By WorldWrestlingInsanity.com

For up to the minute information on all the latest guests, articles, and information posted on World Wrestling Insanity, you can join our Facebook Fan Page at: http://www.facebook.com/WorldWrestlingInsanity and follow us on Twitter @ClubWWI
 
As many fans know, two former ClubWWI.com guests, Cliff "Domino" Compton and Luke Gallows recently worked a wrestling tour of Nigeria. In a stroke of bad luck and bad timing, while they were there, a terrorist attack on the United Nations left them with no way home.  Coupled with other payment problems and insane dealings with authorities there, Cliff and Luke went through quite an ordeal.  What fans may not realize is that Fifi the Maid was almost there herself and helped the guys get word out on their situation back in the States.  As she explains to James Guttman on ClubWWI.com, it was scary for everyone...
 
"They had talked about how they were going to Nigeria and doing this big show and said, "Hey, maybe on the next show, you'd want to come over.  Because Fifi would be huge there."  I actually thought about it. I contacted my best friend and said, "Hey, you want to come with me and go to Nigeria?  This will be some exciting travel."  And she was like, "Sure!  Why not?"  Because we were in this travel mode.  So I was following what they're doing over there and next thing you know, the U.N. was bombed and I thought, "Ooo.  I better see if they're OK."  When I went to check on them, they were like, "Oh my God!  We can't get out of this country..."
 
Wendy speaks about the gravity of the situation and doing what she could to spread the word.  As listeners of her ClubWWI.com show know, Barlow knows many big names - especially around Atlanta - and used her resources to help any way she could.
 
"So I said, "Let me help you out."  So I got the state department.  I got CNN.  You know, with all my contacts here in Atlanta, I got CNN.  I got the news crew.  I had everybody involved doing shows to make sure that it was aware that these guys were stuck over there and they didn't know if they were going to get out.  So it worked out that they finally did get out, but it was pretty scary.  I decided, Fifi will not be entering Nigeria any time in any near future. (laughing)  I started thinking, "They thought I would be a hit over there .  Yeah.  It would be a hit by a slaughter group."  Fifi would not have survived in Nigeria.  I
do not know what I was thinking."
 
Another topic that Club For The Gold faithful and fans of Fifi on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/FiFi-from-Wrestling/281035113452) know about is Wendy's acting work.  During this show, she speaks about working with a brunette Kate Hudson on "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" due out in 2013.  But coming Sunday is a show that she's been involved with since the start - AMC's The Walking Dead.  Guttman mentions that Fifi actually will be a walking dead and ClubWWI.com can see her in the new season…
 
"This season, yes.  It should be the first episode.  You'll have to spot me. It might be hard because I'll be looking like a zombie on the Walking Dead.  It will be on Sunday at 9pm on AMC and it is going to be phenomenal.  Last season was incredible, but this season, I can tell you there's one episode - and I'm not going to spoil it or give it away - but there is one episode, I think, that is just going to be unbelievable.  It's going to take the… the Golden Globe.  They already won the Emmy for makeup for all their Walking Dead zombie makeup.  Let me tell you, they are incredible with that stuff. Of course, I didn't recognize myself after they got finished with me and that's a good thing.  It's an incredible show.  It's an incredible season.  And look for Fifi on there and also, I'll be in some flashback scenes throughout the season.  In those, I will not have makeup on.  So that's cool.  There's going to be a show that will shock everybody probably mid-way through, that people will go, "Oh.  My.  God."  I was crying, but it's all good and it's definitely going to be a good show. "
 
Remember, Wendy Barlow's show is just one of thousands of hours of audio available as soon as you join ClubWWI.com. Including Ray "Glacier" Lloyd's "Breaking The Ice", Paul Roma's "Glorious", and author James Guttman's interviews ranging from Jesse Ventura to Samoa Joe the moment you sign up!

Hello folks,

I just watched the world premiere of Sadermania at the AMC River East in Chicago.  Here's a brief rundown:

Crowd:  Theater was nearly sold out and the crowd had LOTS of energy anticipating the show.  Felt like the excitement before a live wrestling show.

Movie: The movie itself was spectacular.  I highly recommend it.  This is a movie that both wrestling fans, Hulk Hogan fans,  and the general public will enjoy.  Chris Sader, Chris Sader's Mom, and Hulk Hogan all steal the show.  Chris Sader truly outshines Hulk Hogan in the movie and his Mom is pure comic relief.  In fact, when I was walking out his Mom stopped me the tell me that was her son.  The movie is great because it depicts a genuine person who shares his story of how he got into watching wrestling and how it escalated into a love for Hulk Hogan.  Although the movie is a documentary, it also provides numerous comedy spots, a surprise appearance by Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and conveys a positive uplifting Christian message to the audience.  It also conveys wrestling in a truly positive light.  It was so good that I plan on watching the additional screening on Wednesday, Oct. 19th and I'm going to bring friends this time.

After the movie: Chris, the director, and the producer did some Q&A with the audience.  Chris personally thanked all the audience members for coming and shook hands and took photos.  The audience broke into some Sadermania chants and it was just a fun time.

Final Thoughts: Highly Recommended and I wish Chris the best!

Best,

Danny
