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.

Customer Reviews
Avoid at all costs.
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.
Rubbish.
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.
GARBAGE
How dare these authors pretend to know what they are talking about when it comes to the state of mind of someone at their lowest point. Are any of these men mental health specialists? No doubt they will call this an act of "roid rage" which could have been avoided on WWE's part when it has been proven that this was a premeditated attack. I am in no way defending Benoit's actions but to truly understand why he did what he did you must know his past and the circumstances that led to it. In closing you only have to look at the cover of this book to see that this is simply sensationalised, often fabricated garbage. SAVE YOUR MONEY!
