Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) of theScore Television Network caught up with WWE Hall of Famer Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Highlights:

The other book titles discussed for his new autobiographical release "Hacksaw" and the tone of the book:

"(The book) is actually a more positive look at pro wrestling, a lot of guys are bitter. People see the movie 'The Wrestler' with that jerk Mickey Rourke and think we are all destitude degenerates. A lot of people have been successful in our business. I've been with my wife 28 years, my kids go to school, I live a normal life. tito Santana is the same way, Roddy Piper is the same way. I thought it was important to hear our side of the story too."
