— ABOUT THE BOOK —
A photo-filled journey through the roots of pro wrestling. Canada has sent more top performers into the wrestling ring than any other country, although this fact has often been hidden by promoters. The Canadian roots of wrestling are celebrated in this fact-filled volume, which details the role Canadians have played, from wrestling's hardscrabble early days to the celebrities of the pay-per-view era. Wrestling's darkest secrets are revealed, such as the homeland of Rowdy Roddy Piper (Saskatchewan, not Scotland) and the origin of Mad Dog Vachon (not Algeria, but Quebec). The famous fighting families such as the Harts, Cormiers, and Rougeaus are featured, along with fascinating stories, photos, and facts.
— ABOUT THE AUTHORS — Greg Oliver has covered professional wrestling for over 17 years, writing for Canadian Wrestling Report, Sun Media newspapers, and various wrestling magazines. He lives in Toronto, Ontario.
