Summary

"Sean has the unique ability to share the journeys of those who have sacrificed so much for pro wrestling, and he does so in a manner that evokes compassion, humor, and joy." (Justin Barrasso, Sports Illustrated)

"The stories are fascinating, mainly tear-jerking or humorous. It's a perspective never written about - until now - in stories only Sean Oliver can tell." (Bill Apter, author of Is Wrestling Fixed? I Didn't Know It Was Broken)

They were nomadic warriors, their business shrouded in secrecy. They navigated a world fraught with pitfalls. Abuse was rampant. Their world was perilous.

And they had kids.

This is the true story of pro wrestlers raising children while working the unrelenting road. All content was constructed via personal new interviews with the stars and their families. See how Sullivan, Atlas, Bischoff, Poffo, Russo, Santana, Bigelow, and more scored their most important wins and heartbreaking losses, told in a most riveting narrative style.

Sean Oliver, master of the wrestling book

Where to begin? The best story’s are the ones that are true. Wrestling, for all the story driven entertainment with outlandish ideas, at its core has some very interesting people. This book goes into family life and away from the business. All the big names are here, Russo, Dillon, Bam Bam, Easy “E”, and after listening to this book, the amazing Gary Hart.

I never grew up watching Gary Hart here in the UK but after hearing from his son and Sean Oliver have to say about him, I think they should make a book on his life. I think it would make me laugh and cry.

I don’t want to say too much more as it truly is one amazing book and Sean Oliver is just a delight.
