Michael Sweetser Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Heck, I own the book, and I, too, would like to hear from a mysterious benefactor. Double if it turns out to be Ted DiBiase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben. Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm wading my way through the book too (And yes, you can all PM me haha) and got to the chapter about the Magic Dragon. Wow. Definitely threw a wrench in there for that last sentence that I wasn't expecting when he just so nonchalantly says: Kabuki wanted to do something nice for Magic Dragon so he gave him a 5-week booking in South Africa as Dragon just got married and thought they could use it as a honeymoon. It was really nice what he did for Dragon to give him a type of honeymoon. The plane they were on went down on the way to South Africa and everyone on board died. When I was reading it, it was just like "WHAT THE FUCK! HOW DO YOU JUST SPRING THAT ON ME LIKE THAT!?! WHAT THE FUCK!?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 There seem to be a few moments like that in the book. He'll start a chapter with a seemingly innocent title, or write a paragraph starting with things going marvelously, and you're just sitting there cringing waiting for the hammer to fall.

Chopper_kingpin Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 There is no reason to buy Mark Lewins book after reading that review. I own the book. I'd willing to bet there are just a many words in that review as there are in the book. It's horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I hate to disrespect a worker's cash flow, but I concur about how useless the MLewin book is. I liked hearing about Shane, Hart, Iaukea and Sullivan but it's a must-avoid, especially with all the better books out there. - RAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notoriusvig Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I don't feel like going through this whole thread for this but what's the verdict of Luger's book? I'm watching some of his matches lately and this sounds pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth combing through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bix Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 With regards to the tone in spots like the "Oh and then Magic Dragon died in a plane crash," keep in mind that the version floating around online isn't the final draft that made it to print. There are a number of big differences between the different versions, like Gary completely omitting his first plane crash from the older draft.

Bix Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 So he was in two plane crashes? Elaborate, please. First one was a commercial crash early in his career in Chicago. He wasn't seriously injured but there were a few fatalities. Don't have the physical book anymore but it might have been a flight to or from Cedar Rapids? Second crash was the one in Florida that has a chapter devoted to it. He included references to it both chronologically when it happened and later noting how Jim Cornette felt extra safe when Gary, Ric Flair, and/or David Crockett were on a plane with him because nobody would ever be in two plane crashes...not knowing Gary already had been! Also wrote a little bit about how he never developed a fear of flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I thought the "two plane crashes" thing with Cornette was because both Gary and Ric had been in one apiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
