When 2001 began, there were three national wrestling companies, a weekly Monday night ratings battle, and a huge, ravenous fanbase of diehard wrestling fans. By the time the year was over, there was just one national wrestling company, fan interest had waned significantly, and the ratings began a steady decline that continues to this day. What happened? How could a business that had enjoyed unprecedented success as a pop culture phenomenon in the late 90s and early 2000s have fallen so far in the span of twelve months? How did WCW and ECW, once highly regarded pro wrestling empires, become ...

The past thirty years of the wrestling business have been a very tumultuous time, as what was once a regional business grew into a national, and eventually global, entertainment industry. That history is loaded with pivotal moments where one slight change could have had a massive ripple effect that completely changed the landscape of wrestling as we know it today. This collecting of Wrestling History Revisited titles looks at many such pivotal moments in the history of WCW. How would things have been different if Hulk Hogan had never gone to WCW? What if the NWO invasion never happened? ...

Hulk Hogan may be the biggest superstar in the history of the wrestling industry, but he is also responsible for some of the worst stuff to ever grace our TVs. This book covers many of Hulk's most infamous and cartoonishly bad moments, and how heavily responsible he was for ruining every wrestling company he worked in after leaving the WWF in 1992 (including the stuff he pulled when he went back to WWE a decade later). Over the course of this book, you'll get to relive: -Hulk Hogan's epic debut in WCW (and how spectacularly everything about it backfired), -His impressive collection of ...

Once among the top wrestling companies in North America, Jim Crockett Promotions hit hard times in the late 80s, was sold to Turner Broadcasting, and transformed into the company we came to know as World Championship Wrestling. To say the corporate culture at Turner had a hard time meshing with the old-school wrestling mentality of WCW would be an understatement, and by the time the 90s began, WCW was barely recognizable after morphing into a second-rate WWF knockoff. The revolving door of executives with no experience in (or mind for) the wrestling business did everything they could to try...

The Monday Night Wars may have ended fifteen years ago, but that hasn’t stopped WWE from taking every opportunity since then to brainwash its fans into believing that WCW was a joke of a promotion that was run by a bunch of idiots who screwed up everything they touched. WWE’s side of the story gives such a wrong impression that it’s cultivated a generation of wrestling fans who honestly believe that WCW was never good, and only existed for as long as it did because of Ted Turner’s deep pockets. This book tells the side of the story WWE doesn’t want you to hear, and looks back on ...

The World Wrestling Federation was hitting hard times as the 1990s dawned: the 80s boom had died down, Hulk Hogan and most of the rest of the 80s roster were on their way out the door, and they were faced with a stiff challenge in the form of WCW and Monday Nitro. So what would they do to bring the company back to their former glory and regain their financial success and social relevance? The WWF's answer was the creation of the New WWF Generation, a period of time when they were determined to show that their cutting edge product was light years ahead of the wrestlers and presentation of ...

Let’s not mince words: WCW had an atrociously bad first half of the 90s, and it seemed like nothing they tried could bring them the ratings and success they so badly wanted. That all changed when the NWO invasion finally gave WCW the boost they needed, and for two years, WCW rode the NWO to a seemingly insurmountable ratings lead over the WWF. But since this IS WCW we’re talking about here, the whole thing eventually came spiraling back to Earth in dramatic fashion thanks to the usual mismanagement and backstage politics. This book tells the story of how WCW improbably rose to the very ...

WWE has always been willing to take risks and push the envelope to entertain its fans. Sometimes that works out great, but other times, WWE comes away looking incompetent at best, and downright tasteless at worst. This book looks at the absolute worst of the worst, the storylines that not only misfired on all cylinders, but made us embarrassed to be wrestling fans. Relive Big Show's anguish as the Big Boss Man stole his dead father's casket, the night Dawn Marie killed Torrie Wilson's father with her overactive sex drive, Muhammad Hassan's transformation from All-American kid to hardened ...
