Anyone with a sense of humor is going to love the sections that go over the booking while Vince Russo was in charge. Just mind boggling stuff. I watched all of this when it happened and I still can't believe it after reading the book...
For future generations of would-be wrestling bookers and promoters, The Death of WCW is a must-read as it is a case study on how a combination of apathy and selfishness, mixed in with a little incompetence, can destroy even the most powerful wrestling company.
Overall Thoughts: What a truly fantastic reading experience. I think a lot of people in wrestling always try to copy what has worked in the past instead of focusing on not making the same mistakes that ruined companies. This book goes so in-depth during the NWO period that it is indispensable to any wrestling fan.. Exhaustively researched, incredibly entertaining, to put it bluntly - YOU MUST GET THIS BOOK. Pick up The Death of WCW as it's not just the best wrestling book of 2004, it is the best book on wrestling done to date and will go nicely in your library next to both of Mick Foley's books along with Ric Flair's To Be the Man.
