This week's Tales from The Territories on Vice TV will focus on the AWA.  Next week's will focus on Championship Wrestling from Florida.  11/1 will be Stampede Wrestling.  11/8 will be Polynesian Pro Wrestling.

Work on the Von Erichs movie is underway in Louisiana, including training in the ring for the lead actors.

Referee Dave Dwinell will be discussing his excellent memoir Ringman this Saturday 10/22 at 12 PM in Millbury, MA at the Asa Waters Mansion.  Dave has been a guest for interviews for PWInsider Elite several times and has some amazing stories about his time refereeing for the WWF and the NWA, so if you are local, it will be a fun time.

Post-production is still underway on Starz's season season of Heels including audio dubbing recording (ADR) for the lead actors.

The first season of Disney's Ultra Violet & Black Scorpion series is now streaming on Disney+  The plot - "Violet Rodriguez, an everyday Mexican American teen, is chosen by a magical luchador mask which transforms her into Ultra Violet, a superhero fighting crime alongside her luchador uncle, Cruz, also known as Black Scorpion."  The series debuted last June on the Disney Channel and as of yet, has not been announced for a second season.  There is actually not a lot of actual in-ring wrestling in the series.

For those who have asked about the Ken Patera autobiography, we are told the book is done but is still being edited and cleaned up.

The Bushwhackers' autobiography should be going to print shortly.
