About this listen

Throughout the history of the WWF, there have been times of prosperity and times of hardship, cycles that shape the ethos of the company by forcing changes to its infrastructure and on-screen direction. The one constant throughout three decades of change is Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the stalwart puppet-master who captains the ship. Unflinching, thick-skinned, and domineering, McMahon has ultimately outlasted all of his competition and come out on top of every wrestling war he has waged.

In 1995, he very nearly lost.

Titan Sinking tells the tale of one of the most tumultuous, taxing and trying years in WWF history. Vince was reeling from a nightmare first half of the decade as the year commenced, but having seemingly steered the company through an image-shattering five years, he looked to rebuild his ailing brand and rediscover the magic formula that made his promotion such a juggernaut in the 80s. As each week passed, more and more problems behind the scenes began to unfold, plunging the WWF on the bring of crisis.

This audiobook gives the inside story of all of it: With detailed accounts of incidents from Syracuse to Montreal, from the Kliq to he BSKs, Vince's new hope, to his various creative flops and failures. Find out the real story of the year, and learn how 1995 brought WWF to the brink.

It's great

This book takes the Feel, of the Then, WWF.
Delves deep into the world pre-Attitude Era WWF and lifts the lid of the backstage and the inside track from Shawn Michael's drinking and "fight with 6 Marines" which turned out to be 1 Sgt US army and the aftermath.
It touches on Brett Hart and Hogan.
It delves into the national and international rollout of the WWF and how it killed the territories but also where to get fresh young but experienced talent. During the 1990's when the last territories folded up and either sold to WWF or WCW both companies lost the places the buys learned the furness of pro-wrestling.
The money troubles the WWF was I. The 1990's particularly during the Monday Night wars.
Its left me wanting to read the next 2 book in the Titan trilogy.

A good work of fiction

While the book itself told a good story, it is very much written from a slanted point of view with much embellishment and is far from the textbook account I was hoping for. The narration of the book was excellent, and it can be enjoyed as a story, but it is far from historically accurate and should not be seen as a definitive guide to the time period in wrestling.

Better podcasts for free

This book is great if your interested in this subject but, there are many podcasts for free which go into much greater detail and are coming from the horse's mouth. instead of this I would listen to something to wrestle with Bruce Prichard and especially OSW review. Both are a much more entertaining and accurate listen. That being said this book is far from the worst wrestling book on the market and is a fairly good insight into 1995.
