I just bought this, anyone know if it’s any good?:

Mondo Lucha A Go-Go: The Bizarre and Honorable World of Wild Mexican Wrestling by Dan Madigan

Lucha Libre wrestling is nothing short of a phenomenon. Its inescapable visuals have completely permeated the mainstream, and its popularity grows exponentially every year, expanding out from Latin America to hold the entire world in its vise–grip. Dan Madigan will provide the ultimate guide for Lucha fans, in an awesome four–color book that will be undoubtedly informative and incredibly entertaining. Posters, photos, wrestling cards, handbills, mementos will be featured throughout the book. Personal recollections, quotes, stories and memories of Luchador’s lives and experiences will provide the backdrop for a completely unique experience in sports.

Eric Bischoffs book inspired me to watch Bash at the Beach 2000 again, featuring the now-famous Vince Russo shoot on Hogan.

Fuck, what a terrible show. Vampiro and the Demon in a graveyard match? Miss Hancock and Daphne? Buff? Goldber? Terrible.

The Russo episode still holds up though. I remember watching it live and being pretty shocked and that feeling came back again. One of the more infamous moments in wrestling history.

Had a good time in Calgary, the christening was good (I think) and it was good to see all the family even though having ALL the kids together can be a little trying.

I did however have an awesome supper Saturday, my mom pulled out all the stops with turkey, stuffing, cabbage rolls, the works. It was awesome.

Too bad the Flames lost…. Again.

Just getting ready to go to the Christening, PWA on Friday was a pretty solid show with a lot of goings on including:

-The return of Brady Roberts.

-Dusty Adonis came up short in a loser leaves PWA match against Scotty Putty. Dusty is one of the most talented and entertaining guys we have had in PWA in quite some time, he will be missed.

-Drew Dalby fired Lucas Drago from Team Esteem after Drago inadvertantly cost his team to lose to Punishment and Strife.

-Dalby the subsequently had his head shaved by Brutus the Barber Beefcake, much to the delight of Mr. Drago.

-In the main event, Marky Mark, Phoenix Taylor and Michael Avery took it to the limit in a TLC match for the Mayhem Title. The dvd of this will be a must see as these 3 athletes risked life abnd limb and pulled out all the stops to win the strap, the untimate victor being Phoenix Taylor. It was pretty incredible.

Well, I am currently at NAIT waiting for Christmas Slam to begin, to officially launch the WrestleChristen weekend.

Tommorow morning all 4 of us are on the way to Calgary for my nephews christening. I have no idea what that is but we're invited so away we go…..
