About this title: Under Eric Bishoff's watch as president of WCW, the company went head to head with Vince McMahon's WWE and beat them at their own game before WCW itself spectacularly imploded. But by then, Bishoff had made an indelible mark on televised wrestling, producing shows that had appeared more dangerous, more sexy, and more edgy than anything that had come before.

"An interesting look inside the world of professional wrestling by a real insider. Choppy, but with enough interesting stories for a wrestling fan to enjoy with some real interesting information on some of the wrestlers, especially Hulk Hogan."
"One of the more polarizing figures in recent wrestling history...it was nice to hear the viewpoint of the guy a lot of people really point to as "The Bad Guy" in the 90's wrestling war, though he seems to want you to believe a lot of what went on was out of his control.
Possibly useful as a manual on "how not to manage."
Writing/ghostwriting was choppy, and badly put together. Ended up skimming the majority of the book."
"Excellent book on a subject that I have loved since my early childhood. Great incite into the behind the scenes area of the world of professional wrestling!
He has a no holds barred way of writing and I can appreciate that a lot. If you want to know about what WCW was inside and out, this is the book to read."
"The story of WCW is fascinating, but in the end Bischoff is just too set in his ways. The title of the book sums up his approach, but you get the impression he's just not the most intellectual person in the wrestling world. The crumbling of WCW is interesting, though."
