The Death of WCW

De: R.D. Reynolds, Bryan Alvarez

Narrado por: Bryan Alvarez

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.

Bryan killed it

This is my favorite wrestling book. I was born early 90s, so i was a child during the war. This book informed me more about wcw and wwe than any dvd or network special. I went back on youtubes after hearing about segments or angles. Insane how cringeworthy stuff was.

Great history lesson

An interesting listen, made me want to laugh and shake my head at the same time

amazing!!

it was one of the best books I ever read and listened to good work

Everything That Went Wrong In WCW

A must read book for everyone who's interested in the Monday Night Wars or just a wrestling fan.

Alvarez audiobook is enjoyable yet repetitive

Alvarez's voice is fantastic. Format of chapters sound like long lists of WCW nonsense.
