Beschreibung
This is the first thorough and authoritative report of events surrounding the Benoit murder-suicide in 2007, in which WWE superstar Chris Benoit murdered his wife and their seven-year-old son before killing himself. One of the most shocking stories of the year, it was also a seminal event in the history of wrestling which laid bare the devastating prevalence of steroids and its effects on users. Irvin Muchnick - author of Wrestling Babylon (ECW, 2007) and co-author of Benoit (ECW, 2007) - has parsed public records and interviewed dozens of witnesses, inside and outside wrestling, to give the story the full true-crime treatment. Chris and Nancy also goes beyond the crime itself, showing how the tragedy was a microcosm of the drugs culture in wrestling. Muchnik probes the story of the massive supplies of steroids and human growth hormone found in Benoit's home and the WWE 'wellness policy' that promoted everything except the talents' wellness. The Ultimate Historical Edition extends the 2009 true crime account by connecting it to it to someone who was then a bit player in the wrestling world: Donald Trump. A new introduction reflects on Trump's business ties to WWE's McMahon family, how wrestling 'attitude' came to define the populist, demagogic Trump presidency, and their similar scandal management playbooks.
