Controversy Creates Cash - Eric Bischoff's book

Finished it the other day and I've got to say it's a really interesting read. It gives a full in depth insight into the politics of WCW and the Monday Night Wars. Bischoff explains how and why the company ultimately collapsed and how his attempts to buy the company were more or less shrugged off by people above him.

It's a lot different to HBK's book "Heartbreak and Triumph" as this is about a wrestling promoter who basically made wrestling the edgy product it is today. HBK follows the career of a wrestler, so it's good to have read both and see both a wrestler and a promoter's side of the business.

Highly recommended, especially for those of us who watched WCW.

8.75/10

weres Bischy he will like this book lol

Actually I'm a SHE tyvm. And I have that book, actually am on my second copy of it. First copy I bought was a paperback, carried it around in my messenger bag at college with me and on my many road trips for a couple semesters, it got pretty beat up and fell apart, so I had to go out and get the hardback version just recently.

I loved WCW, always watched Monday Nitro instead of Raw, so I'm terribly biased, but it is a good read. After reading it I've got lots more respect for wrestling promoters in general, and Bischoff in particular. I'd recommend this book for anyone who's interested in the business end of the wrestling business.

Yeah, it's pretty good. A little misleading in places, but then this is a book written by a wrestling promoter. Bischoff's a smart guy, and it's interesting to get his take on things.
