Just so everyone knows, even though the official release date is Tuesday of next week, Amazon is already shipping it. I placed an order on Saturday and I got it today. The book is definitely worth reading. I will comment more in detail after I've read the whole thing, as I just did kind of a skim. I could do without the Fozzy and life outside of wrestling stuff, but I also knew it would be here before picking up this book. I think, if anything, Jericho may have been *too* self-critical. He walks through all of his big programs and give his honest opinions on all of them, blaming himself for quite a few things not working out. He also sheds some light on his rela…

http://www.wrestlingrecall.blogspot.com/ some tidbits from the former WWE writer's blog (JohnasHimself) -the Bellas/Bryan triangle storyline was the Bellas idea and they ran with it -the word "sex" is not allowed on WWE TV so the angle will be full of innuendo -the writer pitched a similar storyline for Evan Bourne -Vince does not see Morrison as a top guy because he "can't kick anyone's ass" -Vince does not see Bryan as a badass but a wrestler who "capitalizes on other's mistakes" -Vince sees Skip Sheffield as a potential top babyface right behind Cena -he pitched Drew McIntrye as the original attacker of Undertaker -Randy Orton was…

Will and Rob Naylor run down the career of Bam Bam Bigelow. We'll discuss his time in the territories, the WWF, Japan and WCW. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet/20...bam-bam-bigelow

He seems to be taking orders here: http://www.memphiswrestlinghistory.com/books.html Here it is NWA fanfest last week, it is huge:

This has been released ahead of schedule here and now available on Amazon. I expect this to be sleazy, off the wall and great.

Our friend Lars Frederiksen is back to pay homage to Jake the Snake Roberts. We'll discuss his days in the territories, his entire WWF run, the snakes and their names, memorable matches, angles and much more. Blogtalkradio dropped Lars on the first show so we recorded a Part 2. Speaking of blogtalk, Rob and I are looking for a different way to produce the show so we can avoid these audio problems in the future. Everyone have a Merry Xmas and drive safe! Part 1 http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet/20...e-snake-roberts Part 2 http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet/20...he-snake-part-2

Tonight, Rob and I talk about one of his favorite wrestlers, Sean Waltman. Rob gives us the lowdown on why Waltman was a great wrestler, his memories of him in Global, his thoughts on the Clique and must-see matches. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet/20...on-sean-waltman

Naylor and I are back to celebrate the Steiner Brothers. We discuss their runs in the NWA, Japan, WWF, WCW. Naylor gives us his theories on wrestlers without kneepads, tag teams with matching sets, and Rick’s taped fingers. A fun show. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet/20...teiner-brothers

Naylor, Will and Alan4L talk to Missy Hyatt about her time in Texas and Mid South. We discuss the Von Erichs, The Freebirds, John Tatum, and Kabuki! Then, after Missy attends to her dogs, the guys continue discussing random topics like the Old School Raw, 2003 ROH, Christopher Daniels and Sean Waltman! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet/20...ith-missy-hyatt

http://www.cagesideseats.com/2010/11/13/18...cmahon-campaign Rovert loved this so much that now I'll start a new thread.

Rob Naylor and I revisit some of our favorite ECW moments with the man who probably has seen more ECW matches than anyone else alive. Gabe Sapolsky gives his insight into what made ECW special as we look at the highs and lows from the Bingo Hall in Philly. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet/20...h-gabe-sapolsky

http://www.loserleavestown.net/?p=230 Colt Cabana returns to discuss his ballot for the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame. A fun show as always w/ Cabana, as he discusses his reasoning for his picks as well as his other projects including his own podcast and his comedy. As usual, other fun topics come up as well.

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet Shiima Xion joins Will and Rob Naylor as they discuss their favorite moments of guys flying around the ring. Over the top, off the top turnbuckle, through the ropes and flipping off of cages... this is a tribute to wrestlers who defy gravity. This is THE Rob Naylor show where he gets to demonstrate why he loves wrestling!

Tonight, Rob Naylor and I discussed wrestling stables with the King of Old School, Steve Corino. Enjoy the show! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet/20...g-of-old-school

Yes, that's the first sentence in the foreword to Vince Russo's second autobiography Rope Opera: How WCW Killed Vince Russo, which really sets the self-congratulatory and self-pitying tone for the rest of the book. I suppose Vince's son VJ wouldn't know any better, but it says a lot about his father that this sentence made print. So this thread is here to give Russo his proper due on prowrestlingonly.com as one of the biggest carnies in the business, like Jim Ross and Triple H before him, as I go through his book and share with you his best contradictory nonsense. Feel free to chip in about stuff not covered in his latest book! Russo explaining why you have to pay …

Tonight, Naylor, Lars Frederiksen (of Rancid fame) and I did a show on the Four Horsemen. Two hours of Horsemen talk and the obligatory tangents including El Gigante, Ron Garvin's hair, Apter Mags and CM Punk. The two hours just flew by. Enjoy! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet/20...e-four-horsemen

Phil and I talk about the upcoming Schneider comp... http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet/20...hneider-comp-24

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/goodhelmet Earlier tonight, Rob Naylor and I talked 1980s New Japan Wrestling with special guest Monsta Mack of the Heavy Hitters (and formerly of Da Hit Squad). Naylor and Mack were on fire tonight! This was the perfect show to listen to as we hit the stretch run for the NJ 80s set. Feel free to leave feedback and comments. Stay tuned next week as Phil and I talk about the upcoming Schneider comp.

http://www.cagesideseats.com/2010/5/12/146...n-stupider-than I must emphasize: She made a MAJOR error here on several levels.

New feature since I've discovered WrestlingMedia.ws. We start with Roddy Piper's "I'm Your Man."

Had written these up at another board and dug them up to post at DVDVR, so...

http://www.adamcarolla.com/ACPBlog/2010/02...dy-roddy-piper/ Apparently, Piper must be trying to do stand-up comedy or some sort of variety act. He was on Adam Carolla's podcast the other day and he plugged a performance at a comedy club in California. Good stuff on the podcast. If anyone listens, was the Fuji/Tanaka/Dog head story ever confirmed?
