Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted August 30, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2018 Has anybody had the chance to read this book yet? I'm just getting started on it and I have to say, given that Bischoff was pushing it as a much "fairer" look at the rise and fall of WCW than Death of WCW, and that I really didn't think there was much left to say about the subject, it's really good so far. The author looks heavily at Turner and the business side of WCW, as well as all the booking bullshit we all already know about, so there's actually a fresh take here. Has anyone read it? Any thoughts? I recommend it to anybody looking for a new wrestling book to read. Here's the author talking to John Pollock about the book. https://www.postwrestling.com/2018/08/26/the-post-interview-guy-evans-author-of-nitro/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonworden Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm reading it or starting to now between other books I have on the go. I'm reading the free sample right now as it's quite pricey but thoughts so far are it's a decent read and I can see how Bischoff says it's a different angle. Lots more on the corporate side which wasnt really covered in previous books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_3165 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Nope. I don't see how its going to uncover anything that the millions of documentaries and personal accounts don't say already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 'millions' of other projects don't have a heavy focus on interviewing executives and production staff from Turner/WCW at the time. It's a totally different animal.
