Reviews
"For its unprecedented coverage and gripping storytelling, ' Blood and Fire: The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling's Original Sheik ' is the best biography of a pro wrestler." -- The Wrestling Estate, "It's hard to think of many wrestling fans who wouldn't find something of interest here, but for anyone with an affection for the territorial era or character work, it's a must." -- Pro Wrestling Books, "This book is truly a must-read for wrestling fans, a great tribute to one of the most hated heels in wrestling history." -- Shelf Life, "Like many biographies of those from this era, Blood and Fire tells of both the types of soaring highs and crushing lows that can seemingly only go hand in hand with the wrestling business. While many fans may only know of The Sheik as the trainer for both Sabu and Rob Van Dam, he has a fascinating story all his own." -- POST Wrestling, "I have never learned more about any pro wrestler from any single book than I did from the tour de force that is Blood and Fire. The veil of secrecy the Sheik shrouded his life and career in has been lifted by Brian Solomon's painstaking research. A book on pro wrestling's most mysterious figure has never been attempted; now that one has finally been written, it can be followed. Like its subject, this book is one of a kind. Wrestling fans should read it twice." -- Jim Cornette, Wrestling Personality and creator and host of the Jim Cornette Experience Podcast, "I have never learned more about any pro wrestler from any single book than I did from the tour de force that is Blood and Fire . The veil of secrecy the Sheik shrouded his life and career in has been lifted by Brian Solomon's painstaking research. A book on pro wrestling's most mysterious figure has never been attempted; now that one has finally been written, it can be followed. Like its subject, this book is one of a kind. Wrestling fans should read it twice." -- Jim Cornette, Wrestling Personality and creator and host of the Jim Cornette Experience Podcast, "This was one of my most anticipated reads thus far in 2022, and it certainly met all of my expectations and more. Readers who are not fans of wrestling may not take as much from it as I did, but readers who would like to learn more about the history of the wrestling industry will not find a better resource." -- Chris Owens blog, "Solomon gives a unique look at wrestling history, including behind the scenes of the promoters and how they ran each section of the wrestling world ... The research put into this writing is, taking from the title, unbelievable." -- LanceWrites, " Blood and Fire: The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling's Original Sheik by Brian R. Solomon is as near perfect a pro wrestling book as has ever been written ... This book is highly recommended for any fan of professional wrestling that wants to learn of a forgotten time period pre-1980's or even gain a deeper insight into Michigan during this time period." -- Lion Cub Job Search blog

He was The Sheik: the mysterious and terrifying madman from Syria whose wanton destruction and mayhem are the stuff of wrestling legend. But what those legions of fans screaming for his head never knew was that The Sheik was really Eddie Farhat. From Lansing, Michigan, and the son of Arab immigrants, Farhat served his country proudly in World War II and was fulfilling the American dream through hard work and tireless dedication to his craft. And when he wasn't screaming unintelligibly and attacking his enemies with sharp objects, he was busy being the owner and operator of World Wide Sports, one of the most successful wrestling companies in North America. This is Blood and Fire: The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling's Original Sheik ., For a half-century, the Sheik terrorized fans and foes, becoming wrestling's most feared villain.
