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: http://wrestlingbabylon.com; blog: http://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: http://ecwpress.com) was recently recognized by Publishers Weekly as one of North America's fastest growing and most diversified independent publishers.

Information about and updates on CHRIS AND NANCY: The True Story of the Benoit Murder-Suicide and Pro Wrestling's Cocktail of Death can be followed at http://benoitbook.com.

And what happens if the cops decide to get off their hides, scurry out of the coffee shop and actually investigate the fucking case? What if Kevin Sullivan is proven to be the murderer? There are certainly not enough facts to even start thinking about writing a book on this. Every married couple has their problems. Chris and Nancy's just happened to be exposed to the world. If Benoit was still alive, would they investigate then? Or just pass him off as the killer to sweep the case under the rug? Bottom line, it's way too soon for this.

Would be interesting but Rated-R made a good point. Also, it is too early for it yet. It's been, what, 3 weeks!?

Rated R made no point at all. If there was any evidence of another person being involved I'm sure they would've found something by now.

Most people are just going with Kevin Sullivan because he is supposedly a high ranking member of teh Church of Satan, which he isn't.

Also the fact that he and Benoit had issues.
