Reviews
"A hell of a read...some incredible stuff on [Hulk] Hogan, being a son and father, aging, Vince McMahon and more. Well worth checking out...[a] truly enjoyable and emotional book."
--Mike Johnson, PWInsider "Bischoff's take on his [2019 WWE return], the reality of what he was in charge of versus what was reported at the time, is valuable knowledge to take away from the book...[furthermore], the bonus content makes the book more than worth the price."

The very idea of a similar scene occurring elsewhere - prior to an episode of WWE's Monday Night Raw, for example - makes my smile even wider. One thing is for sure - the contrast between the two worlds is fascinating. This small venue - likely one of the more, ahem, affordable settings that the Destiny Wrestling Organization could get a hold of - doesn't have any of the trappings of a major arena. In fact, it's situated in an area that would never be confused with other, more affluent parts of town - and that's being kind.
