A SCORPION IS BORN: JEAN-PAUL by Damon Peel was published on May 11, 2023.
A SCORPION IS BORN is a short novel that follows the beginning of Jean-Paul’s career as a professional wrestler. The majority of the novel describes Jean-Paul’s first day of wrestling school as he meets his wrestling idol, bonds with two other students, and begins to learn the basics. The last part of the novel summarizes the next few weeks of school and ends with a cliffhanger when another student joins the school. A SCORPION IS BORN is a decent look at the pro wrestling world and early part of training. The dialog is loquacious and overformal, making it a bit difficult to read.
