Titan Sinking: The decline of the WWF in 1995

Wrestling promotions rise and fall in cycles, and each swing reshapes how the company is run and what appears on screen. Through all those changes one figure stays in charge: Vince McMahon, a tough, hard-nosed operator who has come through every feud and rivalry he has faced. The year 1995 was the one when he came closest to defeat. This account goes behind the scenes of that turbulent twelve months, examining the setbacks and decisions that pushed the company to the edge of collapse.
