Pain and Passion
The History of Stampede Wrestling
Heath McCoy
Discover the fascinating history of Calgary's Stampede Wrestling and its profound influence on professional wrestling. Pain and Passion takes readers on a rowdy ride through the evolution of Stu Hart's family-run promotion, from its humble beginnings to its peak in the 1980s and eventual downfall. This is a tale of family, human tragedy, and the loss of innocence in the wrestling world. Learn how the emergence of Vince McMahon's media empire changed the face of wrestling forever, and nearly destroyed the Hart family in the process. A wild blood-on-the-mat saga over 50 years in the making, Pain and Passion is a must-read for anyone who appreciates powerful drama.
