I have watched sports entertainment even before it was sports entertainment. One of our neighbors around 1986 was a pro wrestler little person who was the brother in law of Crush from the Legion of Doom. I would sometimes ride from Portland to Eugene with him to go to shows he was doing there. One of my favorite tag teams from the 1980's was the Road Warriors, so when I saw this I decided to read. I didn't realize the Joe Lauriniatis was the brother of John and Marc who were also wrestlers and the father of James who played at Ohio State and then in the NFL. This is his story of growing up, becoming a wrestler and the triumphs and tragedies in his life, from watching Hawk drown in drugs to winning multiple championships. He shares how he and Hawk both turned their lives around by becoming Christians. It is a good backstage look at an industry and doesn't pull too many punches, telling his version of what happened.
