The first autobiography by a German wrestler
In *Meine Kämpfe* (My Fights), Alexander Bedranowsky recounts his unique wrestling career, which came to an abrupt end due to a broken spine. As "Thumbtack Jack," he gained notoriety—and fame—primarily for his so-called "death matches." In these incredibly brutal and bloody bouts, modern-day gladiators battled using weapons such as barbed wire, fluorescent light tubes, and fire. Driven by a self-destructive streak and a constant quest for new extremes, Bedranowsky didn't even shy away from being thrown onto hundreds of hypodermic needles. His willingness to keep raising the bar earned him the reputation of being the world's best death-match wrestler. Yet, he paid a heavy price for this fame: his health—and nearly his life.
A true-life account from a dream world—a must-read for every fan and critic of modern wrestling. It is also recommended for anyone who wants to understand what it’s like to live with a passion that is as all-consuming as it is dangerous—and what happens when you lose it...
Martin Hoffmann (Sport1.de)
Bedranowsky was, and remains, a pioneer. He was one during his ten-year career in the ring, and he continues to be one in the years since. He was the first German wrestler to release an autobiography.
