Upcoming nWo book brings fresh look at legendary faction through pop culture lens
The nWo, one of the most discussed and well-documented subjects in pro wrestling history, is getting a fresh perspective. Marc Raimondi, the former New York Post writer and current Falcons beat reporter for ESPN, is taking at look at WCW's famed faction through a pop culture lens in his upcoming book 'Say Hello to the Bad Guys: How Professional Wrestling's New World Order Changed America,' which is available for pre-order and in stores June 24. Raimondi, who has been a close friend for more than 20 years, delivers one of the most in-depth, easy-to-follow and well-reported accounts of how nWo worked by reflecting on the cultural shifts during that time in our country's history — feeding off and then feeding into pop culture — and ultimately failed. The book is written almost like it's made for TV, with little cliffhangers here and there. The cover of 'Say Hello to the Bad Guys: How Professional Wrestling's New World Order Changed America.' In the book, he compares Crow Sting's popularity in the context of someone a castout youngster of the '90s could relate to, like Kurt Cobain and Marilyn Manson, as he rebels against the high school bullies of the nWo within the story.
