ECW Press Announces CHRIS AND NANCY by Irvin Muchnick, Story of the Benoit Murder-Suicide, for 2008 Publication
July 16, 2007 - ECW Press announced today that it has signed author Irvin Muchnick to write a book about the sensational case of wrestler Chris Benoit.
The book, entitled CHRIS AND NANCY: The True Story of the Benoit Murder-Suicide and Pro Wrestling's Cocktail of Death, will be published in 2008.
Muchnick is author of the hot-selling ECW Press book, WRESTLING BABYLON: Piledriving Tales of Drugs, Sex, Death, and Scandal (site: wrestlingbabylon.com blog: muchnick.net/babylon, and has appeared extensively in media coverage of the Benoit case. The appendix of WRESTLING BABYLON documents the premature deaths of nearly 100 wrestlers over the last generation from drugs and related aspects of the pro wrestling lifestyle. That information has been cited both by commentators and by a member of Congress urging investigation of the billion-dollar pro wrestling industry.
Michael Holmes, senior editor of ECW Press, said: �We are delighted to be publishing what certainly will be the most authoritative and best-written full-length account of the Benoit tragedy and its implications. Irv Muchnick's WRESTLING BABYLON is both one of the most important and one of the most commercially successful books in our company's history. We expect CHRIS AND NANCY to break more new ground.�
ECW Press (site: ecwpress.com) was recently recognized by Publishers Weekly as one of North America's fastest growing and most diversified independent publishers.

I'd watch it if it was a home video. I hate reading books.
I bet it wont sell good. Since WWE wouldn't promote it or nothing.

Unless it's intended to be fiction, I'm wondering how it can be title "CHRIS AND NANCY: The True Story of the Benoit Murder-Suicide and Pro Wrestling's Cocktail of Death" since no one actually knows the truth.

They really jumped onto this really quick didn't they? Though most of this will probably be speculation by the author and several sources.
And no, I don't think it will sell well either.

OMG, Ryan Davis, you're sick! Anyway, I can't believe WWE wants to make money off of this tragedy...
