Does anyone else want to see another book?

How about RD? Blade?

I have the first three and I would really like to see a few more. I'd love to see a book dedicated to what works in Professional Wrestling and/or the Independents. While I know there's little interest in a website detailing with the great things in wrestling, you guys are the only ones who have been able to span the promotions with any level of credibility.

Need I remind you of: "An Idiot's Guide to Pro-Wrestling"? No one want's to believe that the late, great Captain Lou Albano was responsible for that... "work" (take it as you read it, I think Lou knew what he was doing when he wrote the book.). Even Blade's "Revenge of the Black Scorpion" had more credibility.

I enjoy the wit and humor, but there's a lot of wisdom towards the industry to be found in all three of your books, RD and I'd like to see more.

As an aside: I would love it if you and Blade could synergize Wrestlecrep with WWE. Just imagine a WWE 24/7 broadcast:

Wrestlecrap and WWE Present: The Worst in Wrestling

It could showcase the history of pro-wrestling and allow great workers who were saddled with TERRIBLE Gimmicks, like Mike Shaw, to get some limelight, maybe even a interview spot on the episode.

Vince has the library, you guys have the knowledge and wit, this should sell itself... Realistically, what harm can you guys do to his creative team's reputations that they haven't done already and won't do again???

*sigh* A man can dream, can't he?

Ah well, think about writing another book or twelve, I really enjoy your work and gladly support you every opportunity I get. I've been coming to the site since late 1999 and it's just about required reading for me.

Thanks for all the laughs over the years.

Hey bro, thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed all the books we've cranked out.

I will say I've had a few ideas for another book I could write, one which would be unique from all the other "standard wrestler bios" out there, but honestly, my personal life is kind of hectic at the moment, and I couldn't take on the task of completing a book at present time. I would like to see my name on a spine again, though, so who knows what a year or so may do.

BTW, I think if I wrote/drew a picture book about Revenge Of The Scorpion it would sell more copies than The Idiot's Guide To Pro Wrestling did.

I *ahem* know of someone *ahem* who'd make *ahem* a good pinch-hitter *ahem* in the writing department *ahem*.

FWIW, I've quite enjoyed the books that RD and Blade have written/co-written, so I would like to see more.

I'd love to see a book just written from your guys' perspectives on working in the indy business. None of you really made it huge (Except for the legend Brother Midnight), but you honestly seem like you've had a good time working it. Maybe even get something going with Bryan Alverez as well.

Hell, a BIOGRAPHY on all the "journalists" in wrestling would be kinda interesting. Look at Dave Meltzer's life, etc.

If I cannot get a "How to Trashbag" book I will riot.

How about "Wrestlecrap Radio: The Book" featuring all the great moments...in book form.

A book on the independent business would be extremely interesting. Imagine taking a look at the independents that are run by old veterans, like Skandar Akbar, Harley Race, "Killer" Tim Brooks and Killer Kowalski. Or how the independents cannibalisticly feed on each other (at least they do in Texas) for fan base... Or a look at the various indy workers and how they survive, maybe even a who's who, to increase exposure.

Both of you have experience in the indies, so I would imagine it would be a "near and dear" project for you.

Just a suggestion.
