The Worst Of WCW Volume 1: Where The Big Boys Play

by Stuart Carapola

Once among the top wrestling companies in North America, Jim Crockett Promotions hit hard times in the late 80s, was sold to Turner Broadcasting, and transformed into the company we came to know as World Championship Wrestling. To say the corporate culture at Turner had a hard time meshing with the old-school wrestling mentality of WCW would be an understatement, and by the time the 90s began, WCW was barely recognizable after morphing into a second-rate WWF knockoff. The revolving door of executives with no experience in (or mind for) the wrestling business did everything they could to try and emulate the entertainment aspects of the WWF, but as this book shows, the results were somewhat less than inspiring.Bonus features in this book -WCW In The Early 90 The Supporting Cast-The Five Biggest "Only In WCW" Moments Of The Early 90s

Good stories, terrible writing

The stories/content were really interesting but the writing and editorializing was atrocious. Plenty of spelling errors. Glad it was free

Unfortunately this isn't very good. It's a very brief look at WCW's many mistakes in the early 90's. This material has all been covered elsewhere, and to be honest, much better. At barely 80 pages there's no room for any in depth explanation of events so it's basically a summary of a few PPVs and a lot of shade thrown at Hulk Hogan. The book's littered with editing errors as well. At least it was on Kindle Unlimited.
