Sam Sheppard – How a Murder Inspired a Wrestling Career
$0.99
Sam Sheppard was convicted of murder in 1954. He’d later wrestle, where his anatomical knowledge inspired a popular Attitude Era move!
Description
He was accused of murdering his wife and died with secrets no jury ever uncovered. Sam Sheppard’s 1954 murder conviction inspired the popular 1960s TV series “The Fugitive” (later adapted into the 1993 box office hit with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones) — but that’s only half the story. After losing everything, he entered the wrestling ring, where his medical knowledge led to the creation of a finishing move that defined the Attitude Era. The real story of "Killer" Sam Sheppard is darker than Hollywood ever showed.
