I haven't seen a thread on this yet, so I figured I'd start one. I pre-ordered this book about a month ago, and received it late Friday afternoon. I haven't been following Irv Muchnick's blog, which I was told has some of his thoughts, emails with WWE lawyers, etc. That said, I started reading the book over the weekend and I am about half-way through now. I am going to reserve my full opinion until I am finished, although thus far, it's been a really good book and I can't wait to finish and learn more about this tragedy and the details surrounding it. Has anyone else picked this book up or had a chance to read it?  |

Oh my, I wasn't even aware of such a book. I'm really interested in reading and learning about the details surrounding the incident. Please do tell us your views of the book once you're finished!

Why is Vince on the cover? Makes me believe he'll receive of a lot of wrongful accusations in the book. I'll skip it.

Oh boy...this thread can only end badly. You're probably right, but I am hoping people can stay on topic, discuss the book.... |

Hey, go back in time five years and tell the average member of the IWC that Benoit is going to become one of the best-known post-Attitude Era pro wrestlers and bring the WWE significant mainstream media coverage! They'll be estatic! |

I've been thinking about getting this book, however I keep going back to the same thought: The only people that actually know what happened are dead.Thus, I can't see myself buying this work of fiction. |

Will the book go into details on when he was demoted to ECW from the Four Horsemen?

A WWE Cocktail of death has to have a Batista stirring stick in it. There's his new gimmick for you: Bartista, an angry mixologist who serves up COCKTAILS OF DEATH |

McDevitt has already told them that if they went threw with this he would destroy them in court. This book is one of the biggest loads of crap I can remember hearing about. From people who have read copies of it, it contains so many lies and accusations toward Vince and WWE that they are surprised it got published. |
