  • SPECIAL UPDATE: THE HULK HOGAN STORY
    JUST LAUNCHED ON KICKSTARTER: THE HULK HOGAN STORY! On the morning of July 24, 2025, the most famous professional wrestler in history – Terry 'Hulk Hogan' Bollea – passed away in Clearwater, Florida. Within days, I started to receive correspondence from readers who asked if I would consider writing a biography on the 'Immortal One' himself. This was somewhat serendipitous because without much fanfare, I had already initiated such a project! In the wake of Bollea's death, however, it became clear to me that my untitled book – tentatively known as The Hulk Hogan Story – couldn't be adequately confined to a single volume. It is thus now my intention to develop a biographical trilogy on this most important subject – the first of its kind in the genre. That's right...three full-length books on the life, career and unparalleled cultural impact of Hulk Hogan! This groundbreaking series of books will be informed by over 100 exclusive interviews – not to mention the comprehensive research for which my books are already known. The final work will be available in paperback, audiobook and e-book formats, with a special hardcover edition – never again to be reprinted (!) – offered as a 'Kickstarter Exclusive' reward. Your pledges will support the substantial research, printing, shipping and other direct costs that are required in launching a project of this scope. Pledges of $30 or more allow backers to pre-order the books at a discounted rate (and unlock exclusive extras)! So what are you gonna do...when The Hulk Hogan Story runs wild on you?

  • BEYOND NITRO: The Audio Book is now available!
    BEYOND NITRO: Untold Stories from the WCW era...is now available in AUDIO format! Order NOW -> https://guyevansbooks.com/products/beyond-nitro-untold-stories-from-the-wcw-era-audiobook Synopsis Bestselling author Guy Evans ('NITRO') returns with a monumental 680-page volume on World Championship Wrestling, bringing to light scores of revelatory insights in the process. Informed by over 100 new interviews, hundreds of internal company documents, confidential corporate materials, and never-before-seen financial records, BEYOND NITRO goes to places that no pro wrestling book has! BEYOND NITRO is divided into three parts, as outlined below: Part 1: Untold Stories – a series of engrossing personal profiles of people with a unique connection to WCW; Part 2: Where The Big Boys Played – an examination of various aspects of the WCW story which often escape introspection, such as the byzantine nature of its corporate accounting system, the company's historical Southern lineage, and the impact of its pioneering production team; Part 3: A Wrestling Odyssey – a look at some of the changes which occurred in the wrestling business post-WCW, including a noticeable change to the mainstream wrestling style, the proliferation of what is sometimes called 'the wrestling bubble', and the phenomenon of WCW experiencing a 'second life' through the waves of '90s nostalgia. To supplement this rather weighty structure – and to break up the presentation more generally – six 'interlude' chapters are included of various lengths, ranging from incredibly detailed (e.g., 'Spiked!') to relatively direct in scope (e.g., 'Don't Touch That Dial'). In all cases, these 'interludes' relate to a theme (or set of themes) explored in the preceding chapter. In the process, the book is able to delve into some thrilling uncharted waters, relative to the world of late '90s WWF - and even TNA during the 2010s. BEYOND NITRO features exclusive interviews and comments from: Eric Bischoff, fmr. WCW President; Stuart Snyder, fmr. WWF President & COO; Keith Mitchell, legendary fmr. WCCW, WCW, TNA and AEW producer; Kevin Sullivan, fmr. WCW head booker and wrestler; Jerry Jarrett, legendary wrestling promoter and booker; Kevin Kay, fmr. President of Spike Television; David Schwarz, fmr. Senior Vice President of Communications at Spike TV; Scott Fishman, Executive in Charge of Production at Spike TV; Eric Fleischer, fmr. Sr. Director of Consumer Insights, WWE; Christine Lawrence, fmr. Senior Director of Media Insights and Analytics, WWE; Michael Capretta, fmr. VP of Global Research and Insights, Warner Bros. Discovery; David Sahadi, fmr. Creative Director, WWE; Sami Callihan, fmr. Impact World Champion; Lash LeRoux, fmr. WCW wrestler; Scott Hudson, fmr. WCW announcer; Neal Pruitt, fmr. WCW feature producer and 'voice of the nWo'; Dick Cheatham, fmr. group controller for TBS; Jenni Sloan, designer of the nWo logo... And many, many, many more! Informed by the same attention to facts, research, analysis, drama and detail which made NITRO a bestseller, Beyond NITRO is finally here. It's a simply sensational sequel!
