They say you can’t judge a book by the cover. That doesn’t apply in this case because I know this book has to be AWESOME!
Thanks to my amazing wife for pre ordering this months ago.
Now, do I remove the shrink wrap or leave it sealed? Thoughts?

Charlie Sheen reveals the time he spent $7,000 on 2,200 seats to catch a Cecil Fielder home run
“That was April 1996. I did it for Cecil Fielder. In Anaheim at the Big A”
“I called because I wanted to sit in that section. They said, ‘Well, that section’s closed. It’s an underattended game.’ I said, ‘Okay, what about this? How many seats are in that section?’”
“They were like, ‘Uh, 2,200.’ And I said, ‘What if I wanted to buy all of them? What kind of break could you cut me? What kind of deal could you swing?’ I think it came out to something like $7,000”
“It was left field. I wanted to force the hand of the baseball gods and not just catch a foul ball, but catch a home run ball. I figured if I’ve got the entire left-field stands with a couple buddies of mine, I’ve stacked the deck”
“We were hammered. We barely made it to the game. There’s also a great shot in Sports Illustrated of me standing like this with a glove and the empty stands behind me”
“We didn’t catch anything that night. And the next night, not just in that section, but in our seats, four home runs were hit. You can’t force the hand of the baseball gods”
June 6, 1987: Ladies and gentleman, Jim Cornette introduces to you, The Midnight Express. The US Tag Champs struggle through Jackie Crockett's camerawork and make to the ring to face George South & Gary Royal. To open the match, Jim once again invites himself to join commentary.
🔥 THE MOMENT THAT CHANGED WRESTLING FOREVER.
Before the segment even began, Vince McMahon appeared on screen and cautioned viewers about what they were about to witness.
What followed would become one of the most infamous moments in wrestling history.
In 1984, @R_Roddy_Piper welcomed Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka onto Piper's Pit... and the wrestling world would never be the same 😳
A coconut.
A sneak attack.
And the launch of one of the hottest feuds of the Rock 'n' Wrestling Era.
This wasn't just another interview segment.
This was the moment Roddy Piper became wrestling's most hated villain and Jimmy Snuka became one of its biggest heroes.
The crowd was shocked.
The wrestling world was talking.
And professional wrestling had found one of its defining moments.
More than 40 years later, fans still remember exactly where they were when they saw it.
