……

I have received many emails asking if I have the password yet for WrestleMania XXIV, the answer is no.  The internet presale starts on November 1st at 10 AM, hopefully we will have one before then.  Sorry again for lack of my updates, still under the weather, but getting better every day.  Thanks to everyone who sent along get well greetings.

WWE Raw is taking place in Philly on Monday, and Chris Jericho has a book signing in Philly.
October 29th - CHRIS JERICHO will be signing copies of his book @ Barnes & Noble University Bookstore - U Penn - 3601 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA. @ 5:30 PM.
So we are all assuming that Chris will be on Raw, does make sense
 
The WWE SmackdownECW is taking place at Nassau Coliseum, and guess what Chris Jericho has a book signing on LI.
October 30th  - CHRIS JERICHO will be signing copies of A Lion’s Tale @ Barnes & Noble - 91 Old Country Road, Carle Place, NY starting at 5 PM.  Call  516-741-9850.
 
Again more speculation that Chris might be available for WWE Smackdown or ECW taping.  Well in only a few days we will know for sure.

Great article on Bret Hart's book, from  how it wasn't easy growing up at Hart, making millions in the business, Bret learned about blading, Bret cheating on Julie in Japan and so much more.  This sounds like it will be honest and great read, such as Mick Foley's book were.  I can't wait to read it.

I picked up the December 2007 edition of Official XBOX Magazine a couple of days ago.  WWE Smackdown VS Raw 2008 was reviewed.  The game got an 8.5 out of 10.  In the past, wrestling games have gotten pretty bad scores.  But over the past couple of years, they've gotten much better.

There is a great article called WrestleFanFest: The Fiasco In ’Frisco by JD Michaels, April Hunter's husband.  Check it out, lots of great photo's too:

Just heard from Penny Banner, and her shoot DVD will be ready for Xmas delivery, and she wants you fans to ask her questions for the interview.  Check out:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PQ2CRkoFPo 
Send your questions to: [email protected]  If you bought Penny's book, perhaps there is something you still want to know that wasn't in the book.

Georgie--
Curious if you know any NY-based Promoters (live event promoters) who are looking
to hire (or need) any video production assistance (whether an extra cameraman or an
editor or production assistant in filming the matches at a show)??? 
Curious because TV Production is my main career interest and was wondering if any
federations or groups nearby needed any assistance....
I DON'T MEAN AUTOGRAPH CONVENTIONS... I MEAN LIVE WRESTLING SHOWS..
Even if it's "weekends only" that is more than fine with me.... any thoughts or leads??
From:  Carlos Fernandez [email protected]  SERIOUS INQURIES ONLY !!

This was sent in by Mike Informer about Nattie Neidhart, Wrestling With Tradition from the Pasco Tribune:   NEW PORT RICHEY - Thanks to her sparkling smile, bleach-blonde hair and diva-like presence, most people probably wouldn't assume at first glance that Nattie Neidhart's father is someone called 'The Anvil.'   Nor is it immediately evident that the daughter of famed professional wrestler Jim Neidhart is one of a few women to have endured grueling training sessions in an infamous basement facility known as 'The Dungeon.'  Read the rest @ Wrestling With Tradition

I just received this from Kerrie:
I received an Email from Kristal Marshall [I've met her several times when WWE has come on Australian & New Zeland tours. We discussed doing a website for her http://www.kristal-marshall.net [Although the site is up and running it never officially launched], I was given her personal Email account (which I will not give out). In her email she wrote to me, she wants everyone to know any posts from websites or myspace at the current time are not statements from her and she does not have a website or myspace page that she herself posts on. She also says when the time is right she will be putting out an official statement on her release.
 
I know there may be some doubters out there as to the validity of this news however I can assure you with my personal experience and given the fact that I run the official websites of Ken Kennedy, Romeo Roselli and Matt Morgan I can be trusted.

LEX LUGER UPDATE from Scott Epstein
 
The only thing happening correctly (if you can call it such, by the Grace of God) other than Goldberg and Austin is the Lex Luger scenario.  As most of you already know, I was one of the two people to make the decision to kayfabe Lex out of the hotel via the service elevator and kitchen exit.  Of course some smart marks are always in the right spot at the right time so they thought they had a drug or steroid story to whip around..............NOT.....as of last night Lex is resting comfortably in a terrific California hospital getting the best of care for the infection that entered possibly through a small cut on the back of his neck and decided to hang out nice and warm and cozy (that's what these infections do) between L whatever and another L, you know those vertebrae.  That is what gave myself and paramedics false heart/stroke symptoms in  the first place.  He is on a regimen of antibiotics for the infection and rest and will come through this with flying colors.  It's nice to hear one of the boys problems isn't related to 'roids or pain meds.  God Bless Lex.  He so badly wanted to sign.  I look at it as a sign from God since he would have gotten a bad check, anyhow and been pissed off and perhaps further running around could have worsened his condition. 
 
Super Kudos to Diamond Dallas Page who was gone already from the SF event, took my call and hooked up Steve Borden, Lex's family, and priest with whom he is friendly all with my number.  Sting moved fast against Angle in that last PPV but not as fast as he got to Luger's side.  These guys are gems and I hope if and when I NEED THAT KIND OF SUPPORT, I have people there for me like that.  It's nice to know that the brotherhood of the wrestling fraternity of yesteryear is still there.  I needed to see this for myself and I did.

Also from Scott Epstein:
Any talent or staff who got a bad check or bogus check from the Cow Palace deal please contact me as I and Mike Lano in SF are gathering all the information against the promoter  and I am working with the San Mateo Consumer Fraud Heavies.  Please e-mail me with your phone # and I will call you with what to do with your paperwork.....if you can scan any checks or contracts send to [email protected]  ASAP ....You can call me 24/7,   whether you are talent, photographer, MMA, whomever.........this has to have a huge public closure to let the rest of the country know this business will not accept this EVER !!!
