American Dysfunction: The Adventures of Scott
Scott Miller is a former professional wrestler who can’t seem to catch a break. After yet another layoff from the Union, Scott is at a loss for what to do next. Then, out of the blue, he gets a call from his old promoter at Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, asking him to put on the face paint for one last title shot.
Just as Scott begins to taste the glory he’s always chased, his dreams are shattered when he discovers his promoter’s deep gambling debt to a dangerous biker gang. Realizing the peril they’re all in, Scott rallies his fellow wrestlers to save their friend. Desperate and determined, they’ll stop at nothing to pay off the debt – even if it means robbing a bank.

American Dysfunction: The Adventures of Scott stayed with me long after I finished the last page. Ryan Rex gives us more than a fast-moving plot, he gives us a bruised, aging man clinging to dignity in a world that keeps moving on without him. Scott Miller feels achingly real: proud, worn down, loyal to a fault. The wrestling backdrop is raw and unglamorous, a mirror for American promises that don’t always pay out. What moved me most was the camaraderie, the quiet honor among men who refuse to abandon one of their own. It’s rough, heartfelt, and unexpectedly tender. A deeply satisfying, honest read.
