WRESTLING BABYLON: Piledriving Tales of Drugs, Sex, Death, and Scandal – Irvin Muchnick’s new book about pro wrestling behind the scenes — is now the bestselling wrestling book, and the fifth bestselling book in all sports, in the rankings at Barnes&Noble.com.
Sales were boosted by sports-media columnist Phil Mushnick’s praise in the April 15 New York Post. Mushnick called WRESTLING BABYLON “a new book that [World Wrestling Entertainment boss] Vince McMahon no doubt wishes was never published.” (http://www.nypost.com/seven/04152007/sports/to_slur__with_love_sports_phil_mushnick.htm?page=2; free registration required)
