Why read it?

1 author picked Say Hello to the Bad Guys as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The author provides a nice chronological story of how the NWO rose to stardom and then fizzled out, as most things do in wrestling. The story of the NWO logo creation was a great peek-behind-the-curtain, as were the parts on the WWE/WCW legal trademark battles on characters and their catchphrases.

From Joshua's list on pro wrestling from a super fan.
