Book Review: Contreversy Creates Cash

Filed under: Wrestling

Sorry for the delay folks but my myspace page was really starting to take off in the last month so I got busy with that but as I promised, I am doing another review on a very good book that has been out for sometime but if you have not gotten it yet I highly suggest that you do. This was a well written book by Eric Biscoff and he does not hold back in this almost 400 page book. He tells of his days growing up in a bad side of Detroit then moving to a good neighborhood in Pittsburgh and living close to the legendary Bruno Sammartino to moving to Minnesota and falling in love with the AWA wrestling show. He tells of his start as a marketing guy for the AWA and progressively made his way up the ranks to being called by the WCW offices. He describes how much of a challenge it was to turn WCW around and have to deal with the corporate suits in the CCN center that wanted to see WCW fail. He does brag of how he brought WCW to its graetest heights and its shameful downfall. His book also goes into detail of how he tried buying WCW only to have it be bought out by the WWE and then talks about his present life and his new career in the WWE. I will tell you this, after reading his book I look at WCW in a whole new light and I now give them more credit for the things that they accomplished and I was never a big fan of WCW. He covers so many topics in this book that I good sit here all night writing about them but I dont want to give too much away. It is a must read and a very good book.

Also a couple of notes: Like I said I have a myspace page now and the address is www.myspace.com/scottswrestlingworld and I am looking for more friends so if you have one, please become a friend of mine on myspace. Also on there is my 2nd interview and my 1st video interview with WWE hall of famer and tag team legend “Handsome” Jimmy Valiant. He has alot of fans out there and I want to thank WWWA’s voice Jack Taylor for setting it up.
