Curtain Call: How An Unscripted Goodbye Changed The Course Of Pro Wrestling

Professional wrestling saw its biggest boom period in the late 1990s, but the events that led to it may not have ever happened if it weren't for the unscripted actions of four of its biggest stars in 1996. With Kevin Nash and Scott Hall leaving for the rival WCW, they (along with their friends Shawn Michaels and Triple H) committed the cardinal sin of breaking character in front of a sold-out crowd at the World Wrestling Federation's sacred ground of Madison Square Garden.

The repercussions of that event were far-reaching, and the landscape of the industry would be drastically different if not for the actions of these four men. Everything from the rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin, the genesis of D-Generation X, and even WWF's eventual purchase of WCW may not have happened if it weren't for the infamous Curtain Call on May 19, 1996.

Using interviews from the men involved in the notorious incident, this book explores the events leading up to the Curtain Call, the incident itself, and its significant and industry-changing aftermath.
