Time once again to shill SHAMROCK. I am not unbiased - it's by close personal friend @jonathansnowden.bsky.social - but if you have the slightest interest in the history of MMA, shoot style wrestling, pro wrestling of the 90s, or if you just love an absolute car crash human drama, this is for you.
Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

Since I have the relevant data, I did deep dive into the key part of the WON HOF candidacy of Kevin, Kerry, and David Von Erich as a unit: The gates WCCW drew in 1983. I went in w/o preconceived notions, and the results are...interesting. But there are question marks about how the criteria applies.
World Class's 1983 by the numbers: Does it make the Von Erichs Hall of Famers?
Since I actually have all of the relevant data for a key Observer Hall of Fame candidate, I should probably do this
