What went wrong with WCW?
In 1997, World Championship Wrestling was on top. It was the number-one pro wrestling company in the world, and the highest-rated show on cable television. Each week, fans tuned in to Monday Nitro, flocked to sold-out arenas, and carried home truckloads of WCW merchandise. Sting, Bill Goldberg, and the New World Order were household names. Superstars like Dennis Rodman and KISS jumped on the WCW bandwagon. It seemed the company could do no wrong.
But by 2001, however, everything had bottomed out. The company - having lost a whopping 95% of its audience - was sold for next to nothing to Vince McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment. WCW was laid to rest.
How could the company lose its audience so quickly? Who was responsible for shows so horrible that fans fled in horror? What the hell happened to cause the death of one of the largest wrestling companies in the world? The Death of World Championship Wrestling is the first book to take listeners through a detailed dissection of WCW's downfall.
Customer Reviews
Well worth grappling with
A well narrated in depth historical review of the decline and death of World Championship Wrestling which includes key relevant events at rival WWE/WWF at the corresponding time. Sadly so many of the performers mentioned are no longer with us. Many of the business / booking decisions made by the WCW hierarchy are simply staggering. Very enjoyable but you need to be a wrestling fan to appreciate it properly.
Brilliant: PLUS 5 STARS!!!
An amazing audiobook about the most definitive moment in beautifully baffling world of pro wrestling. A great listen for those who love the industry , hate the industry and even those who have no interest in the industry. PLUS 5 STARS!!!
