A true-story style anthology, these "insider" tales will show the lengths that wrestlers went to uphold "kayfabe" (the old carny term for the presentation of legitimate conflict) as well as the noteworthy cultural, racial, and economic effect these events and characters had on society. This is the graphic novel that old school wrestling fans have been waiting their entire lives for- a no-holds-barred graphic representation of the moments that wrestling insiders couldn't talk about for years. Featuring appearances by Ric Flair, Jerry Lawler, Andy Kaufman, Sputnik Monroe, The Sheik, Junkyard Dog, the Fabulous Freebirds, the Midnight Express, Bret Hart, and Shawn Michaels. Behind the Curtain - Real Pro Wrestling Storiespresent three chapters of tales, personally curated by Cornette and adapted by Brandon Easton (M.A.S.K.- Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and Denis Medri (Red Hood/Arsenal), the award-winning team behind Andre the Giant- Closer to Heaven.

I'd never heard of Cornette before putting this book on hold at the library, but shortly afterward, I saw a news article about him being fired from his wrestling announcer gig for making a racist joke during a show. ( )
