  3. Has anyone read "When it was Big Time" by Rock Rims"? It's a history of wrestling in California and looks very interesting.

  5. Stan Hansen's autobiography has a lot of material about Japan, but mostly from the 70s and 80s. I would have loved to have read more about the 90s All Japan scene. This is a very good book and I recommend it. I have not read it, but Lion's Pride is about the history of New Japan. I heard you probably would not learn much if you are already a fan of the product. I thought the Ring of Hell chapter on Japan was very interesting, but like the rest of the book, it is not a pleasant read and almost makes you feel ashamed to watch wrestling. Also, Total MMA has a nice history of the beginnings of MMA and the Japan influence, especially with UWF, Pride, etc. Great book for MMA fans. There may be other books on Japan, but those stand out for me.

  7. I recently read Bill DeMott's book, "The Last Laugh." He was very honest about his drug use and there are some interesting stories, but there is no analysis of the industry and he really comes across as a dumb person. For instance, he signed all his contracts without reading them and to this day does not understand how WWE's downside contacts work. This book is on the lower end of the Scott Teal books.
  8. Dean Silverston's book is very good, especially if you enjoyed the outlaw territory aspects of Drawing Heat, as it it describes his efforts to run a promotion in the Seattle area. One of the better Scott Teal books, in my opinion.

  14. I haven't seeen the complete show in years, but I recall Steamboat/Blanchard from Starrcade '84 being really good. Flair/Steamboat from the Boogie Jam was also quite good, although not at the level of some of their more famous matches. Also would add the Iron Sheik/Slaughter matches from May and June, both of which were excellent. Will need to think about Japan matches.
