Ring of Hell: The Story of Chris Benoit and the Fall of the Pro Wrestling Industry, is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.com. The book should be available in June. To clarify an earlier report, the book will actually not be centered around racism in World Wrestling Entertainment, reports prowrestling.NET. The book will contain issues regarding racism with the WWE creative team, but it is not centered around racism. It will be an investigative piece regarding the life of Chris Benoit and the pro wrestling industry.

So.. uhh.. yeah...

Cashing in on the hot story, I suppose.

So, will you read it? Interested? Couldn't care less?

Thought this was a new TNA match. No, won't read it. I'll let someone else read it first and decide what I think for me.

Seems to me this book will be 30 chapters of "Benoit killed his family, and here's how to blame Wrestling". So no, I'm not going to read it; I've already heard enough.

The Benoits were killed by a demon-possessed Bowflex. The end.

All he wanted was some TAP water and some CROSSFACE chicken.

I'm sorry, this happened more than two weeks ago, no one cares anymore.

Wait...Is WWE releasing this?

Except for Chris Benoit's WWE status and the like, I'm not seeing WWE anywhere in the descriptions and so on....

Anyway, I'm betting this pisses off wrestling fans in the usual fashion. WWE hates the fans and treats them like shit, they hate the workers, treat them like shit and push them to do things that will kill or injure them, and yet, for some reason, the IWC will defend them to the death. It's battered wife syndrome.

I feel like a book on racism in the industry would be more interesting than a story that's been played to death

Especially in a business where black=wheelchair when discussing how much of a handicap being black is

I'd rather see a comprehensive look at the way things are run in pro wrestling. Racism, drugs, assholes snapping, crazy people, injury, safety, etc.

Though I'm amused that a forum who can debate who screwed Bret ad nauseum can also turn to the issue of Benoit snapping and go "boring..."

Would be a good book. Probably wouldn't ever happen though, unless someone went all Jim Bouton

The flaws in wrestling would probably take over 1000 pages.

Pretty sure they're not.

I would think WWE is apprehensive about releasing a book on a subject they've tried to bury for a year.

That, and exposing their own alleged racism, biggotry and all-around assholism is probably on the bottom of the to-do list.

Well, Vince has done just about everything else he can do to kill wrestling. Maybe he really does want to end WWE.
