Overview: As a teenager, Mark Fleming was a top-notch high-school football player and amateur wrestler, but from the time he was a child, he had dreamed of becoming a professional wrestler. In this book, Mark takes the reader down the path he followed to achieve that dream.
Mark didn’t get his spot in the wrestling business because someone paved the way for him. He got in the hard way. His first test was to make it through the grueling tryouts conducted by Gene and Ole Anderson. As everyone knows, Gene and Ole didn’t give any quarter. They showed the 27 wannabes just what they would be facing in the pro rings by rubbing their faces raw on the mat, stretching their limbs to the breaking point, and manhandling them so badly that many of them ran out of the arena without even collecting their street clothes. When the smoke cleared, only one man out of the 27 hopefuls remained standing … Mark Fleming.
It didn’t get any easier when Mark began wrestling for one of the biggest wrestling promotions in the world … Jim Crockett Promotions. During a time when the wrestling business was at an all-time high and record crowds were filling the arenas, Mark wrestled almost every major star that came through the Charlotte territory. The rigor of the road proved every bit as tough as Mark wrestled in 14 different states, Canada, and Japan.
However, Mark wasn’t the type of wrestler who would showboat to catch the eye of the fans and promoters. He was a serious wrestler who believed pro wrestling should be conducted as a sport, and not as a show. His pure wrestling style eventually caught the eye of Lou Thesz, a former world champion, who many consider to be one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time. Lou’s relationship with Mark began as a training partner, but evolved into that of a coach, mentor, and manager. From that day forward, Mark’s career changed for the better.
