Book Review, Controversy Creates Cash

I am starting a monthly review of different wrestling books, I own well over 100 so I will have enough to go on with for a little while, my first is Eric Bischoffs book Controversy Creates Cash.

This book starts with Eric being backstage about to appear on RAW as its general manager, it discuss the secrecy that occured to make this happen. It then gives us a bit of backround on Eric growing up and family life. It moves on through Erics time at Vince Garnes organisation and getting a job a WCW as a third string announcer, then Erics amazing rise up the ranks until he is running the whole show. The NWO is covered in great detail and then the fall of WCW.

The book is quite good but I feel that Bischoff does not accept any responsibility for the downfall of the company, just takes the credit for the good bits. Obviously the WCW was scrapped by its parent company which he had no control over, but if it had not been in such a downward spiral and was still making money, then maybe it would still be here today! It is interested to hear what changes he made to company and which of those changes the WWF started using, whatever you think of Bischoff he is a very important figure in the history of professional wrestling and this book does mention the good things he has done.

Overall I would give this book a 7/10 rating.
If you are interested in any book or would like some information on them before you buy them just let me know and if I have read it I will tell you whether it is worth parting with you cash for!
