The Long Count

Evan Mercer didn't survive addiction to become a hero. He survived to learn how to stay. From forgotten bingo halls and grimy back rooms to the brightest lights of professional wrestling, The Long Count follows a man rebuilding himself one day, one match, one choice at a time-guided by a broken-down ex-wrestler who knows the cost of shortcuts. This is not a story about fame or glory. It's about discipline, recovery, and the quiet courage to keep standing after the bell rings.
A gritty, honest novel about wrestling, addiction, and the strength it takes to endure when winning is no longer the point.
