Johnson had the following to say regarding the series:

“The iconic rise and fall of WCW is one of professional wrestling’s most captivating stories – full of big dreams, massive successes, painful failures, and the harsh realities of the pro wrestling business. With wrestling viewership and fan engagement at an ultimate high, there has never been a more perfect time to tell top-quality wrestling stories, and there’s no better one to start with than a one-of-a-kind, behind-the-scenes look at this epic saga, known as The Rise and Fall of WCW and personally, the rise of WCW, not the fall, inspired me greatly early in my career where I would eventually become, the Final Boss.”

 

Editor’s Opinion:

The history of WCW has fascinated me ever since I became a wrestling fan. I grew up during the Monday Night Wars and would tune into Nitro and Thunder every week to see what the nWo was up to. Ever since then, anytime anything regarding WCW is created, I tune in, to get the backstage stories on a promotion that was extremely relevant during my childhood.
