CRUSHERFEST PUSHED TO 2023, NEW BULLDOGS BOOK, MORE ARTIFACTS RESCUED FROM PWHF IN TEXAS & MORE

The International Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in Upstate New York is expected to receive six boxes of artifacts and memorabilia that have been rescued from the remnants of the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in Wichita Falls, Texas.  The abandonment of that material was nothing less than criminal in my eyes, so we should all be thankful the process of these items being extricated and returned is underway.  To date, there has been no comment from Johnny Mantel or anyone from his circle about why things got to this point:

The third annual Crusherfest, paying tribute to the AWA legend, has been pushed back to 6/3 and 6/4 in Milwaukee.  The event will not be taking place this summer due to improvements and construction being done in the South Milwaukee area.  For more details, click here: https://bit.ly/Crusherfest2023.

The Kindle version of Dynamite and Davey: The Explosive Lives of the British Bulldogs by Steven Bell is already available in advance of the 7/1 official release of the physical hardcover book.  Promotional details note, "Dynamite and Davey is the explosive story of cousins Tom Billington and Davey Boy Smith, who broke from their small town in the north of England to become global wrestling superstars. Together they became The British Bulldogs and tag team champions of the world. But their demons outmuscled them, and their tragedy outlasted their glorious triumphs."

Speaking of the IPWHF, they issued the following today:
