I don't have them anymore, but I used to have a ton of PWI and its sister publications. My favorite letters were the ones about how this new heel in the WWF wasn't going to fall for Hogan's "Hulking Up" bit. Nosiree! When Hulk started to Hulk up, Harley Race, Ted DiBiase, or whoever it was, they were going to make the Hulkster look like a fool by jumping out of the ring and leaving him dumbfounded! These guys from the NWA/Mid-South were just too smart for that!

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I can kind of see what he's saying, that overexposing young talent in Your Match can be detrimental to them, but I think he's giving short shrift to the capability of these young wrestlers to adapt and rework their style and remain vital presences despite being known mainly for This Teen Can Dish It Out Main Event Style matches.

I agree that young wrestlers shouldn't wrestle too much. Every wrestler only has a limited number of matches they're allowed to wrestle in their lifetime and we don't want them using up too many of them while they're young and learning

Yes, interacting with the bad tweets by clicking on them makes Twitter think you like that kind of content. I guess a good reason to avoid touching the poop (or at least set up your Twitter feed to to stop it showing things it thinks you want to see)

Actually, Andrew Zarian seems to be the one who gets more information lately. Dave has some insight into the legitimate inner workings of WWE from his years reporting, but his sources have dried up as well.

But what do I know, I only pay to hear Craig give Bryan poo poo. Or Mark's once a year Rumble rant.
