Wrestling Reality: The Life and Mind of Chris Kanyon, Wrestling's Gay Superstar by Chris Kanyon, Ryan Clark
5.0
I have always been somewhat of a WWF guy. Growning up in the UK around the 90's BOOM period i had the luxury of both WWF and WCW. WWF more regular through Sky Sports but also WCW at the Cartoon Network TNT switch over. Kanyon was always one of those guys that i watched but would never have a lasting impression of.
Now i am 25, A referee i see wrestlers and there work in different lights, i see more than there overall ablility in the ring. i see there over all contribution to the business and Chris Kanyon in my opinion had IT. I dont say it about a lot of people. I agree Raven has it, i know he has iv worked shows with him and spent time with him he has it. Jake Roberts im not convinced about but Kanyon had IT.
This book highlights the highs and lows of any person in the pro Wrestling business but is even more personal due to Chris's personal demons.
This book is well written and the layout and general story breakdown makes it manageable to read in the sense that your not just looking at pages and pages of words its appealing to me as i kept saying to myself.. "ok well just a few more sections"
At times i think the book went a little to far off story but i guess thats what Ryan took from Chris and it all made the over all book the high and low account which in retrospect is just what Chris's life was all about.
This isnt just a book for wrestling fans, This book would be a great tool for any young, Old, man, Woman, Boy or girl suffering with sexuality issues. This could be a great tool to help them with along the way. Kanyon wrote at the back of the book that he closed his speech at the gay speaking convention he did at the Uni that they were to enjoy the journey and to enjoy life. I put it to you, if any one reads this and is struggling with sexuality or you know someone who is, then just because Kanyons voice might be gone, his words are immortalised forever. Great Read.
