"Ian is a journalist first and foremost - the writing is so incisive that you'd think you were reading a book about a famous politician or movie star. The work on the Keirn book is the best wrestling writing I've read so far in 2024. On top of all that, this might be one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, in or out of sports."
