Quote from publisher description

"The Dangerous Truth, more than just wrestling, it’s a raw story of betrayal, loss, survival and redemption. With his career and life in ruins, Dan Spivey faced a choice, die from addiction or fight for something bigger than himself. From the bright lights of professional wrestling to the downward spiral that never seemed to end. He lay there dying from an out-of-control addiction, to then kick out, Dan knew what he must do, that’s when he found a better way to life. The Dangerous Truth is Spivey’s brutally honest, unflinching, and darkly funny confession: the unforgettable story of a man who was once his own worst enemy to become his greatest champion."

What Dan Spivey’s memoir means for longtime fans

Dan Spivey putting his story into book form gives fans a single, first-person account that connects his in-ring milestones to the personal struggles he says unfolded outside the ring. For readers who followed The Skyscrapers and Waylon Mercy in real time, this release also serves as a deeper retrospective on a career that stretched across multiple major promotions.
