His name is Vampiro, aka El Vampiro Canadiense, aka Ian Hodgkinson -- and his is one of the great, untold stories of professional wrestling. Until now.
Hodgkinson has endured more bodyslams than most people could survive: childhood abuse, homelessness, exploitation at the hands of unscrupulous promoters, injury, addiction, love found and lost and friendships shattered.
Vampiro: Angel, Devil, Hero exposes the seamy underbelly of fame in the world of professional wrestling and traces one man's heart-of-darkness journey from the top rope to rock bottom and back up again -- a man who is an angel to his family, a devil to society and a hero to his fans.
