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 catc-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.
