Wcw: The Atlernate Timeline - Saving Wcw in 1999

Very well thought through and planned, with a credible means of saving WCW from itself. Only issue I foresee is that Hogan will likely exercise creative control once it becomes apparent that he is being phased out. 2 ways to deal with this for me- You sit him down when you take over and explain that the first time he tries to use it he will be sent home and left to rot for the rest of his contract, with no film projects etc, and you'll look to cut PPV %s and bonuses as he isn't involved; or you keep Tank Abbott purely to enforce your will on Hogan and Steiner, with the threat of either a very stiff match or run-in if they try to go off-script.All in all, very entertaining, and a bit sad, showing how easily things could've been saved, but weren't.

A fascinating in-depth analysis of what could and should have been done to save WCW from self-destruction.If you are interested in what goes around backstage and by the business and financial aspect of pro wrestling you must buy this eBook.It's only one buck so you must read it!I will most likely get the two other wrestling eBooks by the same author.

There has been a lot of talk about WCW and why it went out of business. This book, even if in some pages sounds a little bit obvious (things aleady heard and written), in some other develops very interesting point and views that deserves to be read. Generally, it was a very nice reading

The concept is a good idea however the actual quality of the book is poor.Text looks as if it's simply a print out from a home printer and the book itself is riddled with spelling mistakes.If you're going to write a book about wrestlers then at least learn to spell their names correctly!

As a wrestling fan, one of the saddest events in the Monday Night Wars was the end of WCW. Despite the last few years being pretty awful, WCW always had the potential to be competition for the then WWF. The author has many good ideas to historically save the company but sometimes it comes off as a bit much. And some chapters go into much detail that it almost brings any momentum in reading to a halt. For example, much of his plan involves technical jargon about financial plans about certain wrestlers but instead of keeping it more about the wrestler he tends to monotonously discuss money at length. In the world of wrestling, it's about entertainment so the author should have focused on discussing specifics on characters his plan would revolve around. By keeping casual readers hooked by talking about WCW characters, I believe this book would've been more relatable to fans who loved the company.Just from an accuracy standpoint, there are a few typos with grammar. One that aggravated me to no end was "currant" when it's "current". That's a very simple grammatical error but one which the author repeatedly makes and it's a pet peeve of mine that when reading a book, you have to get grammar correct for me as a reader to take you and your book seriously. So for content and intent alone, I rate this book as 3 out of 5. Had the author thrown in some humor, concise points, & actually used correct grammar perhaps my score would've been higher.
