Description
The National Wrestling Alliance: A Story of Monopoly and Corruption In the 1950s, a powerful business conglomerate dominated a lucrative sports industry, hiding its illicit practices from the authorities until caught. This conglomerate, which included influential figures from the National Wrestling Alliance, had a profound impact on professional wrestling, prioritizing profits over fair competition. This book examines the NWA's success, its relationships with politicians and writers, and the ways in which promoters used underhanded tactics to maintain their power. The National Wrestling Alliance's rise to prominence is a fascinating and complex story, spanning over 50 years and involving key players in politics and entertainment. From its humble beginnings in the Midwest after World War II, the NWA expanded globally, but its success was built on a foundation of corruption and deceit. This book sheds light on the inner workings of the NWA, revealing the secrets and conspiracies that have long been hidden from the public eye. With its unique blend of sports history and investigative journalism, this book offers a fresh perspective on the world of professional wrestling.
