World Championship Wrestling was established as a company in 1988 after Ted Turner bought the territory from Jim Crockett. Power changed hands constantly, from Jim Herd to Kip Frey to Bill Watts before finally falling into Eric Bischoff's hands. He was able to get a primetime timeslot on Turner's TNT channel and the Monday Night War - perhaps the greatest period in the history of wrestling - had begun. After signing a load of former and current WWF stars (such as Hulk Hogan) and creating the New World Order (nWo), WCW gained the edge in the Monday Night War... but would they be able to keep it?

The Death of WCW is a look back at a wrestling promotion that had everything going for it, yet ended up falling apart in the end. You'll find out how WCW became the biggest wrestling promotion ever and when and why the downhill slide started which ended up engulfing the company. While the authors give their own opinion as to who it was who killed WCW (was it Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash or Vince Russo?), you are presented with enough information to generate your own opinion. It uses a combination of humour and hard facts to make its points. There are some great stories of incompetence which in many cases will have you shaking your head and others that will have you bursting into laughter. There's also a lot about the backstage politics which were commonplace. The book focuses on the Monday Night Wars, which was the most important period of the company's existance.

While every hardcore wrestling fan should read this book, there are a lot of lessons to be learned from what happened back around 1998-2001 that hopefully the people in charge now can pick up on. The humour in the book is much needed, as it is a truly depressing story the more you think about it. A once great company was burnt to a crisp. Then the ashes were pissed on. Make sure you read The Death of WCW and hope that this never happens again.

Bruiser Brody is known as one of the greatest brawlers in the history of wrestling. The Best Brawler award in the year-end Wrestling Observer Awards bears his name. He was so great at what he did that people may have thought that the majority of what went on in the square circle was "fake," but when Brody was in the ring, it was all too real. He went from territory to territory, the epitome of a journeyman and did whatever he could to make the most amount of money possible. To Brody (or Frank Goodish), the pro-wrestling business was infact a business. Unfortunately, this philosophy is what cost Bruiser Brody his life.

Brody was written by Goodish's widow, Barbara alongside his close friend Larry Matysik. It covers his early life, football career and how he got started in wrestling. It follows him through such places as St. Louis, Central States, Florida, the AWA and World Class. It explains how he became a legend in Japan and his tragic murder in Puerto Rico. It also details how he became the highest paid wrestler in the world at one point. The authors include quotes from wrestling legends such as Bruno Sammartino, Abdullah the Butcher, Terry Funk, Dory Funk, Jr., Jim Duggan, Carlos Colon and Harley Race, as well as Jim Ross and Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer to help flesh the story out.

There are stories in Brody that will make you laugh, cry and even get you angry at the fate of the wrestling wildman and the lack of justice that followed. This is a book for anyone who used to watch Bruiser Brody when he came through their territory, or anyone who has since watched tapes of him. It's also for those who have heard the name Bruiser Brody and don't know that much about him, but are intrigued about the chain-swinging madman.
