Financially Sound Creatively Bankrupt The Story of Wrestlings Monopoly Years are Retold in Wrestlings Sinking Ship Available Now



It's8217;s been over five years since World Championship Wrestling was sold to the (then) World Wrestling Federation, and in that time, the professional wrestling scene in the Western world has gone through a lot.

Wrestling's8217;s Sinking Ship: What Happens To An Industry Without Competition (ISBN: 1-4116-1210-5) recounts the stories from those five years, as fans of 's8220;sports entertainment's8221; watched all kinds of events unfolding in front of their eyes on their television screens every week.

Charting the highs and lows of the business in that time, Wrestling'ss Sinking Ship offers a unique look at the fall and rise of sports entertainment'ss most controversial characters. From necrophilia to exploitation, nostalgia to racism and a faked gay wedding!

's8220;With only one national promotion receiving mainstream attention, the public perception of WWE and the public perception of professional wrestling are, by and large, pretty much the same thing,'s8221; said Wrestling'ss Sinking Ship author Ian Hamilton. 's8220;With the emergence of independent promotions and the development of companies such as TNA, this has undoubtedly been a bad thing for them.'s8221;
