I am a LONG time subscriber and I check the site multiple times daily. Keep up the awesome work. I have various items from my long tenure as a wrestling fan, such as a collection of ECW and W.O.W. Magazines, WCW Johnny Lightning cars, different action figures and autographs...stuff like that. I am looking to sell them soon but other than ebay, what kinds of outlets would you suggest I could look at that would target the wrestling fans and audience?

You will see my name in those magazines, so it will probably decrease their value. My best guess would be trying wrestling conventions. Ebay has always been the way I have heard people say they used to sell wrestling stuff though. Good luck and thanks for the support!

My favourite period of watching wrestling was between August 2002 when Brock Lesnar won the WWE Championship and Wrestlemania XIX in April 2003. Yes, even above the Attitude era and Rock and Wrestling. The reason being is that there was a great mixture of familiar faces and new gimmicks, fresh matchups all throughout the card (from Lesnar vs Undertaker to Angle vs Mysterio), and they showcased many styles of wrestling, from the pure matchup of Angle & Benoit at the Rumble to the barbaric Elimination Chamber at Survivor Series. But the best part was that everyone, from the top to the bottom, single star, cruiserweight, diva or tag team, had a character, direction, and storyline that for the most part, made sense (bar the odd Katie Vick or Al Wilson). My question is, who was the head booker for WWE during this period, and why were they replaced with Stephanie McMahon in April 2003 when the product was so stellar in quality?

The head writer is always Vince McMahon but the late Chris Kreski was the guy doing the great TV before Stephanie took over. She was blood, so she got the job. At least, that is the only reason I ever heard. It's a damn shame too because Kreski's era was awesome.

If both were available, who would be the more intriguing Wrestlemania opponent for Ryback: Warrior or Goldberg?

He would love either one. He isn't exactly high up the card right now. WWE would rather have Warrior. They already had Goldberg and his run was forgettable.

While I don't necessarily see this happening, I still like the concept behind my question. TNA needs a home run and I started thinking of TNA booking in the past. They run with long, often drawn out storylines. What if AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett leaving is actually a work. ROH's little dig at TNA is part of a storyline. Samoa Joe not being welcomed back to ROH is part of a storyline. Jeff Hardy leaving is part of a bigger storyline involving his brother Matt Hardy and SCUM. what if Sinclair Broadcasting bought out TNA and Jeff Jarrett, as a minority owner of TNA, made it happen? And what if, in real life, Sinclair only buys into TNA and ends up helping them with contracts and talent? Maybe Kenny King's disappearance is part of an elaborate ROH invasion angle. It would be a fun angle unless someone decides to partner House of Hardcore with ROH to form the Alliance and ruin it. Could there be any possibility of that occuring?

Uh, no. You have an active imagination though! It would be fun if it happened, but it's not going to.
