The Apter Mags
There was a trend on wrestling Twitter where you post the issue of PWI from the month you were born. Wonder if it could catch on here.

WrestleMania 39
This show was classic pro wrestling, from beginning to end. The commitment to WM standards by this roster is to be applauded. It’s far more easier to be cynical about wrestling as an adult even if still swayed by the product, so it makes the reward this show has been at times before all the more sweet to take in. Cole and Graves were mostly phenomenal over both nights, putting over the talent and the storylines succinctly enough that it didn’t distract from the in-ring action.

WrestleMania 39
Tonight is the end of an era, that’s for sure.

WrestleMania 39
No lie I feel like this could be a great show. I’ve not watched much WWE overall but the curiosity about the product lately has grown stronger, and with these strong storylines and an able and willing roster, I’m convinced that for at least this weekend we’ll see a company truly at their peak. Very happy my brother is there to soak it all in, more of a true believer in wrestling than I have been in a long time.

Wrestler=Actor
I have likely mentioned this already but I think PSH would have been a perfect Bobby Heenan. It wouldn’t have surprised me to learn he watched wrestling when he was more of a jock before he became an actor so who knows. God I hope he becomes more appreciated as time goes on and people go back to the work and say he was one of a kind in his field.

Wrestler=Actor
Kevin Gage, best known for playing Waingro in Heat, in that role reminds me a lot of Jake Roberts in nearly every way but his voice.

I just noticed that Simon and Schuster are putting out RingMaster. Weren’t they WWE’s publisher when Foley’s books came out and after?

Under-the-radar wrestling book recommendations
Ron Fuller wrote a novel about a bear loose in the Smoky Mountains, and I believe he’s writing a book about wrestling next. Are there other wrestlers besides him and Mick Foley who have written novels?

Good match, Slaughter was a hell of a heel.

How many wrestlers were on Carson? Hulk, Jesse Ventura and Andre off the top of my head but I wonder if there were more

Gilmour vs. Waters
Not that I would ever want to see it become violent at any point in the now 4-decades running on and off feud, but in the current media landscape everything like this is now fair game to be booked.

The Iron Claw
The actor who played Healy on Orange is the New Black is Bill Mercer, and was in among other things two of the more disturbing episode of the first season of True Detective. Nobody is listed on IMDb or Letterboxd as playing Manning.

[2023-02-08-AEW-Dynamite] Bryan Danielson vs Rush
I wonder if Rush goes face after this. Hook and him would have a good match.
