If that's the Matt Randazzo guy, he's a total asshole. I heard him do a couple of interviews and he couldn't have come across worse. 100% of the book was taken from print and shoot interviews that the author saw. Most unoriginal work i've ever read. Total money grab. Doesn't mean you won't enjoy it, but you've heard every story in there before.

One of the most fucked up depressing books I have ever read. Guy pulls no punches.

After a few days to digest I have a few thoughts.
1) People besides me think that HHH is working the McMahon family.
2) I never heard the incest stories.
3)A lot of people hate HHH and HBK
4) Almost no one likes Hall and Nash.
5)Why do I watch this stuff when all it does is fuck up anyone associated with it
6) Hart family way more fucked up than Von Erichs
7)There is no such thing as a good decent person in the business

I read this book a few years ago. This description is spot on. It's a miracle Benoit didn't snap earlier than he did.

Simple he had support around him. He either chased them off or they died.

Anything about Verne Gagne or The Destroyer (Dr. X in the midwest)?
