Chris Jericho Gives New Insight On Benoit

Chris Jericho is working in a new book that has a preliminary title of "Undisputed: How to Become the World Champion in 1,372 Steps." The book will feature a forward by Mick Foley and is set for publication by Grand Central on February 16, 2011.

In the book, Jericho talks about his ups and downs on this path to greatness, how he joined the WWE, starting his rock band Fozzy and his relationship with Vince McMahon. He takes some time to talk about Chris Benoit, who was a close friend of Jericho's, and gives some insight into the man.

On Benoit's sense of humor: "Not a giggle, not a chuckle, not a tee-hee…never went ‘Ha.' But when somebody threw up or fell down the stairs, he would laugh out loud for hours on end."

On being Benoit's friend: "I considered Chris to be one of my closest companions, but it wasn't always easy to be his friend. You had to take the good with the bad when it came to his friendship."

On hearing that Benoit's family was dead: "My gut feeling was Chris had killed them."

Intresting how his gut feeling was that Benoit killed his family. Should be a good read. Ive heard his other book was good. I haven't read it.

1,372 Steps??? Is that all it takes, and then I can be World Campion too???

It's one of the best wrestling books I've read. Very highly recommended.

Think I'll purchase it.

Yer Mackem, you definately should, its far better than Bret Harts in my opinion. His blend of humour and great storytelling is just awesome.

Definately one of the top reads. Read it on Holiday and could hardly put it down, enjoyed Bret Hart's too but Jericho's is definately the best i've read.
