Ever wanted to know the worst career choices pro wrestlers made upon retirement? Or which kung fu chop-socky wrestlers would make Bruce Lee do a backflip in his grave? "The WrestleCrap Book of Lists!" has all that -- and much more. The gloves are off as best-selling author RD Reynolds and his co-author Blade Braxton pull no punches in looking at some of wrestling's biggest mistakes, most comical mishaps and most egotistical performers. Among the lists included in this cornucopia of wrestling nonsense are: - Sights Wrestling Fans Should Never Be Forced To See Again! - The Greatest Mullets in the History of the Game! - Porn Stars Who Moonlighted in Wrestling! - The Proof that DX is really, REALLY Gay! - The Greatest Mugshots -- Featuring Your Favourite Wrestlers! - The Pieces of Definitive Evidence that WCW May Have Been Run By Nazis! - Pro Wrestling's Stupidest Hometowns! - The Things That Vince McMahon Always Wants to Talk About (Half of Which Involve His Genitalia)! Of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the book's craptastic main event: the 25 Worst Gimmicks of All Time. Irreverent, off-kilter, and certain to be offensive to all, The WrestleCrap Book of Lists! is pro wrestling's very worst of the worst!
This detailed tell-all of the demise of the former top pro
wrestling company World Championship Wrestling explores the
colorful personalities and flawed business decisions behind how WCW
went from being the highest-rated show on cable television in 1997
to a laughable series that lost 95 percent of its paying audience
by 2001. Behind-the-scenes exclusive interviews, rare photographs,
and probing questions illustrate with humor and candor how greed,
egotism, and bad business shattered the thriving enterprise.
Wrestling fans will devour the true story of this fallen empire,
which in its heyday spawned superstars such as Sting, Bill
Goldberg, and the New World Order.
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. It seemed the company could do no
wrong.
