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.

I’ve been a hardcore ECW fan for longer than I can remember. I ran a podcast for over a year dedicated to the history of ECW and this book gave me insight to the company, Tod Gordon especially, that I had no idea about. I laughed hard and cried almost as hard. Excited to listen to it again, and I just finished it. Now I’m hoping I have the chance to meet and hug Todd Gordon at the next convention.

I found ECW at like 1am on MSG in the 90s. It became a ritual. And in a strange connection Sign Guy Dudley used to work a day job with my Dad. In turn I got a LOT of tapes to watch and I ate it up.
Hearing the actual relationships behind the characters that we saw was an absolute kick and I had to pause this book so many times to Google different wrestlers I forgot about.
The book was great. Descriptive fun and above all enlightening for the early days of ECW.
Superb cowrite and read by Sean, love his show with Nash. Nice to have a familiar voice on my audio books!

A great perspective from a great time in wrestling
