Titan Sinking: The Decline of the WWF in 1995

De: James Dixon

Narrado por: Dean Ruple

Throughout the history of the WWF, there have been times of prosperity and times of hardship, cycles that shape the ethos of the company by forcing changes to its infrastructure and on-screen direction. The one constant throughout three decades of change is Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the stalwart puppet-master who captains the ship. Unflinching, thick-skinned, and domineering, McMahon has ultimately outlasted all of his competition and come out on top of every wrestling war he has waged.

In 1995, he very nearly lost.

Titan Sinking tells the tale of one of the most tumultuous, taxing and trying years in WWF history. Vince was reeling from a nightmare first half of the decade as the year commenced, but having seemingly steered the company through an image-shattering five years, he looked to rebuild his ailing brand and rediscover the magic formula that made his promotion such a juggernaut in the 80s. As each week passed, more and more problems behind the scenes began to unfold, plunging the WWF on the bring of crisis.

This audiobook gives the inside story of all of it: With detailed accounts of incidents from Syracuse to Montreal, from the Kliq to he BSKs, Vince's new hope, to his various creative flops and failures. Find out the real story of the year, and learn how 1995 brought WWF to the brink.

good insight

A very good insight. the narrator can be a little drawn out at times though

with everything in wrestling

need to take this book with a grain of salt doesn't always site surces or how they know things happened. also seems like they only interviewed like 4 people and 3 of them didn't like the kliq. take that for what you do

One of the better wrestling books

Truly one of the most informative box regarding to the era of 1995 WWE and how things were starting to fall apart. A great listen.

The best wrestling book on Audible

Titan Sinking is an epic wrestling book that chronicles the tumultuous year of 1995 for the Federation. The book takes you backstage for all the dirt and drama you’d expect from a book like this. At first I thought the book would be a WWF hit piece, but that’s not the case. This book can be very critical, however, it’s done based on evidence and what was going on at the time. The main wrestlers of this era, Bret, Shawn, Taker, Nash, Hall, HHH, and others are chronicled masterfully. Enjoy!

Just wish he'd pronounced the names properly....

Who is Sid Udi? Did he mean Sid Justice? Very good for fans of the Attitude Era as this was the chaos that forced it.

Excellent listen! Love it! A must listen!

Love this whole trilogy and some things said in this trilogy might not be totally true, it was still and awesome listen. Getting my money's worth almost everyday and listen before bed. 5 Stars.

Excellent Walk Down Memory Lane

Listening to this story was a great walk down memory lane. There were two aspects to this story for me, remembering watching WWF with my father on the couch, and learning about the behind the scenes activities at the height of when I was watching wresting. I could have assumed but didn't know how much drama, scandal, and politics were involved in wrestling. This was definitely eye opening as James Dixon is very knowledgeable and clearly details all the activities with great description. Dean Ruple did a great job with the narration. I really liked his voice and cadence and kept my interest throughout the book. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Lotta information!

Great to relax to. Lots of facts. A must have for any wrestling fan. So much drama backstage in the 90s!

Excellent!

Fantastic! I need Audio for titan shattered and screwed please! This was such an in depth listen, I’m really hoping for more in audio form.

Accessible for Casual Fans

As someone who fondly remembers the Monday night wars but has watched little since, this book painted a vivid and eye opening picture of the company and characters of the time. The author writes in such a way that the large cast of wrestlers never becomes overwhelming or confusing, which seems a great accomplishment. The narrator does an excellent job presenting everything in a fashion that does not intrude, but still brings life to the people involved.
I highly recommend this book, and will look for work from the author and narrator in the future. Full Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
