Status Updates From Wrestle Maniacs

Gabino Iglesias?! It's not even my birthday!

ExCUSE me sir, there's only one Bam Bam in professional wrestling, and his surname is BIGELOW.

It's like every single one of these guys read the same Wikipedia entry about kayfabe and razoring yourself for color.

As the world's biggest fan of The Green Bastard, I really enjoy how many references I'm seeing to wrestlers from "parts unknown."

Adam Howe's "Rassle Hassle" is so great that I'm about to check to see if he's got any books out.

"I turned to see a tubby little guy wearing a Stars and Stripes stovepipe hat with matching jacket. Flakes of dandruff glittered on his shoulders as if Old Glory was shedding states."

I feel that you can really spot the difference between a writer who knows/cares about professional wrestling and a writer who just wanted to have something published.

The first story was written about America by a British guy who could've used a better language editor for that. Also a ton of hyphenated words that didn't need to be, although I admit "shitbird" is a personal choice.

'So what if I'm thirty years past my heyday? So what if I'm bent at the waist and nary a one of my toes face the same direction? So what if they’ve got my arms zip-tied behind me, and me strapped to this jacked-up dentist's chair? I could clean the room with these jokers if I had half a mind to.'

Time flies when you have fun... and when paragraphs are separated by giant illustrations.
