I've never said that was the case. Going back to your thread on F4W:

Well I cant disagree with that. As of out of hand it is youve cultivated their perception of you to an extent. That perception isnt helped by in your words going overboard about a book at that point you hadnt even read and especially a book of this nature. "HA-HA! WHAT A GAY BITCH!" (By the way, that story was going to be in Jericho's book before the murders happened). Still it doesnt turn every act of kindness by Benoit as myth though. Im no Benoit apologist but come on.

I admire your candor but I feel from an "outsiders" perspective you (and others) did a poor job PR wise for the book. I don’t want to subcategorise people and groups of posters even though some have already. I think most of you have enough sense of self to know how some view you. I think a more reserved approach to plugging a book in the future will pay dividends rather than the triumphalism of this summer. The book didn’t totally debunk the "myth" of Beniot as you put it either. This begs the questions what Wrestling books have you read? I’ve in the past have used Pain & Passion as a comparison piece to Ring of Hell so I will again. I think Pain & Passion is a far superior book. At least you didn’t get the heavy handed use of the English language which made the book a chore to read in many parts. P&P had an even structure and a logical narrative, while Ring of Hell at points didn’t know what it wanted to be. I would dispute any claims that the book was read by the author more than once. With P&P I wasn’t distracted by the writing and the quality of writing didn’t make me question the validity of the book which Ring of Hell did. Arent you him?

I didn't get to proof the book. He was trying to get it cleared with the publisher to send me the manuscript but it didn't work out. Well then you still went out on a limb to fair degree with it regardless. In a sense you over hyped then and it hindsight. Well in fairness Bix you framed the book in a topic on F4W with a topic title "Anyone bought Ring of Hell yet? Too hot for WON/F4W?" whether this was send up or not. Also Bix you did write this on F4W: bwt did compare the book to the bible and Ball Four on F4W too So it works both ways. I was more down on the quality of the writing rather than the journalistic aspects of the book.

I think some of you lads should have done a better job proofing it for your buddy.

Where do you start?

Id rather you not speak in general terms. Nope Well has courted it on occasion and has come out with quirky and OTT comments over the years.

See first post Also, they're charging $5 more on eBay for each version of the interview set than they are on their regular website, when it's usually the same or less on eBay. Doh, Ive heard the torrents had it up yesterday.

It is astute but Flair seems to be Mr. Money Upfront at the moment.

How dare you discount the fine work of Deputy Managing Editor Scott Williams. I think just a badge comes with that job.

I was about to say the same thing and that for a business owner with decent turnover he doesnt have any "real" employees. Someone on F4W messing around with one of those propery websites posted an aeral picture of Meltzer's house and it seemed pretty swish.

So when is Irv's book out? It would be worth buying just for Irv trying to make a concessive argument out of all this. Yeah thats what actually meant sorry. Conjecture over solid facts or half facts.

Maybe that child wasnt only allowed Kit Kats for whatever reason (nut allergy?)?

Didnt people post similar rumours when X-Pac missed a WWF/E PPV a couple of years ago?

This was fanastic, nice one Bix

Someone's Kiwi boyfriend is getting a promotion

How did the Morhisima dark match come about.

Come the fuck on, steroids fight HIV now? Someone really needs to tell Cena that the "golly, if only people knew the good side of steroids" gimmick isn't working. You seen the movie right?

Doesnt Italy have this type of service already?

Would you be kind enough give a track list of the songs you used for the menus? Thanks

It's hard to imagine a time that revealing that the top star was related to the promoter would result in killing the business....and that time was only 20 years ago. That, and I guess the Kirk death in the ring must have been looked at as a huge deal when it happened over there. The revelation of them being brothers exposed the business for many people who didn’t think it was "fixed." The reaction in the UK to the business as being fixed was culturally very different in comparison to the US. The Kirk death was front page news.

The 100k includes all the signings of the DVD too probably.

The next one is with Lanny freakin' Poffo! I do like how Wade puts over Lanny as an engaging, entertaining storyteller, after panning him for being so odd and strange when he went on Hannity & Colmes during the Benoit media frenzy. Good point. The is only one question I want answered by Lanny and thats about his brother.
