About this ebook
From Scribd: About the Book
The newest edition of this true crime book covering one of the most interesting murder-suicide cases in recent years, Chris & Nancy covers the Benoit murder-suicide story from the WWE to Donald Trump's Presidency. This shocking case turned into the biggest scandal to occur in the world of the WWE to date. In the new introduction to the book, Muchnick discusses how the Trump presidency employed the wrestling "attitude" and how this scandal informed events leading up to and during Trump's presidency.
Irvin Muchnick delves deep into the Benoit case, conducting countless interviews with people inside and out of the wrestling circle to understand why Chris Benoit murdered his wife and their young son before taking his own life. This book goes far beyond the crime itself. Its well-researched and well-written account of the crime is only the surface of what this book seeks to understand about the Benoit case.
Taking a scrutinizing look at the massive number of steroids provided to WWE talent and looking into the doctors who prescribed them to the wrestlers, Muchnick exposes a world of drugs that hide behind-the-scenes. This incredibly popular form of sports entertainment has created a culture that doesn't protect their talent, and despite the WWE's "wellness policy," the drugs continued flowing. Muchnick reveals how the violent tendencies of someone taking a large number of steroids might have led to this tragedy and blows the lid off the WWE's toxic work environment.
