Summary

Del "The Patriot" Wilkes has traveled a seriously tough road - prescription pill addiction that at its worst found him taking 120 pills a day; 10 months in prison; and two bad injuries that ended his pro-wrestling career. But somehow, he rehabbed, recovered, found God, and reclaimed his life! And Del details that story, very candidly & honestly, to Steve!
