Throughout the history of the WWF, there have been times of
prosperity and times of hardship, cycles that shape the ethos of
the company by forcing changes to its infrastructure and on-screen
direction. The one constant throughout three decades of change is
Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the stalwart puppet-master who captains
the ship. Unflinching, thick-skinned, and domineering, McMahon has
ultimately outlasted all of his competition and come out on top of
every wrestling war he has waged. In 1995, he very nearly lost.
Titan Sinking tells the tale of one of the most tumultuous, taxing
and trying years in WWF history. This book gives the inside story
of all of it. Find out the real story of the year, and learn how
1995 brought WWF to the brink.

The highly anticipated sequel to best-selling Titan Sinking After
enduring a turbulent year in 1995, Vince McMahon was looking to
rebuild his sinking empire in 1996. He had high hopes for a new
World Wrestling Federation flag bearer, Shawn Michaels - the man he
was looking to as the leader of the WWF's 'New Generation'. With
Michaels supported by a strong cast of established characters, some
old faces, and an influx of new blood, McMahon fully expected the
WWF to dominate rivals WCW in the burgeoning Monday Night War. It
did not work out that way. Titan Shattered tells the
behind-the-scenes story of the WWF's tribulations in 1996. It was a
year where paranoia threatened to destroy the WWF, where
decades-old industry traditions were broken, and where Vince
McMahon fully abandoned his wrestling principles in pursuit of the
almighty dollar.

annals of WWF television B-Shows, with the first year (or rather,
five months) of Sunday Night Heat. The team explore the broadcast
in great detail, covering every match and angle, unearthing some
forgetting television gems and a whole host of rushed, forgettable
matches. A companion piece to Amazon best seller The Raw Files
1998, The Heat Files features such memorable moments as George
Steele dancing, Mario Lopez from Saved By The Bell tangling with
Val Venis, Mick Foley's leafblower, Shane McMahon murdering the art
of commentating, Drunk Hawk stumbling around, the greatest tag team
in history reduced to enhancement jobbers, Terri Runnels getting
pregnant and the odd wrestling match. A fun trip down memory lane
from the HoW team.
Fed up with being forced to cover endless WWF shows from the
eighties and nineties, Arnold Furious decided to up sticks in 2014
and head to the Orient to cover his true passion: Japanese
wrestling. In the first of his two part adventure, Big Arn travels
the length and breadth of Japan to take in an eclectic wrestling
scene that covers every possible genre imaginable. Covering all of
the happenings in Japanese wrestling for promotions big and small
between the months of January and June, Big Arn stumbles across
some unseen classics, hidden gems and match of the year candidates.
As ever, he also sees some pretty ropey stuff too. With handy
guides to the promotions and a few history lessons sprinkled in to
help out fans unfamiliar with Japanese wrestling, Big Arn's
Puroresu Adventure is suitable reading for all fans. Though be
forewarned; he does tend to get a little excited when writing about
Japanese wrestling! It's all documented here in this 140,000 word
tome!
