Ebook: BRISCO: The Life and Times of National Collegiate and World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion JACK BRISCO

Few people in history have made their mark in more than one field, but Jack Brisco was a three-time champion in three different walks of life.

AMATEUR WRESTLING — NCAA heavyweight champion in the 191-lb. class in 1964.

PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING — National Wrestling Alliance world heavyweight champion from 1973 through 1975.

HUMAN BEING — He set the standard for what people should aspire to be — humble, honest, and sincere.

Raised in Blackwell, Oklahoma, Jack grew up as a fan of professional wrestling. In 1965, he won the NCAA national wrestling championship in the 191 lb. class. He had his first professional match when he wrestled Ronnie Garvin on television in Oklahoma City on May 15, 1965.

During the next twenty years, he was regarded as one of the top names in the wrestling business. He won both the Southern and Florida heavyweight titles during his time in Florida (among many other titles) and took the NWA world heavyweight title from Harley Race in Houston on July 20, 1973. Later, he and his brother, Jerry Brisco, became top draws in Florida, Georgia and the Mid-Atlantic territories.

Jack and Jerry bought into the Georgia Championship Wrestling company and were responsible for convincing other shareholders to sell their shares to Vince McMahon, setting into motion Vince's dominance of the wrestling world.

This book is Jack's life story. It includes all the background details from his rise to super-stardom to his quiet retirement at a young age. Just the background stories of how he came to win the various titles he held are worth more than the price of the book.

Published by Crowbar Press, this is the second edition of "BRISCO: The Life and Times of National Collegiate and World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion JACK BRISCO." It includes updated information and is a testament to the life and times of a great man who lived life with humility and class.
