Real Pro Wrestling Stories

Jim Cornette Behind the Curtain Review: Wrestling’s Twilight Zone   INTRODUCTION: The Docu-Comic of the Century Welcome to our Jim Cornette Behind the Curtain Review. This illustrated docu-comic explores the golden age of professional wrestling. Specifically, it focuses on the “veil of commitment” that kept the industry alive. Presented by Jim Cornette, the book feels like a wrestling version of The Twilight Zone. While it looks like a superhero comic, these stories are real. They feature high-risk stakes and high-intensity drama. Prepare to get slammed into the squared circle with this fascinating IDW release. STORY: Kayfabe and the Montreal Screwjob In this Jim Cornette Behind the Curtain Review, we dive into the mind of a notorious wrestling businessman. Cornette knows his history. He tours the reader through the backstories of wrestling’s greatest “works.” He even includes his own involvement in the infamous Montreal Screwjob. As a diehard fan, I found the telling of these stories 100% factually accurate. The book effectively slams the “wrestling is fake” belief to the mat. Cornette argues that wrestling is a circus of sport, theatre, and psychological manipulation. Because the internet has torn down the walls of kayfabe, this look at the “locker room law” of the past is essential reading. ART: Superhuman Proportions and Eerie Eyes Denis Medri’s artwork is a standout point of this Jim Cornette Behind the Curtain Review. Medri presents wrestlers with unrealistic proportions. For example, Ric Flair looks like a Goliath. However, this style beautifully represents how fans remember their childhood icons. The art cements human legends as superhuman superstars. That being said, the eyes are somewhat unsettling. Cornette narrates the action like Rod Serling, breaking the fourth wall as the history unfolds around him. VERDICT: The Final Jim Cornette Behind the Curtain Review Overall, Jim Cornette’s history of wrestling is fully engaging. You will love it whether you are a wrestling fan or not. I am gobsmacked that Hollywood hasn’t picked up these stories yet. They change the world of storytelling forever. Accuracy: 10/10 Art Style: 8/10 Verdict: A Main Event stunner.
