There's been a lot of wrestling books announced lately, including Hornwoggle's autobiography, which got me thinking - what wrestlers from the '70s, '80s and '90s would you like to see write their own books?
This is actually a pretty easy answer for me. I have been telling Les Thatcher for years that he needs to write his autobiography, so he'd hit the '70s answer. As far as the 1980s, I have a tie. While his career began prior to the '80s, Don Muraco was a huge star in the middle of the WWF national expansion, including main events against Hulk Hogan. I think he'd have a great book. The other 1980s answer, for me, would be Tully Blanchard. He's the only member of the original Four Horsemen who haven't released a book and he was such an incredible heel in Texas, the WWF and the NWA that it's a real shame he hasn't chronicled his career as of yet. As far as the '90s, I'd go with Matt Hardy. While the Hardy Boyz certainly had a WWE book released years ago, I think the entire run of Matt's life since then, the Edge-Lita situation and the aftermath, his WWE release, his personal issues, overcoming them, starting his family with his wife, rebooting his career, The entire Broken saga, the issues with Impact Wrestling, etc. all sound like a hell of a roller coaster read to me. There's lots of others, but these are the names that really jump off the page, to make a pun, to me.
I saw you reported that the WWE Network would have the remainder of Mid-Atlantic added, but obviously, they went with Heat instead. Any idea why the change was made?
WWE lays out their strategy for older content they will add to the Network months in advance. They currently have a plan, the last I heard, that runs through the end of 2018. The plan was to add Mid-Atlantic, but was laid out before WWE defeated the lawsuit filed by Raven and Buff Bagwell over royalties from the Network. The decision was made a few weeks back to upload Heat. In the case of Thunder, the other series that was trapped in stasis while that lawsuit wound its way through the court in Connecticut, once the situation was handled, the decision was made to still go forward with WCW Saturday Night and add Thunder as well. Thus far, WWE has held off on completing their run of Mid-Atlantic TV.
I want to get into pro wrestling. What school should I go to?
If it was me, I'd be looking at the Team 3D Academy or Lance Storm's school, depending on what was geographically more desirable for me personally. I'd also start going to as many seminars as possible, especially if they are featuring Rip Rogers, Tom Prichard or Les Thatcher.
Who were the Blackharts in WCW?
Dave Heath aka Gangrel and Tom Nash.
I have really been getting into 205 Live lately. Who trained Brian Kendrick, Tony Nese, Cedric Alexander and Drew Gulak?
Kendrick was trained in Texas by Rudy Boy Gonzales and Shawn Michaels. Nese was trained in Long Island by Mikey Whipwreck. Alexander was trained in North Carolina by George South. Gulak was trained by Mike Quackenbush and Kassius Ohno in Pennsylvania.HEAT
