ReviewsThe most definitive, well written and thoroughly researched book on the rise and fall of WCW. --Eric Bischoff, former WCW PresidentThis is - without question - the very best book ever written on professional wrestling. --Conrad ThompsonWell written and captivating...a fresh take on [the] time period. --Chris Harrington, AEW VP of Business Strategy...may be the best overall pro wrestling book to date. --David Bixenspan, DeadspinSynopsisIn April 1999, Entertainment Weekly asked its readers what many were surely wondering to themselves: how did wrestling get so big?As a consequence of the heated ratings competition between World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), the spectacle had taken over Monday nights on prime-time cable television.

It is a story of an era, a time in which the media and cultural landscape precipitated - and later supported - pro wrestling\'s mainstream popularity. It is a story of how a company made in the image of an intuitively brilliant risk-taker betrayed its original promise. It is a story of how a handful of men, each struggling with their own limitations, facilitated a public obsession that changed television forever.And so, with the inside knowledge of a journalist, the perspective of a historian, and the passion of a f
