EDDIE GUERRERO COLLAPSE FULL
‘NITRO: The Incredible Rise and Inevitable Collapse of Ted Turner’s WCW’ – to give it its full title – largely eschews the muckraking and reductive pointing of fingers to give the true story of what was largely going on behind the scenes as Nitro took off into the stratosphere for a brief while, before crashing unceremoniously back down to Earth. It was a book that aimed to celebrate the absurdity in the downfall as much as anything else. Just like you didn’t need to even necessarily be a wrestling fan to find something moving about Mick Foley’s struggles to the top of the wrestling world, you didn’t need to have watched WCW to experience the guilty pleasure of reading about the ridiculous storylines, awful booking decisions, and mindless swerves that would lead to WCW’s demise in 2001. ‘The Death of WCW’ ranks alongside books like ‘Have A Nice Day’ in terms of the likelihood that a wrestling fan has read them. He also details his march toward the Heavyweight Championship, and his mastery of the WWE Triple Crown - a feat that placed him in an elite group for all time.īehind the Mask is the intimate portrait of one of wrestling's all-time greats, a story wrestling fans of all ages won't want to miss.Guy Evans takes us behind the curtain as ‘NITRO’ explores the rise and fall of WCW from a viewpoint that successfully merges the worlds of both wrestling and business in presenting the most complete exploration of what caused the death of the promotion. Mysterio talks tenderly - but realistically - of his friend Eddie Guerrero, providing a well-rounded picture of one of the most beloved wrestling figures of recent history. He also talks about the debts he owes to wrestlers such as Konnan, known as the Mexican Hulk Hogan, and dishes some behind-the-scenes dirt on the collapse of WCW at the height of the Monday Night Wars. Along the way, Mysterio introduces American audiences to the mysteries of lucha libre, the high-flying, anything-goes Mexican wrestling style that he has done so much to popularize in the U.S. He speaks of the emotional moments in the ring with his uncle Rey Misterio, and the dark days when he went under the knife to repair his damaged knee.
