About this listen

What went wrong with WCW?

In 1997, World Championship Wrestling was on top. It was the number-one pro wrestling company in the world, and the highest-rated show on cable television. Each week, fans tuned in to Monday Nitro, flocked to sold-out arenas, and carried home truckloads of WCW merchandise. Sting, Bill Goldberg, and the New World Order were household names. Superstars like Dennis Rodman and KISS jumped on the WCW bandwagon. It seemed the company could do no wrong.

But by 2001, however, everything had bottomed out. The company - having lost a whopping 95% of its audience - was sold for next to nothing to Vince McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment. WCW was laid to rest.

How could the company lose its audience so quickly? Who was responsible for shows so horrible that fans fled in horror? What the hell happened to cause the death of one of the largest wrestling companies in the world? The Death of World Championship Wrestling is the first book to take listeners through a detailed dissection of WCW's downfall.

A really interesting story and must read for any business person, slightly spoiled by the use of terms like Buy Rating which even google didn’t know and a bit jumbled at the beginning. If only they had explained what all the numbers meant it would have had a bit more meaning but apart from that a well executed performance

Good Business Story

Only an hour through but what an awesome listen & Bryan's delivery is awesome. I really am a fan of his work, I like how much detail is including even down to results of key shows. I would love to hear more audio books from Bryan

Awesome
