……
Glad to be back home, Atlantic City was fun to get away for 4 days. Although the weather was brutal for two days. The rain and winds were out of control, at the Tropicana Casino, it was so bad, it was raining in the Casino. Plastic sheets had to be put over many slot machines.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Some of the news will be a little late, but I want to share the many emails I received.
WWE.com has revealed that Roddy Piper was suffering from a mass in his spine which was causing the pain in his back during the recent European tour. Piper and Flair took on Edge and Orton for the belts on RAW and Piper was taken out quickly before the match started due to his injuries. He was also removed from the Survivor Series card and replaced with Ron Simmons.
Piper had his mass removed and is now resting at his home in Oregon waiting results of a biopsy.

“Invest In Health”
Health and fitness is a multi-billion dollar industry. There will always be the latest diet craze, diet pill, electronic device, or piece of work out equipment that makes claims at improving your health, physique, or lifestyle. I have been involved with athletes for over thirty plus years and have tried numerous products.
As an aging athlete, I know my days are numbered for when I will have to walk away from competitive sports, but I will still be involved in the biggest contest and that is the contest of “life” and having the best quality of life. There are very few products that live up to their claim and I will be happy to share that information with you if you are able to attend the “wellness seminar” that will take place in Coldwater, Michigan on November 27th at 7pm.
This will be located at the Coldwater Eagles Lodge. This is a very informal event. If you are interested in learning more information about this event, please email me back at [email protected] or [email protected]. We will send you a flier with extra information on what will be discussed. I hope to see a room full of people that are as interesting as I am in living that healthy lifestyle.
All the best, from the beast…

ESPN’S Bert Sugar: WRESTLING BABYLON
by Irvin Muchnick ‘Is a Sock on the Jaw’
..WRESTLING BABYLON: Piledriving Tales of Drugs, Sex, Death, and Scandal – Irvin Muchnick’s forthcoming book about pro wrestling behind the scenes – “is a sock on the jaw,” says the Foreword by ESPN personality and boxing historian Bert Randolph Sugar.
WRESTLING BABYLON will be published in March 2007 by ECW Press (http://ecwpress.com).
WRESTLING BABYLON will be published in March 2007 by ECW Press (http://ecwpress.com).
“This is an industry with as much to say about our collective consciousness as ballet, opera, and athletics combined – and with WRESTLING BABYLON it has met its match,” Sugar writes. “A few hundred years from now some archeologist is going to dig up a copy, alongside a box of men's neckties, and wonder which aspect of our culture was stranger.”
The Foreword concludes: “In a world of timid, formulaic scrivenings on sports and entertainment and sports entertainment, WRESTLING BABYLON is a sock on the jaw.”
Bert Sugar's full text can be viewed at http://muchnick.net/Foreword.pdf.
