ECW was one extreme contradiction piled on top of another. It was an incredibly influential company in the world of professional wrestling during the 1990s, yet it was never profitable. It portrayed itself as the ultimate in anti-authority rebellion, but its leadership was, at various points, working covertly with the two wrestling giants, the World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling. Most of all, it blurred the line between real life and the fantasy world of professional wrestling like no other company before it.

A mesmerizing, behind-the-scenes business thriller that chronicles how Sega, a small, scrappy gaming company led by an unlikely visionary and a team of rebels, took on the juggernaut Nintendo and revolutionized the video-game industry. In 1990, Nintendo had a virtual monopoly on the video-game industry. Sega, on the other hand, was just a faltering arcade company with big aspirations and even bigger personalities. But all that would change with the arrival of Tom Kalinske, a former Mattel executive who knew nothing about video games and everything about fighting uphill battles.

But take a second look at Kevin Smith: He changed filmmaking forever when he was twenty-four with the release of Clerks, and since then has gone on to make nine more profitable movies, runs his own production company, wrote a best-selling graphic novel, and has a beautiful wife and kids. So he must be doing something right.

Hysterical and Witty
This sequel to Damn why did I write this book was hilarious. I love all of the insight that JTG provides about the wrestling industry. He finds a way to tell stories of moments gone wrong in his life and spin it into a positive with comedy. I especially liked when JTG would ask himself a question, and add his internal monologue as another character to the story. I for one hope he continues writing more books. Definitely with every penny spent on the download!

Damn! Why Didn't I Get This Sooner?
If you could sum up Damn! Why Did I Write This Book Too? in three words, what would they be?
Hilarious, Insightful, Entertaining
What was one of the most memorable moments of Damn! Why Did I Write This Book Too??
Any anecdotes for touring overseas were great.
What does JTG bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Having JTG narrate his own book helped bring a level of personal knowledge to the stories he told, you could tell he was reliving those moments as he read them and I feel that anyone else narrating the book would have made it have a less impact.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The title is great enough, why ruin it with a tag line?
Any additional comments?
I really hope there is a third book in the works, most Professional Wrestlers (i.e Sports Entertainers) don't really talk about "heat" and what really goes on behind the scenes at WWE so it's refreshing to have a book that doesn't pander to the company.

Highly entertaining
A very entertaining collection of stories. Definitely an eye opener about life in the WWE.
JTG makes the stories fun with his delivery. He could do with slowing down as some sections seem rushed and its hard to tell where the paragraph ended. Also he pronounces "Pause" instead of just pausing which is weird. Overall this is a good value listen that will be fun for any wrestling fan.
