Anyone know when the Don Fargo book is out on Kindle?

Trailer for the upcoming documentary about 2000AD that is coming out soon: (NWS language!)

One of the recent WWE documentaries had this map pop up and I thought to track it down today-
I wonder if there's any chance WWE will ever put together a Memphis wrestling documentary. Doesn't Lawler have a lot of their tape library? If not a feature, it would be cool to see a doc with mini chapters each highlighting various prominent territories that were popular over the years. Getting rights to such a thing would probably be a mess though.
Did the Amarillo territory run south Texas? And what about Blanchards SWCW? Was that only a short term territory?

It's easy to forget just how sleazy ECW was, especially at the end when they were hyping the existence of "pervert pics" of Francine, Beulah, Dawn Marie etc on their website. And then they wonder why they went to the wall and couldn't get sponsors or interest from TV networks.

The Yet-tay pronunciation was because that's how Kevin Sullivan said it in the booking meetings so Schiavone just said it the same way.

It wouldn't be that hard for 50 or so people to type up every page in the book in a collaborative effort.

It was specifically because of a match at Clash 5 in February 1989 where the Road Warriors and Tenyru were scheduled to defend the 6 man titles against Sting, JYD and Michael Hayes, but the Varsity club locked the challengers in their lockeroom and took their place in the match. Baba thought he had no way to defend something like that to his fans so he pulled out of the NWA and any affiliation with WCW, which led to AJPW's near decade of isolationism, and also to the WCW/NJPW deal which lasted until WCW folded.

Damn. That's horrible news.

Can any F4W subscribers tell me what Karl Stern's health issue is? Plenty of people wishing him the best on Twitter.

Highly unlikely. Mark Callous's last WCW match was September 7th 1990 and Hogan was back wrestling in WWF in August, so unless they went back and did pickups later in the year and inserted his scene then he wouldn't have been under WWF contract. Not that it would really have made any sense to have a highly protected dark character like that have a squeaky voice in a comedy movie.

Is anyone getting Don Fargo's book and has anyone already read "I Aint No Pig Farmer!" by Dean Silverstone?

I've often heard people say that Savage shouldn't have won the title from Flair at WrestleMania 8, and the chase for the title should have continued until SummerSlam. But what happens if Savage wins the title at SummerSlam? I would presume that Bret never wins the title in October, Yokozuna beats Savage for the title, then you get the Luger push which isn't derailed by the fans preferring Bret since Bret never had his main event run prior to this. So what happens after that? Luger wins the title and feuds with, who? Does Diesel still end up with the belt at the end of '94?

Heyman probably thought Mikey wasn't going to get signed by WWF or WCW at a time when a few of his top stars were leaving. Same as his reasoning behind Justin Credible's push and title win in 2000.

I don't have a smartphone either, but can you actually buy cellphones in the US that can't text?

Cornette had Godzilla in his back pocket!

For a long time heel manager, Corny never really betrayed anyone he managed. I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two times. But that is still a good average.

From today's update, a great typo
--The Bellas are hosting a poof party on 8/31 at the Foxwood Resorts Casino in Connecticut.
Dave possessed by a homophobic British comedian from the 1980s. Duncan Norvelle will probably be guest of honour at the party.

What period does Jericho's third book cover up until?
-
I said a while back that TNA should just move to the UK. Just do the TV tapings here, some house shows here, tour Europe, the Middle East, Africa etc, go back to the US to do the 4 annual PPVs. Can't think of a reason not to do it.

I think Bockwinkel is the only guy on the list who had his career peak in the AWA. Who else is a great talker who had his best years in the AWA?
Is Heenan in the list?
I had a DVD of the best AWA interviews, I think it was one of the Okerlund produced mini PPVs they did in the early 2000s before WWE bought the library. There was tons of good stuff, obviously Heenan & Bockwinkel, but also Crusher and Bruiser, Mad Dog Vachon, Jesse Ventura, Superstar Graham, Ray Stevens, Dr X, Stan Hansen, Larry Zbyszko, Lord Alfred Hayes, even Verne & Greg had their moments.

Rare instance of Dave making a joke that went over Bryan's head today, with "Bo knows".
