their character, and through their character, they are connected to their roots, their story, their heritage. This one-of-a-kind deep dive highlights some of the most memorable looks in the business. It features stunning full-color photographs and exclusive and insightful commentary from some of the biggest stars in pro wrestling.

Uncover how stars like "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Shawn Michaels set the blueprint with their original styles, impacting what is worn in the industry today.

Read more about Luna Vachon and Chyna, who used their gear to break stereotypes and redefine what it meant to be a woman in an industry full of men.

Allow yourself to be blown away by The Undertaker and "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt's incredible outfitting, and learn how their stories just wouldn't be the same without these chilling extensions of their personas.

For wrestling fans of all kinds, Threads of Triumph shares incredible artwork and insider perspectives about professional wrestling through the fascinating lens of the gear we know and love.
