There is much talk about the health of Roddy Piper.  Many conflicting reports.

Just keep a few of our friends in your prayers.

The sale of Ric Flair's NWA title belt was on hold. Highspots was contacted around 3pm yesterday by one of Flair's attorneys who asked for 48 hours to resolve the situation. The attorney said that they had just learned about the situation and needed a full day to work on it. Hightspots said they were happy to oblige but noted if they can't resolve the situation they have several offers on the table that would satisfy the debt.
Well I guess it wasn't resolved, as Highspots is now accepting offers for the belt OVER $75,000.

Friends,

I am excited to announce two things today.

First, the long awaited release of my second book, “Swimming with Piranhas: Surviving the Politics of Professional Wrestling,” is now upon us. According to my publisher, ECW Press, next Friday (October 16) copies of the book will begin to be shipped from their printer’s warehouse, which means they will begin to appear on bookstore shelves the week of Oct. 26.

Second, I’m pleased to announce the launch of my new Web site at http://www.howardbrody.com – it’s a very simple site that includes some excerpts from the new book, has information on my current projects, and features other good stuff about yours truly. I hope you take a few minutes to check it out. Please feel free to pass the link along to anybody you know who might be interested.

Best always,  Howard Brody
