Who does Sean Salsbury say the number one selection will be?

I really liked Robert Caro's Means of Ascent on LBJ...it covers his time in Congress in the '40s, his 'service' in WW2, and the incredibly corrupt Senate election of 1948.

Workingman's Blues 2 is some really good stuff.

Yeah...I'm enjoying this Modern Times material.

I really enjoyed his two most recent cds...and am downloading Modern Times, with high hopes, right now. I am looking forward to my attendance at the Madison show. Banky, I assume you've already listened to Modern Times?

Castillo fined/suspended... The Nevada State Athletic Commission, today threw the book at Jose Luis Castillo for not making the weight in his rubber match with Diego Corrales in June.Castillo was fined the maximum, $250,000 and had his boxing licensed suspended for the rest of the year. He will be eligible to reapply next year with the stipulation that he can't fight at less than 140 lbs. -fightnews.com

I don't even know why Steve Forbes is on that show...he's had numerous belts and opportunities for world titles.

Whatever scrub ESPN decides they like (as in Sergio Mora) will win. I don't really care enough about reality tv of any kind to have a desired choice.

That was dumb.

I remember how Hogan would always praise Andre (in dvds, Biographies, E Hollywood Stories, etc) for putting him over at Wrestlemania 3...but now, when its his time to put some new talent over, he reverts into a 13 year old mark.

Im guessing thats from Battlebowl, but only a guess. WCW had a great tag team division right up to their downfall.

I'll definitly be getting the Title History and Pillman dvds...and probably the Hogan walmart version.

Touching.

Thumbtacks are as bad for society as eight-year olds breastfeeding their boyfriends at the mall.

Someone has to tell Taker that wrestling is fake first.

I think its the second to last FNF of the year too.

PacMan is the only puncher comparable to Barrios in the 130s. Barrios really lifted his stock with his insane fight with Freitas a few years back (Barrios will smash him if they rematch) and has since massacred Mike Anchando and kod Nady in about 10 seconds. Barrios is an absolute beast.

Hopefully the Hollywood Blondes get their own dvd in the future.

Guzman hasnt been in the ring with anyone near Barrios' level. Barrios is one of the hardest punchers on the planet at that weight class...maybe THE hardest...and one of the toughest guys in boxing. Its a very intriguing matchup.

Bought ticket for Tool w/ Isis tonight.

I think Savage's career can be nutshelled with his Wrestlemania record... WM2 - An entertaining match with George Steele on an exceptionally bland card. 3 - MOTN (& Year for some) vs. Steamboat 4 - Fun matches with Butch Reed, Greg Valentine, and Oone Man Gang before going over in the MOTN w/ DiBiase 5 - MOTN with Hogan 6 - Match with Sherri vs. Dusty/Sapphire had the hottest crowd of the undercard 7 - MOTN vs. Warrior 8 - MOTN vs Flair 9 - Nothing 10 - A final cup of WWF coffee vs. Crush In a span of 6 Wrestlemanias from 1987 to 1992, Savage worked the MOTN in the biggest show of the year in 5. A pretty impressive stat.

Calm down, Czecharamu.

Soon-to-be additions to 'ecw'...Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Viscera, One Man Gang, Barry Horowitz, Brutus Beefcake, King Kong Bundy, Iron Mike Sharpe, the worst of the Spirit Squad, Mae Young, and Randy Orton.

But he makes so much money playing poker!
