"A must-read." —Dave Meltzer, columnist, Wrestling Observer Newsletter
"[Watts] discusses every facet of his career and does not shy away from talking about controversial topics." —About.com

"The autobiography of...a main-event wrestler who became one of wrestling's top promoters." —The Galveston County Daily News
Product Description
Not a typical story of redemption, this autobiography is the compelling narrative of the profound change religion can make in even the most hardened heart. Former pro wrestler "Cowboy" Bill Watts documents his entire life story—from youthful altercations with the law to success as a sports star to personal salvation. Though largely about his personal journey, Watts's account also discusses the mechanics and power struggles of pro wrestling and his own role in one of the most savage promotional wars ever to hit the state of Georgia.
