By Mike Johnson on 2024-09-15 14:37:00

The Charleston Post & Courier's Mike Mooneyham has an excellent look back at the life and career of Gary Hart at this link.

El Paso Inc. featured a piece on former WWE star Cinta del Oro (the second Sin Cara) running lucha events in the city.

 

The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity will be staged in Milwaukee through October and in Fort Worth, Texas next month.  The play, which was nominated for a 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, was first produced in Chicago in 2009 and had runs Off-Broadway and in a number of other markets.  The production features a wrestling ring onstage as well as Titan-tron like screens for ring entrance videos, but is more focused on the backstage aspects of the business. A number of names that will be familiar to hardcore fans are name-dropped in the dialogue but one doesn't need to be a wrestling fan to understand or appreciate the drama of the story.  If you get the chance, I absolutely suggest seeing the show.

November 29 - Beyond NITRO: Untold Stories from the WCW era by Guy Evans

New WCW book solves nWo logo mystery, tells story of Dusty Rhodes in the world of motorsports + much more!

After several years of development, Guy Evans' long-awaited follow-up book to NITRO is set for release on 11/29. 

Famously, Evans' original book provided the inspiration for the recent Who Killed WCW series on VICE TV, and in his new book - Beyond Nitro: Untold Stories from the WCW era - he returns with an array of incredible untold stories, engrossing personal profiles, and detailed reflections on the enduring legacy of WCW.

Always engaging - and frequently revelatory - the stories featured in Beyond Nitro are interspersed with additional chapters on a wide variety of incisive subjects, including the importance of WCW to fans in the South, the 'dream match' that never was, and a look at wrestling nostalgia in its contemporary form. 

Some of the questions answered in Beyond Nitro include:

  • Who REALLY designed the iconic nWo logo?
  • How did a teenage WWF fan get on WCW payroll?
  • What (or who) is the unlikely thread connecting WCW...and the CIA???
  • How did Dusty Rhodes - at the height of the Monday Night Wars, no less - become an announcer for...*checks notes* swamp buggy racing in Florida?
  • What was the story behind a filmed WCW vs. nWo vignette which never made air?
  • Why exactly did Hollywood Hogan wrestle at a private event, circa 1997, in the red-and-yellow as HULK Hogan?
  • What explains the public's continued fascination with WCW - and the Monday Night Wars in general?
  • What was the secret 'ambush meeting' in 1999 which caused serious personal and professional repercussions for one party?
  • Whose set of previously unpublished communications shine new light on the chaos of WCW, circa 2000-01?

And much, much, much more!!!

Informed by the same attention to facts, research, analysis, drama and detail which made NITRO a bestseller, Beyond Nitro is finally here.

It's a simply sensational sequel!
