First off…the A1wrestling portal, which has had my PWBTS.com site as one of its wrestling news sites for several years has a new owner and has now relocated addresses to A1-wrestling.com. Check it out at its new address.
The Phantom of the Ring
Phantom – Preaching to the Choir
.The Phantom reviews Drawing Heat the Hard Way By Larry Matysik, ECW Press, 259 pp., paper, $19.95.
Larry Matysik, author of Wrestling at the Chase, tantalizes us with a new book, which, despite its title, is actually “The Wrestling World According to Larry Matysik.”
And what’s wrong with that? Matysik is a joy to read and one can take comfort that he knows whereof he speaks, having been in the business in some form or another since 1964, mostly working for Sam Muchnick, the Poobah of St. Louis and President of the NWA during its glory years.

Michael Barton Talks About…
“The Turning of Jeff Hardy”
With Bound For Glory in the rearview mirror, TNA has some interesting storylines that should be (and need to be) addressed on Impact this Thursday. The most significant one, of course, is the heel turn of Jeff Hardy during the main event championship match at BFG. While this turn was certainly surprising, I think – once again – TNA had made a major mistake. Please give me a few moments of your time to explain why I stand where I do in regards to this matter.
The most common comparison in regards to this turn by Hardy has been with Hulk Hogan, who shockingly turned at WCW’s Bash at the Beach show in July of 1996. There are major differences, however, between Hogan and Hardy.
Host Alan Wojcik is joined weekly by national contributors plus members of the Wild Talk Radio roster like Spug, Mase, Sir Rockin & Tim Stein. Topics will include: recaps of last Thursdays live TNA Wrestling’s iMPACT on Spike TV and breakdowns of the craziness that was Bound for Glory 2010. Plus Monday Night RAW & thoughts on Friday Night Smackdown thoughts as WWE heads to Bragging Rights and news from around the Indy scene.
SUPER HUGE INTERVIEW NIGHT!!!
