A truestory style anthology, these "insider" tales will show the lengths that wrestlers went to uphold "kayfabe" (the old carny term for the presentation of legitimate conflict) as well as the noteworthy cultural, racial, and economic effect these events and characters had on society. This is the graphic novel that old school wrestling fans have been waiting their entire lives for: a noholdsbarred graphic representation of the moments that wrestling insiders couldn't talk about for years. Featuring appearances by Ric Flair, Jerry Lawler, Andy Kaufman, Sputnik Monroe, The Sheik, Junkyard Dog, the Fabulous Freebirds, the Midnight Express, Bret Hart, and Shawn Michaels. Behind the Curtain Real Pro Wrestling Stories present three chapters of tales, personally curated by Cornette and adapted by Brandon Easton (M.A.S.K.: Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) and Denis Medri (Red Hood/Arsenal), the awardwinning team behind Andre the Giant: Closer to Heaven.

"Overall, this book is the most important comic book wrestling graphic novel any wrestling fan can own. A huge credit goes to the Kickstarter fans who make this book possible. Jim Cornette and IDW team have really given a treasure trove of excitement in print form that should not be passed on. Not only that, it has beautiful news clippings woven throughout it, along with an amazing glossary of professional wrestling terms that help fill in word choices used in the book. It's great to see talented artists and writers coming together to give the wrestling fan a book to be proud of." --Comic Crusaders
