Mad Dogs, Midgets and Screw Jobs: The Untold Story of How Montreal Shaped the World of Wrestling by Pat Laprade, Bertrand Hebert

4.0

While I enjoyed this book immensely and would recommend it to anyone interested in the rich history of Montreal wrestling, it was a hard read at times due to skipping around at points in the timeline instead of a clear "point A to point D" layout. If it had had a better lay out, more dates that included the years and perhaps put the biographies of the individual wrestlers in a separate section it would have made for a smoother read for me. Regardless of these quibbles, Pat and Bertrand have written a fine book that does justice to the history of Montreal. There's quite a bit more to it than just the 1997 screw job.

An excellent, encyclopedic history of professional wrestling in Montreal, covering all of the most notable wrestlers, promoters, venues and programs over the 120+ years of wrestling in the city.
