{"product_id":"a-wrestling-novel-rett-young-9798349627538","title":"A Wrestling Novel: Kayfabe","description":"\u003cp\u003eDecker Holt has spent his entire life bleeding in buildings nobody cared about. Bar shows, VFW halls, fairgrounds - twenty-two years of professional wrestling for crowds that could fit in a living room, paid in cash and beer money, living out of a van with a busted heater. To Decker, kayfabe isn't a performance - it's a code. A religion. The only honest thing left in a business that sold its soul to corporate America one sponsor deal at a time. So when he watches an ACW broadcast from a barstool in Warren, Ohio and sees everything he hates about what wrestling has become, he says so - on camera, four and a half minutes, unscripted - and eight million people hear every word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlex Thorne hears it too. He's one of ACW's most technically gifted wrestlers, a man who has given eleven years of his life to a company that rewards him with mid-card comedy segments and crowds that chant someone else's name during his matches. When Decker's video goes viral and Thorne's world starts unraveling - a shoot promo on live television, a suspension, a folding chair in Nashville, a contract signed in blood - there's only one place left to settle it. An exploding barbed wire death match. Main event. Apex Crown. The biggest show of the year. Two men who built a blood feud out of principle, pride, and eight million views walking into a ring designed to hurt both of them and only one walking out the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rett Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798349627538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rett Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Rett Young","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874767909119,"sku":"9798349627538","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-wrestling-novel-rett-young-9798349627538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
