Selling a couple of the Walmart exclusive WWE Superstars figures. Roddy Piper and Bam Bam Bigelow. Brand new and sealed.

And hopefully, although he isn't a previous winner, the Big Boss Man - cos next year is definitely his year for the Rumble.

I was one of the authors of the book and Jeanie is a class act. Such a lovely lady and I was glad that she managed to survive the industry that almost dragged her under.

I think everyone may be reading a little too much into this. I'm not saying it's an impossibility, but Wrestlemania just generates far too much money for US cities. As we know they actively bid for it because of the amount of revenue it generates. I can't see London throwing that sort of money at it. London has a large number of hotels, but nowhere near the amount that US cities have. I regularly travel to the US for work and I see new hotels being built all the time. It interested me as to why they were doing it, and a local councillor told me it's because unless these cities have bed-space, concerts and sports events will bypass them in favour of other cities who can provide for out of towners. A lot of the time these hotels are pretty much sitting empty, but when an event comes into town that's when they make their money. London just doesn't have the same type of set-up in accommodation. It would mean people having to take rooms miles out of the city. Like I say, I don't think it's impossible, and in fact now it's more likely than ever because her whole time zone hang-up really isn't an issue, but I can't see that the finances and infrastructure in London would add up. And let's be honest, Sadiq is just trying to appeal to a new demographic - the NBA yes, already the MLB and NFL have had success on these shores, but he's just taken the biggest sports events in the US (and UK) and thrown them out there to make himself look hip and cool. The real key was mentioning the Superbowl - that piece of Americana is never going to be anywhere other than the US. I think Trips response is just a bit of fun - plus it gets Wrestlemania and WWE trending.

Tito Santana as World Champion. Heard this from several sources including Pritchard and Tito himself. It was supposedly going to happen in late 1991 because Vince wanted to expand into the latin markets. Utter bollocks if you ask me - they didn't add any extra latin stars in 1991 (or 1992 for that matter) and the only thing they did was make Tito more of a stereotype with the El Matador thing. With the talent they had in late '91 (Hogan, Savage, Undertaker, Flair etc.) I can't see this ever would've happened.

Cheap plug - you can get Jeanie's book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Through-Shattered-Glass-Jeanie-Clarke/dp/1530387019/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=387T82H4PD0RT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.eBVA0yfYQqcROHYTYYKXgQJIvDmJbV8z5GZlfyQVm74XepxhQzH6dX39pYbMcJKdci0Qxy1msiUcVycINhaP2kmqVwwqw0MaU9n21YHwpZZSn7BZNUTxNN4rMue44X1cX-hfgqkt-DggDx_xmXpxaT5hmOjW9XzBrI48MPzAue5FAsT5CrM-iMobzPNVopSvY-1ZpcKBjg8oL5svkeAbHA.ZnjKs4SigGY1oIObyEVhFX7YJdg9FIsGBTpQI1aRrwg&dib_tag=se&keywords=through+the+shattered+glass&qid=1713768746&sprefix=through+the+shattered%2Caps%2C1423&sr=8-1 Well worth a read. Jeanie reveals the truth behind quite a few big names.

Apparently as of the last hour or so - all of Vince McMahon’s remaining shares of the company are now listed for sale. Sounds like something may be coming.
