With a foreword by “The Innovator of Violence” Tommy Dreamer, Time Heels takes an up-close look at the world of heels over the past 30 years, counting down the top heinous moments, wacky lists, first-hand fan perspectives, foreign objects, and stables in 256 jam-packed pages of why the bad guys do it better. They say time heals all wounds—well, read this book and you will soon see why heels have stood the test of time.
