Pain And Passion

• About the book

Calgary's Stampede Wrestling spawned some of the biggest wrestling stars in history, from mat kings of the past like Gene Kiniski, to modern idols like Bret 'Hitman' Hart, the British Bulldogs and Chris Benoit. Pain and Passion tells how a small, family-run wrestling business profoundly influenced the world of professional wrestling as we know it today. But it's more than a wrestling story - it's a tale of family and human tragedy. The Stampede Wrestling story is a wild blood-on-the mat saga over 50 years in the making.
