Product Description

Product Description

In 2001, the professional wrestling scene in the western world changed almost overnight. From three major promotions at the start of the year, just one remained by the start of April, ending more than a decade of competition. But success breeds complacency, and the five years since World Wrestling Entertainment stood triumphant over its rivals has seen unprecedented shifts in wrestling. Charting the highs and lows of the business in that time, Wrestling's Sinking Ship offers a unique look at the fall and rise of sports entertainment's most controversial characters. From necrophilia to exploitation, nostalgia to racism...oh, and don't forget that fake gay wedding!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read, 4 Sep 2006
By Adam Clarke (Halesowen, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A very well written, thought provoking book by Ian Hamilton, it lists all the major problems with the wrestling industry over the past 5 years. With the lack of competition within the wrestling industry, the quality of wrestling has decreased, while the quantity keeps rising.

This book is well worth the money for any wrestling fan past or present!
