Publisher's note

A no-holds-barred personal account by the controversial former WCW president and WWE Raw General Manager describes how he was hired by Ted Turner to directly compete with the WWF, an assignment through which he recruited top talent and spearheaded the successes of Nitro before financial difficulties and Turner's purchase by Time-Warner eventually gave way to the WCW's takeover by Vince McMahon.

Annotation

In this sports entertainment memoir, Eric Bischoff, the former president of World Championship Wrestling, recalls his life on the edge, presenting key chapters in the history of the one-ring circus that is televised wrestling. Bischoff recalls his childhood in Detroit, the early days in the business, and how, as a savvy businessman and hated on-air personality, he helped make World Championship Wrestling the first choice of many fans. He also gets to retell anecdotes about the great stars he worked with, including Lex Luger and Hulk Hogan, and his legendary rivalry with Vince McMahon, another savvy businessman and hated on-air personality. Though Bischoff's show, RAW, and McMahon's show, Nitro, made Monday nights a fan's delight, and created cash for both, the WCW eventually ran into financial troubles and was bought up by McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment. Savvy businessman McMahon found a place for Bischoff in the franchise, after first tossing Bischoff into a dumpster on the air, and saying he was "taking out the trash."
