Product Description
Product Description
In the wake of the horrific double-murder suicide, four noted wrestling writers grapple with the life and death of Chris Benoit. The writers are all respected investigative journalists committed to looking at this terrible tragedy with integrity and passion. Benoit will approach the subject from distinctive perspectives including the media's coverage of the story, the examination of the bare facts of the case and Beniot's wrestling roots, pop cultural relevance to the case and the context of the events within the pro wrestling industry.

Synopsis
Four noted wrestling writers discuss the life and death of Chris Benoit, a Canadian professional wrestler who became one of the most popular athletes in professional wrestling before committing a double-murder suicide in 2007.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid at all costs., 11 Mar 2008
By J. Robinson (Portsmouth, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Unlike the other reviewers i actually purchased this book. Oh what a fool i was!

After first hearing about the Benoit tragedy & following the media circus that followed i was keen to find out more, hence my purchase of this title. It does not cover the crimes or incident at all. Instead we find a blatant cash in as the publishers have cobbled together some quickly written articles concerning the careers of Chris & Nancy Benoit followed by some anti steroid propaganda.

My advice to anyone who is even contemplating buying this is DON'T, save your money. You will not find out anything you don't already know.

These people should be ashamed of putting out this utter cr@p just so that they can make some easy money out of a tragedy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish. , 26 Mar 2008
To the Person above. If u havent actually read it ur opinion is wrong.

So wrong in fact that the Author doesnt do anything other than write an account of what happened with his point of view at the end. Its Basically Beniots Career, Killing his family, Aftermath and a chapter where the Autor Reflects.

It has nothing new to add as its basically just what happened and doesnt tell u anything u dont already know as a wrestling fan because ull have been on the net or follwed Beniots career to this point anyway.

If you dont know anything about it then buy it as its a written account. Otherwise ur wasting ur money. Ul learn nothing new and feel cheated for wasting ur money on a book that others nothing.
