“One of the goals of this third “ultimate historical edition” is to reestablish the known — not speculative — record of what happened to Chris Benoit and his family in June 2007. Another is to introduce this wicked story to a new generation of readers.[…]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are likely to be among the last words of my career on the larger meaning of the pop culture phenomenon of professional wrestling — a subject that has obsessed me for more than 35 years. In recent years I largely moved on to other subjects, notably the public health deficits of football and the systemic coach sexual abuse and cover-ups embedded in swimming and other youth sports.

Finding such a theme turns out not to be that hard, since the evidence assaults us 24\/7.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
