We received the following press release about Hacksaw Duggan's new book, which will come out in April.

Hacksaw: The Jim Duggan Story
By Hacksaw Jim Duggan with Scott E. Williams

Known to millions of enthusiasts as a charismatic patriot—with an American flag in his right hand and his signature two-by-four gripped tightly in his right—WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Jim Duggan recounts for the first time his legendary bouts both inside and outside the ring that led him to become one of the most recognizable superstars in the world.

Hacksaw: The Jim Duggan Story (Triumph Books, April 2012) offers professional wrestling fans a ringside seat into his adventurous life. He reveals special stories from his personal life—from his childhood in “Hometown U.S.A”, to his college career at Southern Methodist University, to his short stint with the Atlanta Falcons, to his role as family man and husband—and describes in great detail some of his career highlights including:

* His “Big” break in the WWWF
* His legendary feuds with Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff and Andre the Giant
* His crowning as the “King of Wrestling” in 1989
* His time spent as Prime Time Wrestling co-host on the USA Network
* His induction into the WWE’s Hall of Fame class of 2011

In this who’s who of top-tier wrestling Duggan not only shares the high points of his illustrious career but also the low points that occurred far away from TV cameras and screaming fan including his life-threatening battle with kidney cancer during the prime of his career.

With each page peppered with Duggan’s charming wit, Hacksaw: The Jim Duggan Story provides his cult-like following with much to discover and enjoy about the man who they both love and know as “Hacksaw.”
