In case you’ve never heard of it, this is the site you all should be using for your news, results etc. I’m a staff member over there and handle all the live coverage and results, plus a weekly old school review and the column you see here. The staff is very smart and does things well and you can find some awesome podcasts and video features over there. Check these guys out and start using them more often. It’s where I get a lot of my news and I know the staff there works very, very hard at what they do.

New Column: Better To Be Stupid Than Unemployed
Why being a comedy character is better than nothing.
This time we talk some TNA demise (this year’s version at least), Payback and Elimination Chamber with some fantasy booking, some what if scenarios and a nice ride through the Georgia countryside.
We’re back after NorCal’s work schedule has cleaned up. Tonight we talk about Takeover, the NXT house show NorCal went to and a good discussion on the territory system and why the future looks bright.
New E-Book: KB’s History Of Monday Nitro Volume III (Including Thunder!)
When we last left WCW, they were the undisputed kings of the Monday Night Wars and that’s certainly still the case as they come into 1998. Things were so good that they decided to more than double the amount of television they were airing per week. To say this might have been too much too soon is an understatement but WCW had done stupider stuff before.
In this book, I’ll be looking at every episode of Monday Nitro and Thunder from January through June of 1998. This is the time where the Monday Night Wars finally started to get competitive again after nearly two years of being completely one sided. Having two shows a week was a fresh idea as well, making this a very important time in wrestling history. As usual I’ll be providing play by play, historical context and analysis of every show.
Also remember that I’ve already covered 1995-1997 Monday Nitro in case you don’t want to jump right into the later stuff. Both books are available from my Amazon author page.
The books runs over 300 pages on a Kindle and only costs $3.99, or the equivalent in other currencies. If you don’t have a Kindle or e-book reader, there are several FREE apps you can use to read it on pretty much any electronic device. You can find those from Amazon here.
Or if you’re in another country with its own Amazon page, just search “KB Nitro 1998” and my book will be the first thing that pop up.
Also you can still get any of my previous books on the WWE Championship, Monday Night Raw from 1998 and 2001, Monday Nitro from 1995-97, In Your House, Summerslam, Starrcade, ECW Pay Per Views, Royal Rumble, Saturday Night’s Main Event, the WWF and WCW pay per views from 1998 and Clash of the Champions at my author’s page here.
I hope you like it and shoot me any questions you might have.

New Column: Knock, And The Chamber Shall Be Opened
Looking at the Elimination Chamber and what it’s return means, plus how it connects to NXT.
Featuring me talking about a house show I went to earlier tonight, a very good opening rant on Vince Russo (the classics never die), and of course a discussion of 3 Count.
