Update: Havok's deleted a dozen racist/homophobic tweets. Still at least a dozen more legit still visible on her account. smdh
This...
Even when this community is off topic, it's only for a split second then it's back to wrestling. Hell some days I just want to talk about food and videos games instead of wrestling to be honest.
Anywho... I have yet to read the Gary Hart book, I have it but didn't put a dent into it. After I finish Titan Sinking, I'll give it a go.

No new wrestling books I've bought in a while though. I am reading 'Death of WCW' 10th anniversary edition again though. I'll probably stop once the book hits 1999 and on since its too depressing.
Oh yeah, someone mentioned 'Titan Sinking' earlier. At $4.99 its a good price and a quick read, you can probably read it in a day. I found it enjoyable.
If you don't want to buy Titan Sinking and you do have an Amazon account and a Kindle device, you can use Kindle Unlimited free trial and get the book since its available on Kindle Unlimited.

Not surprising
Thank you for acknowledging my accomplishments. It's good to know all those years of blood, sweat, and tears in the ring meant something.

When in doubt, never trust bitter Justin Roberts
I could believe it. Sounds like the way entertainment companies are run. New guys gets control of a division and all of the old guy's projects are quietly defunded, sidelined or run into the ground to a) make the new guy's projects look all the better and b) so the old guy can't claim credit for anything the division produces. Pragmatic approach to ego-driven politics, very carny.
Especially when the shining examples used for people not fulfilling their potential are Zack Ryder, Ziggler, and Los Matadores.

Wait until 50 years from now when the cybernetic (and semi-holographic) corpse of Hogan is going at it with the likes of an aging cyborg John Cena at WrestleMania (*insert symbol here*).
I should put more thought into this...
Sadly, I've never really played a Suikoden game to properly answer that question.
I did pick up the 2nd game in a PSN Flash Sale a few weeks back.
May play it after I finish with Tales of Graces f.

Since Tampa Bay is a hotbed for tax dodging pro wrestlers, is there any wrestler presence at the Stanley Cup Final?

It's the Hogan verse CM Punk feud we've been waiting for b²
Pretty sure I've only read three wrestling books: Bret Hart's, and Jericho's first two. Enjoyed all of them for different reasons, but my opinion of Jericho has changed quite a bit since he started his podcast...might end up just selling his books, though I could see myself reading the first one again.

Foley's first book is great stuff. The second one is alright but it's very much a book of its time as opposed to an all time great book.
Death of WCW is also highly entertaining.

How about Brooke Hogan vs AJ Lee?
Don't sell A Lions Tale, it is still a fantastic primer into the world of Pro-Wrestling at the time. I'm willing to say it's even better than Foley's book, which is fantastic. The second book is okay, but once Jericho stars writing about his band, eh...
None of his band stories are unique, they've all been told by other rockers before, and those guys all told them better. The problem is Jericho is enamored by the fact that he was able to live both his dreams, but the fact of the matter is that from an objective view, his rock career is tiny compared to his wrestling career. There are tons of bands out there enjoying the success Fozzy has undergone. That's not anywhere near as impressive from the outside looking in as being first Undisputed WWF World Heavyweight Champion against Rock and Austin.
But I get it. He's trying to not end up like Hogan and Bret. Unfortunately, I think by running in the exact opposite direction, he has made himself am example of why you shouldn't distance yourself too far from the business when you're not working. Contrary to appearances, Rock doesn't do that, and I think it's a major reason why he is the top box office draw right now.
Edit: Also, yes, Death of WCW is probably the GOAT because of the sheer lunacy of the situation. If I am stuck on a desert island with only one book, and it must be wrestling related, I gotta go with that one.

The amount of stuff that should be on the network but not is shocking.
Yes, why aren't the 1997 NITROS on the Network?
Listen to this guy. I've read Foley's first book and The Death of WCW and they're both a lot of fun. Very easy reads. Death gets a little number-y with ratings and attendance, but that's my only real complaint.
