next twenty years he was involved in countless incidents of cruelty and extreme hazing of younger wrestlers.”

4. Sullivan booking era, “In 2000, Chris Benoit threatened his bosses in Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling with the promise that he would mutilate himself on live television if he was forced to go through a storyline he didn’t like.”

5. The gritty details about Benoit being a drug addicted lunatic…

6. Probably the only honest psychological profile of Benoit published, speaking in detail just how much of a selfish, misguided, utterly cruel and ridiculous man he always was and how his choice of lifestyle indicted him from the beginning.

Like a lot of things, we will never be sure if these allegations are true. It clearly says that interviews were conducted including “FORMER” employees of the biggest wrestling companies then and now… doesn’t that mean “DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEES”… the kind of people who would do anything to get back at their former bosses for kicking them out? How reliable is that kind of data? Nowadays, people blog about something and people may very well accept it as fact without even checking… like Wikipedia.

What is it with these guys who continually try to make wrestling look so bad? I know they may be doing this for the sake of children who don’t know the difference between real and fiction but this is getting ridiculous! I mean this guy actually made a book to reveal these things about these people whom he has nothing to do with and to a guy whose reputation has already been tarnished enough! The author of the book is a TRUE CRIME writer… why would he touch on a topic that has little to almost no connection to his field of work? No, don’t tell me about the time Sabu and RVD got caught with drugs… or when Hulk Hogan’s son getting into that car accident… or the time Ric Flair got arrested for getting into a car accident… or when Psicosis punched and stole his friend’s car… or even about the infamous Brody murder… these were rare and unfortunate occurrences. There are still over 10,000 other amateur and professional wrestlers who are alive, healthy and living a clean life. I smell something fishy and it most certainly isn’t my dinner (I’m having pork chops!)!

It is my opinion that the writer did this solely for the money. I mean, come on! There are tons of other worse things to write a book about…graft, corruption, the so-called war on terror… why couldn’t he just write about those instead? Why did he went out of his way to find people and ask them about the wrestling industry? To put what I’m trying to say bluntly: IT WAS NONE OF HIS BUSINESS! Oh wait, I hear some defenses…

”He’s only concerned about the welfare of other wrestlers struggling in the business”

I only see a guy trying to get money off a tragedy.

”But he’s a legal consultant that manages Hurricane Katrina rehabilitation”

So he helps people… There! You see? Why doesn’t he write something about the government instead since a lot of analysts say it was the government that screwed that one up!

”You’re just a whacked up wrestling fanboy! Shut the hell up!”

Why, yes I am! But you don’t see me stepping on other people after they’ve been humiliated do you?

Listen, I don’t want to drag you further into my rant. I won’t tell you to side with me but one things certain: the publication of this book may raise more awareness for the welfare of all the people involved in the wrestling industry but underneath all that good, all it has done is to make wrestling look bad and has undoubtedly brought more shame to what’s left of the reputation of the man named Christopher Michael Benoit… You can call me a Benoit fanboy all you want but I still hope that one day the investigators will admit they got it wrong… or maybe somebody told them to fake the evidence… that maybe he didn’t do that to his family…

Why did Mr. Matthew Randazzo V (there, that’s his name… if you agree with me and want to contact him in some manner, there’s his name) have to do that to make his point? Why couldn’t he just lay off guy even if he really was a jerk to others? Benoit has lost everything… he hit the bottom of the pit… this book throws garbage into that pit… it is uncalled for and just plain unnecessary.
