WWE News: Jericho includes photo of Chris Benoit and dedication to Benoit in his new book Oct 14, 2007 - 2:49:13 PM

Chris Jericho dedicates his new book, "A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex," to a lot of wrestling colleagues including Nancy Sullivan and Chris Benoit. He also included a photo of him with Chris and Nancy. He said he thought about removing it before going to press, but decided to pay tribute to the Chris Benoit he knew, not the one who killed his family and himself.
"I felt that to pull this picture would suggest that Chris and Nancy never existed. But they did exist and they loved each other and I lovd them. So it stayed," he wrote.
Jericho's book, which includes a foreward by Jim Ross, details his career through WCW and up until he stepped on stage with WWE for the first time.
Bret Hart calls it "as honest as any book written by anybody else in the know."
