Summary

"Where does the character end and the man begin? Marice "Mad Dog" Vachon was a gold medalist, a pro-wrestling legend, and a pop culture icon--but he was also a son, husband, and father. Diving into Vachon's own recollections and those who knew him best, Mad Dog explores both Vachon's career and his personal struggles. As a young man, Maurice Vachon could have chosen a dark, criminal path, but wrestling and family changed him. Chronicling his slow but steady rise to prominence in some of pro wrestling's most important territories, this in-depth biography shows how Vachon's life came to be defined by the words of Mark Twain: "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." Mad Dog is the amazing tale of how a lifelong make-believe heel became a fiercely proud and supremely talented real-life hero."--page [4] of cover
