What's weird about being the most hated man in an industry where public ire is money in the bank? Vince Russo wasn't even a wrestler -- he just wrote the stuff. Forgiven is the book that every wrestling fan has been waiting for. As lead writer, he took WF's flagship show Monday Night Raw to unimaginable heights, making it the highest rated cable program in television history. The stories of Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and the tragic death of Owen Hart are offered from Vince Russo's perspective: he was part of it all, writing it all. Here, Russo finally comes clean -- to the fans, and more importantly, with himself. Russo offers his life, work, and very soul as a modern day parable about the price of success. In heartbreaking detail, he shows how a godforsaken business and the desire for acclaim led him, unwittingly, into a spiritual wasteland. Ultimately, Russo's story is one of redemption as he finds guidance and forgiveness in God.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49564084011281,"sku":"CIN1550227041G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49888992821521,"sku":"GOR006314163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49890942386449,"sku":"GOR004037605","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51596042862865,"sku":"CIN1550227041VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1550227041.jpg?v=1751407121"},{"product_id":"rope-opera-book-vince-russo-9781550228687","title":"Rope Opera","description":"Many have tried to explain the inner workings of wrestling's most turbulent era, but this is the first time someone in the centre of the maelstrom has laid everything bare. Taking readers from the death of WCW to the rise of TNA - the world's fastest growing and most cutting-edge wrestling promotion - Vince has crafted a remarkable storyline about how he came to terms with, and found peace within, the insanity of the squared circle.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49986868936977,"sku":"CIN1550228684G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50556833825041,"sku":"GOR002723420","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1550228684.jpg?v=1750991276"},{"product_id":"total-nonstop-agony-book-vince-russo-9781770418462","title":"TOTAL NONSTOP AGONY","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe most controversial man in professional wrestling tells all in the story of the upstart TNA with stories that will make your jaw drop.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Vince Russo, known as the most successful writer in the history of professional wrestling, brought the World Wrestling Federation to its greatest success during the Attitude Era, creating a brand of wrestling that brought the industry to record heights. Three decades later, Russo is still talked about as one of the most influential men in the industry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Following the success of his first two books, \u003ci\u003eForgiven\u003c\/i\u003e (covering his years with Vince McMahon's WWE) and \u003ci\u003eRope Opera: How WCW Killed Vince Russo\u003c\/i\u003e (his time with Ted Turner's rival), \u003ci\u003eTOTAL NONSTOP AGONY: The Rise and Fall of TNA\u003c\/i\u003e picks up Russo's story as he begins work with the upstart TNA, where the daily drama proved greater than ever. The storylines here feature an indecisive millionaire southern belle, Dixie Carter, who cared more about her image then her wrestling company; the demise of his friendship with his best friend, Wrestling Superstar Jeff Jarrett; the network executives at Spike TV, who understood very little about the business they were in; and the return of his mortal enemies from WCW, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Russo's TNA stories are epic, and many have never been told before. The politics, runaway egos, backstabbing, and underhandedness make the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills look like Little Women. Finally, the time has come to discuss TNA: this is the tell-all that no one has ever dared, and no one can tell the story better than Vince Russo.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53394500878609,"sku":"NGR9781770418462","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53702720487697,"sku":"NIN9781770418462","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-vince-russo.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
