EUGENE LAUNCHING ONE MAN SHOW, GREAT PRICE ON ORIGINAL SHEIK BOOK, NEW PRO WRESTLING COMIC, SWERVE VS. RUBY & MORE

The former Eugene, Nick Dinsmore, is going into comedy, telling stories from his career and life.

Blood and Fire: The Unbelievable Real-Life Story of Wrestling’s Original Sheik is currently on sale on Kindle for $5.39, which is an INSANELY awesome price for such a great book.

My old pal Todd Matthy (Robots vs. Princesses) has several days left on his Kickstarter campaign for a new pro wrestling comic Disciple, which will feature elements of mythology and horror.  The premise:

Yesterday, Jesse Sampson was on top of the world. He is debuting with the Championship Wrestling Council. Today, his dreams are shattered. His girlfriend dumped him for another man and the CWC is portraying him as a loser. Enter Mars, the God of War, who grants him the ability to manipulate emotions. As his popularity grows so does Mars’ influence, and with television, the internet, and social media, that influence reaches dangerous levels.

DISCIPLE is AMERICAN GODS crossed with WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW: A bombastic, high stakes, heavy metal epic involving a faustian pact where consequences play out in both the real world and fantasy world of professional wrestling. The heart of the story is the struggle between letting someone go and trying to hold on to them. 

Readers will see the cutthroat politics of professional wrestling. They will watch fantasy bleed into reality with explosive consequences. They will be directly asked the question of whether or not a performer is responsible for the actions of their fans.

The Kickstarter has been fully funded and is currently offering a number of stretch goals in its final days.  For more details, click here.
