Review

"A must-read for fans who want to be taken behind the scenes." —New York Daily News

"A history book that anyone who has an interest in professional wrestling should read." —epinions.com

"The exhilaration created by the dueling companies comes alive on the pages." —Wrestling Observer Newlsetter

Product Description

This detailed tell-all of the demise of the former top pro wrestling company World Championship Wrestling explores the colorful personalities and flawed business decisions behind how WCW went from being the highest-rated show on cable television in 1997 to a laughable series that lost 95 percent of its paying audience by 2001. Behind-the-scenes exclusive interviews, rare photographs, and probing questions illustrate with humor and candor how greed, egotism, and bad business shattered the thriving enterprise. Wrestling fans will devour the true story of this fallen empire, which in its heyday spawned superstars such as Sting, Bill Goldberg, and the New World Order.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Account of WCW's Rise And Fall, Aug 12 2008

By	Walter Kovacs "Rorschach" (Belleville, ON Canada) - See all my reviews

Authors Reynolds and Alvarez do a great job describing the tumultuous history of World Championship Wrestling in this quick read. As a fan of outrageously stupid wrestling gimmicks, I enjoyed the parts of the book that detailed horrendous storylines and characters from WCW. It's also a good cautionary tale for some current wrestling promotions on how to avoid alienating your fanbase. At times the narrative is slowed by an influx of ratings and grosses and buyrates but for the most part it flows well. A must read for anyone interested in how WCW blew up real good.
