Venture Literary Sells North American Rights to Follow-Up Book on World Wrestling Entertainment to Citadel Press

Frank R. Scatoni, representing award-winning Internet journalist Scott Keith, sold the North American rights to Keith’s follow-up book on World Wrestling Entertainment, to Richard Ember at Citadel Press. Attitude Problem: The Death of the World Wrestling Federation will be the sequel to Keith’s Tonight…In This Very Ring!, which Citadel published in January 2003.

Throughout 2002, when Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Federation should have been making its greatest gains and showcasing the largest roster of talent in the history of professional wrestling, it instead somehow became a victim of its own success and virtually self-destructed off-screen and on-screen, sometimes at the same time. But why did things get this bad? What was so fundamentally wrong about what the WWE was doing in 2002, and how did someone so widely acknowledged as a genius manage to become his own worst enemy in the space of only a year or so?

Attitude Problem: The Death of the World Wrestling Federation will answer those questions in detail, as veteran wrestling writer Scott Keith unleashes his poison pen on the only surviving wrestling promotion and examines the stupid mistakes made on the way from the top to rock bottom.

Scott Keith is the author of the critically acclaimed The Buzz on Professional Wrestling (Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2000), in addition to his WWF history, Tonight…In This Very Ring! (Citadel Press, 2003), and an avid follower of wrestling since almost the day he was born. He is currently the #1 writer and recapper for www.411wrestling.com, the largest independent wrestling website on the Internet, and his work is read by millions of readers every month.
