Hyper detailed and ultra poorly laid out on the page. Follows just what the title says. I remember most of the people who are mentioned in it so it's relatively easy story to follow unlike the previously read "Death of the Territories." It's essentially the Eric Bischoff story with some bits about Ted Turner, DDP and Goldberg. Besides the horrid presentation of the type within the book is that there was not enough pages devoted to Awesome Mike Awesome, Eddie Guerrero or Ultimo Dragon. Fuck, Awesome Mike Awesome was ... awesome. RI frickin' P.

Some odd formatting and editing - specifically the frequent italics and paragraph spacing, plus the fact that on a couple occasions sentences or even whole paragraphs get re-used word for word.
That being said, one of the better wrestling books out there. As a more serious and neutral in tone counterpart to "Death of WCW," (which I also love) it's pretty invaluable. A little more dry than a lot of wrestling books but I actually see that as more of an asset than an hindrance.

Thorough
Barring a few repeated quotes and some typographical errors, this was a great look at the "other side" of wrestling's infamous Monday Night Wars, detailing the rise and subsequent downfall of the losing side. A must read for any fan of the business!
