Ep 67 - The Eighth Wonder Of The World: The True Story of Andre The Giant

Renowned Canadian authors Pat Laprade and Bertrand Hebert join us to discuss their tremendous biography of Andre the Giant!Bertrand and Pat have penned multiple wrestling works together documenting such things as  the Montreal wrestling scene and the life of Mad Dag Vachon, as well as individual works on the history of Women's professional wrestling and the biography of Pat Patterson, but this may be their greatest project yet. Bertrand and Pat go through painstaking detail to make sure they accurately document historical facts and figures, dispel some of the many myths around Andre the Giant (some even created himself!) and most important of all, show the human side of Andre Roussimoff.Go out of your way to find a copy of this book and hopefully you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!Episode sponsored by: Marc's Wrestling Masks To find Pat Laprade on social media:https://twitter.com/PatLapradehttps://www.instagram.com/patlaprade/To find Bertrand Hebert on social media:https://twitter.com/HebertBertwrehttps://www.instagram.com/bertrand_hebert/Music:(Intro/Outro) OPEN HIGHWAY - Silent Partner https://youtu.be/mMhwHptAXJ8Did you know we are now on YouTube?
