"Dr. Death" Steve Williams was given a second chance. In the prime of his life, Steve was diagnosed with T-4 throat cancer. With God by his side, Steve overcame all odds and survived this deadly disease. Now, Steve is committed to giving his testimony to the people from the wrestling ring. As an athlete, Steve has "done it all." In 1978, he graduated from Lakewood High in Colorado. Recruited heavily by many major colleges, the star athlete eventually accepted an athletic scholarship to the University of Oklahoma. Steve is one of very few legitimate wrestlers to make the transition from the amateur ranks to the professional wrestling ring. While at the University of Oklahoma, he was a two-time Big Eight free-style wrestling champion. As a collegiate football player, he was also a two-time Big Eight champion. Under legendary coach Barry Switzer, Steve went to three major Orange Bowls, the Sun Bowl, and the Fiesta Bowl. He also played professional football as a defensive nose guard for the New Jersey Generals in the United States Football League (USFL). Because of his amateur wrestling background, Steve was generally regarded as one of the most dangerous "shooters" in the business. This tough reputation earned him the nickname "Dr. Death." For the past 20-plus years, he has worked for all major wrestling promotions throughout the world, including World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Steve has held numerous titles and received a plethora of accolades during his career. In 1985, he was named Most Improved Wrestler and First Runner-Up, Tag Team of the Year (with Ted DiBiase). One year later, he defeated the One Man Gang at the 2143 mark in Houston, Texas, to become the winner of the $50,000 Pro Wrestling Illustrated/UWF Challenge Cup Tournament. In 1991, Steve and his partner, Terry Gordy, became the first American tag team to win All Japan's annual tag-team tournament in consecutive years. Most recently, in 2003, Steve won the NWA Heavyweight title from Terry Taylor in China. Steve is also an Asian wrestling icon, for he is the only American who has ever worked for two major companies at the same time in Japan--New Japan and All Japan.

Steve Williams How Dr Death Became Dr Life eBook Steve Williams
Steve "Dr. Death" Williams entered the pro wrestling ranks in 1982 after a legendary two-sport career with the Oklahoma Sooners - an All-American in football, two-time Big 8 freestyle wrestling champion - but his biggest match came only a few years ago.In 2004, Williams had multiple surgeries and radiation treatments for T4 throat cancer. That type of cancer means it was not only found in the oral cavity (classified in degrees of severity from T1 to T3), but it had spread to adjacent areas to the throat.
Dr. Death - a nickname he received in junior-high school - was declared cancer free in 2005, has wrestled for the WWE & independent promotions and currently trains WWE developmental wrestlers. He truly is Dr. Life and the autobiography - with co-writer Tom Caiazzo - focuses heavily on his spiritual journey and the miracle of climbing out of the ring after having his hand raised in victory over cancer.
Williams - whose finishing moves that became a fan favorite included a shoulder block from a football three-point stance - became a wrestling star in singles and tag-team main events for Bill Watts in his Mid-South Wrestling & Universal Wrestling Federation promotions and the NWA. He has worked for other major promotions in the United States and has held a variety of championship belts.
But it was his work in Japan from 1989-1993 with Terry Gordy - as the tag-team, Miracle Violence Connection - that solidified Williams as a superstar. Along with partners Gordy, Gary Albright and Johnny Ace, Williams has held the All-Japan Wrestling tag-team title eight times.
Though it is the strength in faith and defeating the odds in his battle for life that truly makes this book a very powerful testimony in not giving up. "Number one is to do a lot of praying; God has a plan. Number two is to keep laughing and smiling; it's great medicine for everyone," says Williams, about his advice to cancer patients.
And in this world with so much in technological advances, but seemingly many more question marks than answers, Williams provides a perspective that delivers real meaning to the big picture of life.

Steve Williams How Dr Death Became Dr Life eBook Steve Williams Reviews
This book is extremely well written. I didn't want to put it down. The stories, the matches, and the incredible triumph in faith should catapult this to the bestseller list. TWO THUMBS`UP!
Maybe it's my fault I went into this book with high expectations, but I was very disappointed with this book. Not much in the way of inside stories. I've alwas been a fan of Doc, but I think you'd need to be a HUGE fan of Steve Williams to think this book is anything better than OK.
First I want to say that I've been fortunate enough to meet Dr. Death Steve Williams several times in my life, The most recent being in 2003 when he was working for MLW. The guy is one of the nicest athletes I have ever met, He treats people/fans as if he's known you for 20 years, I'm not talking just posing for a picture with you and "thanks for coming to the show kid", I mean the man will answer any question you have and has no problem talking about anything and everything. The last time I met him he had a crowd of about 20 people young and old around him and he stayed there for about 2 hours! ok enough rambling now on to the book. It is a Great book, The best wrestling bio to come out in a long time. Covers a lot of Dr. Death's personal life as well as his Football days to Wrestling all over the globe. It's one of those books that you wish was a 1000 pages long because you want to hear in depth stories about places like Bill Watts Mid-South/UWF, WWE, WCW, ECW, & Japan. No inflated ego here like most other bios, Just an honest story about a tough hard working man who never gave up and always fought at 110% even when injured. The part of the book that explains being diagnosed with cancer is hard to read and will bring a tear to the eye, It's rough but the way Steve Williams writes about it is almost as if it's just another obstacle to overcome, Sure he was scared but he was confident as all hell that he was going to fight it as long as he could. I don't want to give too much of the book away but I'm just so glad I got it and will refer it to people constantly, If you have read any other wrestling bios and liked most of them then you will definitely like this. I think it's better than the Harley Race, Ric Flair, & Ole Anderson books...and that's saying something! & it's right up there with the Terry Funk & Mick Foley books. God Bless Steve Williams and good riddance to his cancer! This is one motivational story people, enjoy!
good book
Ive read alot of wrestling books. This one sucked. Its a shame too. Dr Death was a big name. Read it only if you are a big fan of his. I am less of a fan now.
This is an excellent read. Steve covered the highights and lowlights and did so in an open, honest manner. May he RIP.
I am a big fan of Dr Death Steve Williams. He is a true wrestler in my eyes, big and tough with excellent wrestling skills. I was really looking forward to reading this book but I found it so-so.
It is nto a bad read but nothing more than an ok read. I thought Steve could have commented a bit more about some of the wrestlers that he had met over the years and perhaps have been less flattering about some of them as he seemed to have gotten on with most of the wrestlers.
The book is good for Dr Death's fans, but there are better wrestling books out there.
