I can't think of a worse time to release a WWE book given the attitude of fans at the moment. TNA is almost 18 years old. It's time for a book.

It’s a completely valid question, Filthy Tom straight up asked him on their show if what he had written was based on research or just Bryan’s own memory, which is what ended up bringing up that funny story about the fact checker “correcting” something that was right.

That story came about because Tom gave him poo poo about some inaccuracies regarding pro wrestlers who also did MMA since Brian said it was just Bautista in the book. After naming a few guys who were shooters before entering pro wrestling, Brian poorly explained that he meant people who were strictly pro wrestlers who then went into MMA and won fights. Tom rattled off a few other wrestlers who did that. The book was written mostly from memory and fact checked by someone who did such a poor job and knew so little that they 'corrected' Terra Ryzing. It's undoubtedly got some inaccuracies.

100 Things WWE Fans Should Know And Do Before They Die is a bad concept because there is precisely one thing people should know (”WWE sucks”) and one thing they should do (”stop watching WWE”)

OK, cool. So the answer to that completely reasonable question is yeah, it’s got a lot of mistakes in it, mostly chronological stuff and little details, nothing that ruined the book for me really. The main problem with it as I was reading it was that I already knew most of the stuff, but that’s my fault for reading a book intended as a primer on a company I’ve been following for almost thirty years. That he was approached to do the book rather than coming up with it himself is fairly telling I think. I’m definitely interested in the publisher’s mindset because this seems poorly timed and I feel like the only people who’ll read it are F4W subscribers.

Russo started to go through his usual schtick of talking up how he made so many great changes then Piper cuts him off and lectures him for 30 minutes.

So like, I can see a cop coming over to ask him if he's okay, and a normal person would say "yeah, I'm just really tired and I didn't want to fall asleep while I was driving", but with Dave it would be a ten minute story. The cop would say "uh huh" a bunch and keep trying to turn to leave, but Dave would just keep talking and going off on tangents... That's just how I pictured that scenario in my head. I am very tired.

Dave would get into wrestling talk with the cop and then gush on WOL about how the cop was a big fan of Dick Murdoch, Lars Sullivan and the Harris twins.
