Product Description
Synopsis
ECW was the upstart promotion which revolutionised the wrestling industry. Turning The Tables is the first published history of the company which grew from a run-down bingo hall to become a national pay-per-view competitor...then crashed in a sea of debt. John Lister (author of Slamthology) gives an independent, objective and informative account that reveals hidden secrets and shatters common myths. From a little-known truth about ECW's most famous feud to a blow-by-blow account of what really happened in Revere, this book will give you the true story behind America's most controversial wrestling group.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good insight in the crazy world that was ECW, 24 Nov 2005
Having read The author's other book on wrestling, slamthology, was very happy to see he'd wrote another book on probably my fave wrestling group ever, ECW. The fact it was wrote by someone who had made trips to the states to see ECW live during the company's existence also sold me on the idea of buying it. Covers ECW from before its existence, to the early days, right through to the last show. I thought I knew a lot about the history of the company, but there was a hell of a lot of stuff I had no clue about in this book. Its took me roughly 3 nights and a couple of afternoons to read through the book, normally its takes me a LOT longer, but it kept my attention from start to finish. If you ever watched ECW, or are just a fan of pro wrestling, read this book. You wont be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide to the history of ECW, 27 Dec 2005
Trying to document the story of a promotion which had so much impact on professional wrestling was always going to be a daunting task, but Lister has done an excellent job.

This is an enjoyable read with statistics and memories aplently. I would strongly recommend this book to old ECW fans and new wrestling fans alike. Like it or not, ECW was a promotion which lead the way in the 90s
