Product Description
During Tito Santana's 10+ years with the WWF (World Wrestling Federation, now the WWE), he was a two-time Intercontinental champion; a two-time World Tag-Team champion; and the 1989 King of the Ring. Along with Hulk Hogan, he competed at each of the first nine WrestleMania events. The most accomplished Mexican-American ever to wrestle in the WWF shares several inside stories from the Federation's heyday in the late 1980's and early 1990s. He offers behind-the-scenes stories of wrestling with and against some of the biggest names in the business, including Hogan, Bret Hart, Macho Man Randy Savage, Rick Martel, the Ultimate Warrior, Mr. Perfect, and others. Santana recalls his longtime rivalry with Savage, his time as El Matador in the early 1990s, and much, much more.
