by Eric Bischoff and Jeremy Roberts

Book Overview

Under Eric Bishoff's watch as president of WCW, the company went head to head with Vince McMahon's WWE and beat them at their own game before WCW itself spectacularly imploded.

Customer Reviews

Bischoff takes on the Challanges

Eric Bischoff does an outstanding job of being fairly objective while recalling many exciting high points that not only shaped this "outsider's" career but the wrestling industry as we know it today. You won't see any bitter and hate-filled bashing in Bischoff's book, and the former operator of WCW does a great job of taking on issues and myths that surrond one of wrestling's most controversial men.

Good Read

This is a well written book that provides a business perspective to the fall of WCW.

Excellent read

Eric Bischoff: Controversy Creates Cash (WWE)

Fantastic book !!!!!! Even if you don't like Bischoff and many don't the book is fancinating reading. He tells it straight up, like it REALLY was & is !!! I would HIGHLY recommend this book to any true wrestling fan....

GREAT BOOK, WORTH THE CASH!!

This is an great book. Its filled with tons of info that none of us would ever know about the fall of WCW if it was not for eric. Yes, it does leave you wanting to know more like another customer pointed out in an earlier review, but overall its worth every penny. I like the fact that he comes out and tells us what really happened between him and jim ross, vince russo, hall and nash and hogan. I thought the story about how Hall almost broke eric in two at the GREAT AMERICAN BASH was Fantastic!!!!! I read the book not knowing what to expect and ended LOVING IT!!! I have not read a book since 2000 and this one is so addictive, I read it in 4 days. For the true wrestling fan......You wont be disappointed!!
