“I have been hounded for the past ten years to put my outrageous life in book form. I have no knowledge of how to get published. My book and story involves child abuse, drug addiction, recovery, homelessness, paralysis, and losing a contract with WWE. It’s a story that needs to be told but I need someone to do it interview style over the phone. When I tell the stories you get the full picture. I firmly believe with the way pro wrestling books sell this will be a hit. I have NY Times Best Sellers Mick Foley and Chris Jericho on board to write a forward for this project. My working title is Wrestling with Heroin – Axl Rotten’s Struggle to Survive Pro Wrestling.
Thanks,
Brian Knighton aka Axl Rotten”
That email above was the first contact I had with Brian Knighton, sent exactly three months to the day before he died.
