This was a very interesting read and a unique look at what it takes to run a national wrestling company behind the scenes.
A lot of the stuff about the Monday Night Wars I've heard a million times before from different sources but it's good to hear it from the horses mouth although you should always take anything Bischoff says with a pinch of salt.

I really enjoyed this book, much more than I thought I would. Most people probably wouldn't expect that I'm a wrestling fan, but I have been since about 8th grade. Yes, I know it's "fake" but I find it comical and like the big characters that are created in wrestling.

This books tells a lot about the "behind the scenes" action that takes place in wrestling. It also talks a lot about what was needed to make the WCW such a big wrestling fan. I'm always interested in marketing and promotion, so this was an added bonus for me. It's an easy read, but one that kept me entertained.

It does assume that you know a fair amount about the WCW and WWE, so if you don't watch wrestling, it's probably not for you.
