About this listen

The uncensored inside story of ECW's founder Tod Gordon's journey from jewelry store owner to one of the three most powerful promoters in pro wrestling.

In Tod is God—so named for a chant the ECW fans created to honor the founder—Gordon chronicles each step of the company's meteoric rise to prominence, as well as the elements that led to his removing himself from the company before its demise. Gordon's former partnership with ECW booker Paul Heyman made for magical TV and in-ring moments. The friendship between Gordon and Heyman, both a blessing and curse, was the once-in-a-lifetime bond responsible for so many of history's greatest teams, bands, and partners. Gordon has stayed silent on the causes for the split and, by doing so, assumed blame for it. Until now.

Tod is God is the closest you'll ever get to living ECW's ride to the top. Come sit beside Sandman, Sabu, Terry Funk, Cactus Jack, and other ECW stars as Gordon brings you inside the locker rooms, hotel rooms, and car rides. From the triumphs and breakthroughs to the frustrations and tragedies, you'll live it all alongside the man who started it all.

Very enjoyable and entertaining read. The ECW story told from the man who started it all and his perspective on the events. Which differs from the WWE and Paul Heyman story.

Crazy ECW story. From a different perspective.

Tod Gordon's side of ECW hasn't been detailed as much as Paul Heyman's side and this book takes you on a humorous, tragic and entertaining journey from the early days of Eastern Championship Wrestling before it was taken to Extreme! The narrator was engaging and really added to the story being told.

Fantastic Insight
