By far the best book I have ever read on the sport!
-Ben Askren, 2xNCAA Champion & 2008 U.S. Olympian

Title IX crybabies, USA Wrestling squares, mainstream marketing failures, amateur wrestling promotion has been just that for years...AMATEUR...Hopping's book is either a case for change or a tale of athletes who have been damned...
-Vince McMahon, World Wrestling Federation Chairman
A Masterpiece... -RevWrestling.com
Olympic wrestlers, rival factions, cold war residue and ambitions curse...this book will make you feel something about THE SILENT GLADIATORS way of life and whose main character, Cael Sanderson, is American sports unknown prince...
-Dallas Morning News
Banned at Fargo, outlawed by USA Wrestling, with no publisher to trust and no ally in the field...THE SILENT GLADIATORS is the lone wolf of wrestling books!
-Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler
Hail Saytiev! Hail Russian wrestling! Vodka shots all around for great wrestling book written by a reckless American...
-Moscow Times (Russia)
An unknown sport is stripped down to reveal its raw, powerful truth!
-Los Angeles Times
Like three straight unlaced lines of cocaine chased by a shot of whiskey compared to other watered down wrestling books...
-Mickey Straight, amateur pool shark
Amateur wrestling's version of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS!
-Seattle Post Intelligencer
Amateur wrestling just got punched in the mouth!
-Don King, Boxing Promoter
THE SILENT GLADIATORS is my favorite book and I don't even know how to read...
-Mike Tyson, Hitman
The Silent Gladiators makes WWF Wrestlers look like a bunch of sychronized swimmers who enjoy wearing spandex...
-Rowdy Rowdy Piper, Former WWF Wrestler
