The destruction of Eric Bischoff's reign in charge of World Championship Wrestling is brutally laid bare in The Death Of WCW. Penned by the fine folks who present Wrestlecrap, the book has been lambasted by the likes of Bischoff, Vince Russo and Kevin Nash time and time again. In truth, that only makes it more alluring for those who haven't yet read it. Despite the title, there are moments of positivity in the book. WCW (and Bischoff) are rightly credited for pulling themselves up by the boot straps and realising what was going wrong with the company. In the mid-1990's, Bischoff managed to turn the ship around, and that is recognised. It's what comes in later chapters that people really want to read about however. Simply put, people would buy this book to revel in fascination over the myriad of poor decision-making prevalent in WCW. Towards the end of the promotion's run, there was so much rubbish being hurled the way of fans that it's surprising the group even had people coming to shows. The Death Of WCW presents both the good, the bad and the downright ugly of the long-lost organisation.
