Death of WCW is a must read.
I hope Vinnie Mac bought a few hundred copies of the book to be given to WWE employees and maybe he might not repeat what killed WCW. The Death of WCW is the best wrestling book I’ve read lately even though it is still hard to remember that WCW was once the number one wrestling promotion in the world. And they say “wrestling is fake”.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great read but biased book
