“From his wrestling days as the rampaging monster who sold out Madison Square Garden and challenged world champion Bruno Sammartino dozens of times, to his pivotal role behind the scenes as part owner and would-be successor to Vince McMahon Sr., to his days as the beloved television commentator who narrated the memories of millions of young fans, Gorilla Monsoon is one of the most fascinating figures in pro wrestling history,” the marketing for the book reads.
The book description continues, “It’s a story that starts with the aspirations of the son of Italian immigrants who becomes a national standout in collegiate wrestling and an Olympic hopeful, then takes an unlikely trajectory through the bizarre world of pro wrestling, eventually landing him in what was then known as the WWWF. From Gino’s wrestling days as the rampaging monster who sold out Madison Square Garden and challenged world champion Bruno Sammartino dozens of times, to his pivotal role behind the scenes as part owner and would-be successor to Vince McMahon Sr., to his days as the beloved television commentator who narrated the memories of millions of young fans, Brian Soloman, the author of Blood and Fire: The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling’s Original Sheik, has once again crafted the definitive biography of one of the most fascinating characters in pro wrestling history. Gino’s name and his voice are etched deep in the memory of wrestling fans the world over. This is his incredible story.”
The foreword is written by fellow WWE Hall of Famer Bret “Hit Man” Hart.
