HOGAN DECIMATING THE MONSTER AURA OF BIG VAN VADER, DUSTY'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY AND MORE

Where is Dusty Rhodes autobiography? Is there plans for one?

It's out!  Dusty: Reflections of an American Dream was released by Sports Publishing in 2005. Personally, I thought it was an OK, but not great read and that Rhodes held back a lot of stuff, possibly with the idea of doing a second book. I certainly hope one day that book sees the light of day as there's much more to what Dusty gave the industry and his experiences than the first book gave us a window into.

Will there be a Ravishing Rick Rude DVD?

Interesting question.  I haven't heard any talk about a Rude DVD, but given how often he's used for action figures and other media by the company, I don't think one is out of the question if and when he's inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

I just have one simple question. Where the hell is Samoa Joe?

You wouldn't realize this, since TNA has hardly touched on it, but Samoa Joe was "kidnapped" a few weeks ago.

I'm just thinking of ideas for WWE and TNA to maybe work with.  How do you think a PPV called "Challenges" would do?  It can be a champion vs. a challenger or the other way around including the mid card talent...but, somebody has to give up something important to them to get in the match to begin with and if they lose...it's gone.  I think it would be a great way to establish character development.  Feast or fired is not included.

It's not a bad idea for a TV show, but I don't see either company doing such a PPV concept.

Can you remember another moment where a wrestler's heat was killed in an instant when Hulk Hogan got right back up after Vader power bombed him at clash of champions? Vader was the best big man in the business at that time, bar none.  His career was never the same after that feud with Hogan.  He had an okay run in WWE but nobody looked at him like the monster he was in the early 90's.

Other than the night a fan was chokeslammed by 911 in the old ECW Arena, then shrugged it off and tried to go back to his front row seat, Nope!

Who was the first wrestler to jump off the top turnbuckle?

The first one to land in the ring after doing so!  Seriously, I doubt anyone has any record of such a thing.
