Publisher Description: Gene Kiniski (1928-2010) was internationally known to a generation of wrestling fans and to Canadians everywhere as Canada's Greatest Athlete. Older fans and wrestling historians remember him best for his accomplishments in the ring, his run-'em-over approach to the game, his growly demeanor, and his razor wit he could unleash at will. Drawing on recollections from fellow wrestlers, promoters, and friends, this first biography of Kiniski gives a full account of the life of a champion pro wrestler who won over fans throughout the United States, Canada, and Japan in a career spanning more than three decades. |
