Summary
The true story of one of pro wrestling's most charismatic, feared, and beloved icons
Who was Maurice the man, and who was Mad Dog the character? Maurice "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. Mad Dog explores Vachon's career and personal struggles with painstakingly detailed historical research and through both Maurice's own recollections and those of the people who knew him best.
As a young man, Maurice could have chosen a dark criminal path, but then wrestling and family changed him. Chronicling his slow but steady rise to prominence across America and internationally 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." Fiercely proud, motivated, and supremely talented, Vachon's story is also the amazing tale of how a lifelong make-believe heel became a real-life hero outside of the ring.
With a foreword by his brother, Paul Vachon, and an afterword by his widow, Kathie Vachon.

Very Underwhelming!!
Given the character that he was & certain stories that have followed him, you'd expect this book to share some crazy accounts of him & some of the adventures & escapades he partook in.
but its simply, he went here, he went there, such was the makeup of the man he dine this favour for this booker.... blah, blah, blah...
No excitement, nothing interesting to tell... however in the epilogue it goes on to reference his crazy life, that he had many adventures etc..... but we didn't hear about any of that in this book!
Side note.... it could be down to poor editing, but there are numerous times the narrator starts talking about something, then it goes blank for a few seconds & he comes back on talking & there's clearly a large piece of text missing, you can't even make out whether he's still talking about the same thing...
& this happens quite a few times in this audiobook.
