GQ Money BOOK REVIEW
When JR Benson handed me a
copy of his new book "Extremely Strange" I
was already in a fantastic mood. As he said to me, "I wrote a book,
and I
wrote about you, can you check it out?" I was once again even more so
ecstatic. I am an avid reader, and have contemplated when it will be
that I finally
write a book of my own, but seeing that my friend JR Benson has
actually written a full length, hardcover book, I was just in awe.
It was
awesome!!!
Then I flipped open the cover and saw how small the fucking type was.
Jesus Christ, I sure hoped he wrote about me early, because this was
420-pages or so of small ass print, that I feared would hurt my eyes.
I mean, I
stopped reading my 1897 1st print of PT Barnum's bio for that very reason.
Well, when I woke up the following morning, it was time to dive in.
Well fortunately for me, JR and I never crossed paths until the tail end
of
his career, so I was forced to read the whole damn thing... And I'm glad I
did.
This book could be the most honest portrayal of someone trying to make
it in the wrestling biz that I have ever seen. Sex, drugs, crime,
golden
showers, blade ropes, balcony dives, controversy, fallouts, heat, anger,
and
everything in between. Hell with the exception of all the blood, and
piss, and hardcore drugs, and
San Francisco strippers, and connections with
major names in the business, it was as if I was reading a journey similar
to
my own.
JR Benson, way to go! The book is awesome, and I'm glad to know you.
You have definitely carved out your legacy, and you will never be
forgotten
as a pioneer of this industry.
Maybe one day, especially considering the dismal state of the business,
we will have a chance to put together a truly outrageous and entertaining
vision of our own, giving you one last chance to take it to a new
extreme. I mean, what if we could actually rip people's limbs off in the
ring,
or split them in half, or freeze them in ice and then shatter the guy?
I'm working on the techniques now, and when I finally figure it all out,
JR
Benson will be a name I will call to help me!
Thanks so much for the kind words about me, and thanks so much for such
a great book!!!
