New E-Book: KB’s History of Monday Nitro Volume II
We’re going back to the 90s again for a look at the second full year of Monday Nitro. 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.
The books runs over 400 pages on a Kindle and only costs $3.99, or the equivalent in other currencies. If you don’t have a Kindle or e-book reader, there are several FREE apps you can use to read it on pretty much any electronic device. You can find those from Amazon here.
Or if you’re in another country with its own Amazon page, just search KB History of Monday Nitro and my books will be the first things that pop up.
Also you can still get any of my previous books on the WWE Championship, Monday Night Raw from 1998 and 2001, Monday Nitro from 1995-96, In Your House, Summerslam, Starrcade, ECW Pay Per Views and Clash of the Champions at my author’s page here.
I hope you like it and shoot me any questions you might have.

New Column: It Shouldn’t Be Cena
Looking at the upcoming rematch and why it’s a few months early.
This is something we’re starting up again and I’ll be at the helm.
Basically we’ve taken 64 of the best tag teams of all time and put them in a seeded bracket. There will be 8 matches set up a day (the first batch will be released later today) for four days for the first round. We run a singles version every spring to coincide with Wrestlemania and now we’re trying the tag version again.
You all should join in on this as it’s going to be fun and a good way to learn about some teams you might not have heard much about before. If you’ve never been to WrestleZone’s Forums (which are completely different from the nitwits on their main page), you should check them out and join to participate in the tournament. The regular version is one of our biggest events of the year and this one will be fun too. Check it out and look for the first matches tonight.
