Val Venis In Phoenix
Add Val Venis/Sean Morley to the list of wrestlers who migrated into the Phoenix area to live, such as Honky-tonk Man, Kevin Nash and others.
Venis, seems more intent on political activism, so to speak, as well as for the reformation of marijuana laws. He has created a huge following on Facebook and Twitter. He still does matches as well and takes bookings.

Hit Man By Bret Hart
The book has been out for a while now, but may still be found. The autobiography of Bret Hart and much of what is said could be questioned, just as it is with any pro wrestler writing on himself. Still, what is presented makes for an interesting read.
Oddly enough, Hart mentions WWF shows in Phoenix and an interesting encounter with Arizona's grand dirty old woman, Princess Tona Tomah. At long last, the mystery of who made the cartoons of Tomah having sex with Jay Strongbow in the Fairgrounds Coliseum locker room is revealed.
The infamous Montreal Screw Job is dealt with at length, but again, one has to realize how one sided this viewpoint is going to be. Still, an unusual read.
The book is worth a look if you have not seen it yet. Long forgotten people such as Paddy Ryan and Kasavubu show up in print, along with The Stomper, The Sheepherders (Bushwhackers), Frenchy Martin and many more.
The death of a Canadian wrestler via heart attack after a match in Puerto Rico is almost as alarming as the fatal mishap with Owen Hart.
Worth checking out.

Dover, Ohio Display
For those living in Ohio, check out the wrestling memorabilia display at the Dover Library, across from the high school, up for the month of October.
The display features a Blue Demon doll form the 1960s, old programs, a copy of Wrestling in Akron, old issues of The ear and Wrestling Then & Now, 1950s trading cards, a mask from indy wrestler Mr. Cock A Doodle Doo who is on the current indy scene, old fliers from around the USA and a signed Mil Mascaras 8by10.
Many of the people who worked Ohio also worked Arizona in promotional/territorial times to escape the snow in the winters.
