Descrição do livro
Before the spectacle, before the hype, before wrestling became entertainment—there were men like Marty Jones. A seven-time World Mid-Heavyweight Champion, Jones was one of the most technically gifted and feared wrestlers of his generation. Trained from childhood by the legendary Billy Robinson, he entered the ring with a level of discipline, toughness, and skill that set him apart—and kept him there. From the wrestling halls of Oldham to arenas across the world, this is the story of a man who lived the sport at its very hardest edge. His brutal, unforgettable contests with rivals such as Mark “Rollerball” Rocco and Dave “Fit” Finlay redefined what professional wrestling could be—intense, realistic, and unforgiving. His journey took him across continents, competing in Mexico, Japan, Korea, Canada, and Germany, earning respect wherever he went. But the real story lies beyond the titles. This is a candid, unfiltered account of life in British wrestling’s toughest era—where the fights didn’t always end when the bell rang. Jones reveals what it truly meant to survive and succeed in the 1970s and 80s: the dangers, the rivalries, the off-ring confrontations, and the relentless physical and mental demands of the profession. Along the way, he shares memories of wrestling’s biggest names—Mick McManus, Jackie Pallo, Johnny Saint, Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks, and many more—and offers rare insight into his close friendship with the legendary André the Giant. Raw, honest, and uncompromising, this is not just the story of a champion—it is the story of a man who helped define an era.
