Cauliflower Club, Brets New Novel, Midnight Express Book, and more
Jim Ross Comments on this weeks event and some unwhat disappointing ones to:
-I wish I had not waited so long to attend a Cauliflower Alley Club (CAC) event. That’s the simplest way to sum up my experience this week in Las Vegas attending the 43rd CAC Reunion and renewing old friendships, making new ones and paying respect to the many men and women who paved the way for so many of us to earn a living in the wrestling business.
-Bret is looking at writing a novel, not about wrestling, and is headed to Rome to do some research on his concept. He told me some of his ideas which I will keep close to the vest for the time being but needless to say I was interested as I am a fan of the genre of which Bret intends to write. The Hitman physically looked excellent and is working out post stroke and it shows. No, Bret doesn’t have one more match left in him and I don’t think that he has any real regrets about that fact. I do think that Bret’s current book, a must read for any wrestling fan, without fail, has the chops to possibly be a compelling TV series, specifically on premium cable, as the colorful characters and the journey Bret has been on since day one is pretty amazing when one looks at the total number of “miles traveled”. And his journey is far from over. Bottom line is that the Hawaiian life style seems to be agreeing with the Hitman who was genuinely interested in our J.R.’s BBQ concept and how we have organized it so , unlike so many of our peers, yours truly doesn’t stumble and fall while losing my hard earned savings in the process. Bret is going to make a donation of some authentic Bret Hart “swag” for us to proudly display on our restaurant walls but he said he was going to surprise me with his selection. I can’t wait.
-BTW Jim Cornette is working on a Midnight Express book as we speak which is likely to be a classic and featured documentable info and some of the most amazing photos in it one can imagine. JC kept a diary of every match he ever participated in his entire career, who was in the match, what the outcome was, how much he earned, how many miles he traveled to get there, etc. Plus Corney’s photo collection may be the best kept secret in the world of wrestling.
