Description
Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling tells the story of a wrestling business that profoundly influenced the world of professional wrestling. From its humble beginnings in the 1940s to its peak in the 1980s, Stu Hart's Calgary promotion was a driving force behind the evolution of wrestling.
The wrestling game lost its innocence as the business it loved nearly destroyed the Hart family, a clan that lived for the wrestling business. This is a tale of family, human tragedy, and the wild blood-on-the-mat saga that unfolded over fifty years.
A powerful drama that will appeal to wrestling fans and anyone who appreciates a compelling story, Pain and Passion is a worthwhile read for those interested in the history of professional wrestling.
