- He decided to write the book after he typed his name into Google out of curiosity and found all the stories about him on the web. He also came across Wikipedia.org, and many of what was written about him was false, so he decided to disprove all of the myths about WCW and himself.

- When asked about The Death of WCW he said that he was told by his lawyer that he could have pursued legal action as most of what was written could be seen as slander. That book is so far off base its not even funny

- Bischoff then talks about the birth of WCW Monday Nitro, and how it was a big success. When asked how crucial it was to WCWs survival, he says that Ted Turner loved the WCW Product and would have supported it even if Monday Nitro had failed, but Bischoffs influence with the company would have diminished.

- He said it was great for WCW to succeed under him because nobody, including Bischoff himself, expected it to happen.

- Bischoff is then asked about whether or not the nWo growing so large hurt the idea behind the creation, but Bischoff says that the original idea was to have WCW and nWo split into two different brands very much like Raw and Smackdown are now, which is why the nWo kept growing larger and larger, but that final step to separate the two brands never happened.

- He says that it was a compliment for his ideas and creations (nWo, Goldberg, Scott Steiner) to be incorporated into the WWE. He says it didnt work because they operate under a different style and they used the style that works for them to creations that didnt mesh well.

- The infamous Starrcade 1997 Hogan vs. Sting main event was brought up next. Bischoff agrees that it was disappointing much like most people do. Bischoff said that there were backstage politics involved in what happened, but he also says that he has a tremendous amount of respect for Steve Borden but also mentions that when he showed up to Starrcade that night, he looked out of shape and not deserving of the crowning moment that was booked for him: I was disappointed for him because I didnt get the impression that he was taking and seizing this moment for what it could have been, and I wasnt the only one who felt that way - He is then asked about Bret Hart coming to WCW and him not working well in that company. Bischoff takes some of the blame for not having a good plan for Bret. He says that Bret is one of the classiest individuals Ive ever dealt with, but also feels that the incident in Montreal left a scar on Bret that hurt his passion towards to business: I dont think he was as committed and passionate about being in WCW as he needed to be Combined with his lack of a plan for Bret, Bischoff felt that both of those problems hurt Brets success in WCW.
