ECW Book

[The Decemberists]

Just seen on PuroresuPower.com that...

 

Ivan Trembow reports that WWE is working with author Thom Loverro to produce a new book on ECW called "The Rise and Fall of ECW." What makes this interesting is that there have been rumblings of an independently-produced (non-WWE) ECW book coming out in the works. It appears that much like Hardcore Homecoming and One Night Stand (two shows that competed with each other), we'll have two different ECW books shortly.

 

Here is where they've got the report from.

 

 

Will be very interesting to see how each of the books deal with the responsibility of Vince and the WWF for the decline of ECW.

Shouldn't Paul Heyman really be the author of this?

if you want 250 pages of Anti-Bischoff ranting, then give Heyman the pen.

*Recalls an anti-Bischoff comment from Heyman on one of ECW's old hotline ads*

 

Heyman:"Hey Bischoff, FUCK YOU!"

While I'd probably end up buying it, I am ECW'd out right now

Just a guess, but an ECW book from the WWE will probalby end up being with some revisionist history.
