Behind the scenes with a pro wrestling and MMA legend

For the first time, Billy Robinson sets the record straight on:

• who won the infamous street fight between him and the grandfather of superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

• how his family was pivotal in introducing “God of Wrestling” Karl Gotch to Billy Riley’s gym and the sport of catch–as–catch–can wrestling.

• the accomplishments of some of the greatest competitive grapplers the world has ever seen and that you’ve likely never heard of before.
