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.
