cwoy2j 3,444 Posted September 20, 2016 5 hours ago, Tromatagon said: My favorite Gary Hart stories are the ones that don't end with a sentence about the nice person involved dying a horrible death shortly thereafter The worst one was about the secretary in one of the booking offices he worked in. It went like, "she was a wonderful woman, hard worker. People liked her, took care of her handicapped mother. THen some guys broke into her house and killed them both." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cwoy2j 3,444 Posted September 20, 2016 And the Magic Dragon one was tough too. "If you ever saw Great Kabuki without me, you saw Magic Dragon. We were going to send him to Australia. The promoter heard that Dragon just got married so they paid for her ticket as well for a honeymoon gift. Then the plane crashed and they both died." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I re-read that last night because I forgot the story. The fact that they'd go in and just stare at him why he slept is kinda weird. I think there were drugs involved. Also, Barnett did send both Outlaws back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete 13,958 Posted September 20, 2016 The best Outlaws-in-Australia story was the one about the bar with a shark tank where (I think) Murdoch jumped in and literally swam with the sharks. Just because I thought it over a bit and could COMPLETELY buy Dick doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notoriusvig 346 Posted December 3, 2016 I'm sure this has been discussed but how is Lex Luger's book? I've been enjoying his 96-97 stuff and the preview on the Kindle sounded decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to check it out. I did indeed post some of it here. But I went and wrote a lot more and we have edited it a ton. Hopefully finding all the typos, I swear to god I did my best. I really am grateful to anyone who bought it. I am very proud of it and think we did something unique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cwoy2j 3,444 Posted December 28, 2016 I recently got both of JTG's books. Quick reads and badly in need of some editing but lots of interesting stories. Shad comes across like one of those guys who is a good friend but his dumbassery and general self-unawareness always gets others in trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
