First, yes, I’m going. It’s close to my house and honestly it’s my hometown. I hate the hometown. Anyway, Hunter James is the focal character of the new nonfiction book “rough house” by Alison Lynn Miller. It’s a chronicle of the very low level pro wrestling that is still common as dirt across the south, particularly in Georgia.
Noticed that Kids under ten get in free. These are very much family affairs.

“Trainees who put in the work can expect to perform within a year. But it takes about four years for it to really click, Azrael says. “There’s a lot of process to take in,” he explains. “Psychology of the crowd, telling a story, being safe with the moves.”

I submitted requests for purchase for both of these. For interlibrary loan, the books have to be out for at least a year.
The odds of getting the wrestling book (Rough House) are pretty good. Mages and Modems not so good (since its self published). But they will try....
I do have two books to get through interlibrary loan. I’m not sure when I will find a time to read them. But I’m not gonna let that detail slow me.
Book 1: Mages & Modems: A Childhood Well-Wasted in the Golden Age of Personal Computers, Games, and Internet Piracy.

Roman Reigns?
Really? Roman Reigns.
The dude is in great shape, but he's way past his prime and going gray, and this is the guy who's going to main event Wrestlemania?
He should be hanging out in AEW with Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley.
More boring writing from the WWE. Need to quit with the reruns and push their younger talent.
