A writer, editor, producer, and stay-at-home dad, GREG OLIVER has 20 books out -- and counting. His latest, which was published in Feb. 2024, is "Run with the Bull: Three Generations of Sports and Entertainment." It's the story of comedian Eric Johnston, whose father was wrestler Danny "Bullwhip" Johnson and his grandfather was Bull Johnson. Greg is best known for writing about professional wrestling, including the acclaimed Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame series with Steven Johnson, and "The Woman Who Would Be King: The MADUSA Story" with Debrah "Madusa" Miceli. He is the Producer of the SlamWrestling website. He's done six hockey-related non-fiction books: "Father Bauer and the Great Experiment"; "Blue Lines, Goal Lines & Bottom Lines"; "Don't Call Me Goon"; "The Goaltenders' Union"; "Written in Blue & White"; "Gratoony the Loony: The Wild, Unpredictable Life of Gilles Gratton" (with former NHL and WHA goalie Gilles Gratton), and one baseball book, "Gibby: Tales of a Baseball Lifer" with former Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. The biography, "Who's The Man? Billy Van!", written with Stacey Case, came out in late 2020. As well, Greg has written two books for children: "Duck With The Puck" (with his son, Quinn), and "Santa's Day Job". In 2008, he was a co-recipient of the James C. Melby Award for professional wrestling journalism from the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Hall of Fame at the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum in Waterloo, Iowa. In 2021, he received the Cauliflower Alley Club's James C. Melby Historian Award, and the Bill Fitsell President's Award from the Society for International Hockey Research. His freelance work has appeared everywhere from Sports Illustrated to The Hockey News, to The Globe & Mail, and he's participated in countless radio and television interviews, and was the writer of the Sweet Daddy Siki documentary that aired on CBC's Documentary Channel. Greg lives in Toronto, Ontario, with his wife and son.
