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. Written by: Greg Oliver Length: 280 pages Published in: October 2002 Publisher: ECW Press
