Some exclusive news, lots of ticket giveaways and so much more….

I would like to take this time to wish a speedy recovery to my friend Harold Poole.  I was told today that he is in a Florida hospital in a coma, but don't know anything else, other than he is on life support.
If anyone knows anymore information, please contact me @ [email protected]

For those of you tired of all the high prices of gasoline, here is a website sent to me by Awesome Amy.  Just put in your zip code, and go to the station with the cheapest prices.  We must do something to stop this nonsense of prices  constantly going up.
Especially when I know someone who works on the Alaska pipeline, and they tell me there is plenty of gasoline in reserve.  So why aren't we using that reserve, to save some money.  This is just so unfair.

I have to say some other wrestling websites have listed news about Gail Kim going to WWE and some idiotic letter supposedly from Andrew Martin.  Both are untrue.  Be careful what you believe on some of these websites.  I always try to confirm everything I post, unless I state it as a rumor.
 
I don't care how reputable the wrestling sites are, they should always double check information they are given, before they print it as news.
 
I am currently working on my snail mail Newsletter, we have Killer Kowalski on the cover.

Sal Corrente's article:
 
I would also like to add that I have spoken to Jimmy Hart and Sal Corrente's article about the false booking was a true article.  Jimmy was never booked for that show.  The promoters rebuttal was false.

SPEAKING OF SOLIE: For longtime Tampa Bay area pro wrestling fans, an upcoming biography of Gordon Solie will be a must read. Solie's daughter and son-in-law, Pamela and Bob Allyn, are putting the finishing touches on "The Solie Chronicles," and it is not just about wrestling. There also will be plenty of attention given to Solie's auto racing involvement at the old Golden Gate Speedway, where he honed his deadpan announcing technique. In 2005, the Allyns published "Gordon Solie ... Something Left Behind," an eclectic collection of Solie's poetry and personal writings. This biography should be the perfect complement to the Allyns' first effort.
