Wrestling's self-proclaimed "Living Legend" may never wear a championship belt again, but he's definitely not down for the count, as this memoir shows in its entertaining, often hilarious story of a remarkable ascent to wrestling notoriety. Voted Rookie of the Year in 1974, Larry Zbyszko enjoyed 30 glorious years as a top draw in the wild and wacky world of professional wrestling. Attendance records were shattered when he wrestled the original "Living Legend," Bruno Sammartino, in 1980 and won by hitting his former mentor with a chair--a rarity at the time. Chronicling Zbysko's transformation from baby-faced hero to one of the most hated wrestlers of his time, this uninhibited narrative reveals an insider's view of some of the most successful and controversial stories and scandals in pro-wrestling history.

Autorenporträt
Larry Zbyszko was born on December 5, 1951 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Growing up in this city, Larry was always interested in becoming a pro-wrestler and remembers as far back as the ninth grade when he shared his dream with his guidance counselor who proceeded to laugh at him. To pursue his goal, Zbyszko began hanging around the house of WWF wrestling legend Bruno Sammartino, one of wrestling’s greatest icons, who soon trained Zbyszko and helped launch his career. The “Living Legend” Larry Zbyszko won numerous awards and titles in his three amazing decades of professional wrestling. An on-air performer for Spike TV’s iMPACT!, Zbyszko has also been a professional golfer on the seniors circuit.
