Rick Martel would be good. Worked in most major promotions, worked in Canada and America, has a unique personal story with taking time off on several occasions because of his wife's health. And seems to have come through it all on the other side to have a normal life. He seems like he'd have a unique and reasoned take on the wrestling business.

Scott Steiner. And I want it on tape. Man... part of me wants to listen to Scott Steiner reading his own words. Another part of me wants to hear Scott Steiner's words read by Werner Herzog. Just imagine it. If we could raise like $400, they'd probably do it.

He also was wrestling in Madison Square Garden when John Lennon was shot.

I would love to see one by One Man Gang. Started when he was 17, was main eventing against Hogan at house shows ten years later, and was gone from the mainstream of the business before he was 40, relying almost solely on the nostalgia circuit after that. Worked just about every major territory, rode with guys like Akbar, Gary Hart and Kevin Sullivan. Was the top guy in UWF when it went national. The racially-charged Akeem gimmick and Slick pairing. Took up his former partner's real life occupation as a prison guard after retiring. Rebuilding after losing everything to a natural disaster. Dude has a story to tell somewhere in all that. Don't forget OMG suffering a career ending injury a few years ago.

Hearing Herzog recite Steiner catchphrases would almost be worth it Werner Herzog: The rules for the humans are do not disturb or hold up the penguin. Stand still and let him go on his way. And here, he's heading off into the interior of the vast continent. With 5,000 kilometers ahead of him, he's heading towards certain death. He is on a quest to find something finer than Scott Steiner. Also Werner Herzog: IWA: Mid-South has climate-controlled housing facilities, its own radio station, a bowling alley, and abominations such as an aerobic studio and yoga classes. It even has a pizza oven.

Undertaker would be good, 18 years in the same company. Seen it all from Hulkamania to the present day. Think there's a chance we might get one as long as he doesn't take his commitment to not breaking kayfabe into retirement.

Did piper ever write a book? If not, his would have been amazing.
I wish Hogan wrote a real tell all and not a hokey somewhat kayfabe brown noser book like we got.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Terry Funk. Wrestled everywhere, had experiences no one else will ever have and probably has stories about just about every major name from the past 50 years.

I would imagine Howard Finkel has some pretty cool stories to tell.

Think there's a chance we might get one as long as he doesn't take his commitment to not breaking kayfabe into retirement. Came in to say Undertaker. Mark Callaway has seen so much cool eventful stuff in his lifetime that it'd be awesome to get his perspective. How he first broke in, the turn of events which led to WCW releasing him, how the Undertaker character came about, what the backstage and business environment was like throughout the 90's, how he dealt with the Kliq, what the transition to the Attitude Era felt like, how he felt about things like the Inferno Match or the Mick Foley Hell in a Cell match, how WWE transitioned to its current era, etc.
