Pro Wrestling Through The Power Slam Years: 1994-2014 is dedicated to the history of pro wrestling during that period. This is new content, by the way: it is not a collection of articles published in Power Slam.
All the major wrestling stories of the era are reviewed and analysed in the eBook, from a retrospective viewpoint. Such as:
The McMahon steroid trial of 1994 and its ramifications on the industry. The Japanese wrestling boom of the early 1990s, and its impact on wrestling in the West. ECW’s oasis of creativity under Paul Heyman from 1994-1996. The ascension of WCW, fuelled by the implementation of Monday Nitro and fresh concepts and talent from 1995-1996. The WWF’s acceptance in 1997 that it had to reinvent itself in order to catch WCW, and the creative and commercial swell which followed.
The decline of WCW and its attempts at reinvention before its financial losses spiraled out of control and it was purchased by the WWF’s parent company in 2001. ECW’s inability to swim as a national entity and closure in 2001. The peaks and troughs of the invasion angle in 2001. The launch of Ring Of Honor and NWA: TNA in 2002. Hulk Hogan’s comebacks in the WWF/WWE from 2002 onwards. The bust-ups between Steve Austin and WWE.
The Plane Ride From Hell. The coronation of Batista by HHH. The John Cena era. The Benoit tragedy. The fall and rise of New Japan. WWE’s part-timer dependency, post-2011. The breath of fresh air that is NXT. The challenges posed by the WWE Network — and so much more.
The eBook includes the full story behind Power Slam magazine and its predecessor Superstars Of Wrestling. Why the magazine changed its name in 1994, how it nearly went under in 1997, and the details behind my decision to finally close the magazine in July 2014, 20 years to the month after the first issue of Power Slam went on sale.
This is an eBook release only, priced at £6.49.
