My expectations for this book were high when I first purchased it, but I did so when purchasing Mr. Hall's Starrcade review at the same time. I read Starrcade first and was some what disappointed in the fact that Mr. Hall was not familiar with the product and the wrestlers from the early to mid-80's, so therefore my expectations of this book were lowered before I opened it.
I was happily surprised by the fact that he was much more familiar with the product this time around, but it was kind of dry and even the inserted opinions failed to entertain on the level of what I read in the RAW Files. With that said, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the early years of Monday Nitro prior to the formation of the NWO.
I remember watching WCW Monday Nitro during this time, and maybe because consistent main event matches on weekly TV was something new, I rather enjoyed the program (especially compared to RAW before DX and Austin). I do agree with the point that looking back you could see it was a Hogan ego trip, the same way you can now look back at JCP from the mid-80's and say the same thing about Big Dust.
This is not something that you can sit down and read straight through, but in short spurts, reading in an episodic way, it can be maintain your interest level.
