“What if it don’t draw, baby?”

That was Jimmy Hart a couple of nights before this appearance yesterday.

Jimmy called wanting to know everything about the event. What were they doing for the fans? What else was advertised? What kind of entertainment would be there?

I told him about the wrestling, the pyrotechnics and fireworks, his meet and greet—all of it.

Jimmy wanted to know because he was already thinking about how he could help promote the entire event, not simply himself.

“If it’s just me and fireworks, what if it don’t draw, baby?”

Think about that for a second.

This is Jimmy Hart. WWE Hall of Famer. The Mouth of the South. A man who has been drawing money and entertaining people for more than half a century. And his concern was whether the promoter who booked him was going to have a successful event.

That tells you a lot about Jimmy Hart.

What none of us could have known when we made the booking was what the weekend leading into it would become.

Jimmy had already had an emotional and incredibly busy week. Sun Records had just released It’s Been So Long, a collection of rare and previously unreleased recordings from The Gentrys—bringing Jimmy’s life in music full circle more than five decades later.

And then, at 3:30 Sunday morning, “Superstar” Bill Dundee passed away.

Jimmy and Bill were forever connected through Memphis wrestling. Just weeks earlier, Jimmy, Bill and Jerry Lawler had been together again. Bill was still making towns, still seeing the fans and still surrounded by the wrestling family that helped build one of the greatest territories our business has ever known.

Hours after losing his friend, Jimmy Hart had another town to make.

And he made it.

He showed up at Painesville Speedway. He met the fans. He entertained them. He gave the people who brought him in exactly the Jimmy Hart experience they had been promised.

And somewhere along the way, somebody decided it was a good idea to give The Mouth of the South the button for the pyrotechnics.

Jimmy hit it.

The sky exploded behind him.

And judging by these pictures, even Jimmy wasn’t completely prepared for what happened next. 😂

There is something fitting about these photos, though.

On one of the hardest days imaginable, Jimmy Hart was still out there doing what people from his generation of wrestling have always done:

He made the town.

Maybe yesterday, more than most days, that meant something.

One of the last things Bill Dundee did was make the town himself. Jimmy did the same Sunday, carrying a heavy heart with him but never putting that burden on the fans who had come to see him.

That’s professionalism. But more importantly, that’s Jimmy Hart.

And I want to personally thank Nick Carmigiano and his entire team at Painesville Speedway. They drew a great crowd, they treated Jimmy like a million bucks, and everything about the event was handled first class. Nick was an absolute pleasure for me to work with from start to finish. He communicated, did everything he said he would do, took care of Jimmy, and made my end of the job easy. When you’re sending someone you care about into somebody else’s hands, that means a lot. I’m forever grateful to Nick and his team for the way they handled this booking.

And our thanks to Jimmy.

Not simply for making another Book Pro Wrestlers booking successful, but for continuing to remind us why, after all these years, promoters still want Jimmy Hart in their building and fans are still happy when they see him walk through the door.

The Mouth of the South made the town.

Just like he always does.

To inquire about booking talent, shoot me a DM.

“Abby wanted me to share that he loves all of his fans, and he appreciates all the love and prayers you send.”

— Aubrey Burke

After church on Sunday, Aubrey and his wife, Chelsea, drove roughly three hours to Atlanta to spend the afternoon with Larry Shreve, known around the world as Abdullah the Butcher. They remained at Abby’s bedside for nearly three hours, talking about God, family, wrestling and the bond they have built over the past four years. Before leaving, they joined hands and prayed with him.

They also brought Abby something made entirely from the heart: an enormous photo collage filled with memories of the time Abby, Queen Malikah, Aubrey and Chelsea have shared together. It captured hospital visits, conventions, friends, laughter and four years of a friendship that has grown into family.

When they revealed it, Abby began to cry. Aubrey and Chelsea cried with him. Abby told them it was the best gift he had received in a long time.

During their visit, Abby also told Aubrey and Chelsea that their faith and example as youth ministers had encouraged him to pray more and grow closer to God. For Aubrey, hearing that meant even more than Abby’s reaction to the gift.

Afterward, Aubrey and Chelsea attended WWE Sunday Night Main Event, where they caught up with Queen Malikah and Chico. Aubrey gave Chico one of their souvenir event chairs—one more gesture in a day built around faith, friendship and taking care of the people you love.

Abby is still recovering and fighting like the champion he is. We sincerely thank Aubrey and Chelsea for making the trip, spending that time with him, lifting his spirits and allowing Book Pro Wrestlers to share these photographs and this encouraging update.

Queen Malikah visits our page and reads many of your comments to Abby. That makes this an opportunity to speak directly to Abdullah the Butcher. If you have a memory, a prayer, a thank-you or simply a few words of love for Abby, please leave them below for Malikah to share with him. And let’s not forget Queen Malikah - no one works harder with our beloved Abby. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers also.

Let’s make this comment section something special for Abby to hear.

“Andre’s Labor Day BBQ, 1983. A private meeting was held earlier in the day with Andre, Vince Sr., Jim Barnett, Eddie Graham and maybe a couple others. The evening was spent with a BBQ and fire. Some notes here… Andre always loved to be the one who got the fire going and tended to it.”

“Local friends joined the party along with Rene Goulet and his wife, Gino Brito and his wife, Pat Patterson and Louie, Vince and Juanita McMahon and Frenchy and Jackie. Andre is also seen with Bronco, one of their dogs. One can only imagine the fun and stories that were shared that evening.” - Chris Owens

That’s Labor Day, wrestling style. The biggest names in the business handling their meetings during the day, then stepping outside into the woods at night to share food, drinks, and stories by the fire. Andre laughing, tending the flames, enjoying the company of the people who knew him best.

Moments like these remind us that behind the arenas, the lights, and the legend—Andre was happiest around friends, a fire, and a good meal.

HAPPY LABOR DAY EVERYONE! 🎉🎈🍔

“Bobby Eaton and Bill Dundee came into our local grocery store Compton’s Foodland on Smith Springs Rd here in Nashville all the time. Bobby was married to Dundee’s daughter. My wife worked there, and I was like, why haven’t you told me that Beautiful Bobby Eaton was a regular customer?

She told Bobby that her husband really would like to meet him, and he came back that Friday just to meet me. Everyone said that was all I talked about for weeks. Plus Bobby signed this for me.”

That’s who Bobby Eaton was.

Not just one of the kindest, most respected wrestlers to ever step into a ring… but the kind of man who would come back to a grocery store—on his own time—just to make sure a fan got their moment.

And standing there with him… “Superstar” Bill Dundee, a legend in his own right, part of a generation that built this business town by town, fan by fan.

Just a real life memory that will last a lifetime.

Joe Laurinaitis becomes Road Warrior Animal.

I remember the first time that I seen Animal paint his face. It was early in the day and we had checked into a hotel in Minneapolis. We had a mid day news appearance to promote the upcoming event.

He called me and asked me to come to his room so we could leave from there. He opened the door and only had part of his face painted. After letting me in, he continued painting his face in the bathroom with the door open.

It was amazing to see one of the all time great face painted wrestlers painting up his face. I mean you know it has to be done but still after all those years of The Road Warriors, it was crazy to see him doing that part of the process.

Long live The Road Warriors.

I was 18 years old in these pictures.

My little brother Nick Fury and I were feuding over the APW Tag Team Titles. Wahoo McDaniel had gotten involved in our angle, and every weekend we were wrestling and shooting television for a local public-access station.

The year was 2000, and we thought we were trying to get somewhere.

That’s what you think about at that age. Making it. Getting noticed. Getting a break. Wondering if wrestling might take you to WWE or WCW, or if somebody important might see that little television show you were doing.

Looking at these pictures 26 years later, I realize how little any of that mattered compared to what we actually had.

My brother and I were young and healthy. We were wrestling together every weekend. So many of the people we loved were still alive. So many of the people we worked with were still here. There were phone calls we hadn’t received yet, losses we hadn’t experienced yet and things about life we simply couldn’t understand at 18.

We didn’t know how lucky we were.

I’ve had opportunities in wrestling since then that the kid in these pictures would have been thrilled to know were coming. I’ve worked with people I once watched on television. I’ve built Book Pro Wrestlers into something I’m incredibly proud of. Wrestling is still part of my life all these years later.

But I’d give that 18-year-old kid one piece of advice.

Quit worrying so much about where all of this is going.

Look around.

Your little brother is standing beside you. You’re both healthy. You’re doing what you love every weekend, and most of the people you love are still here.

You already made it.
You just don’t know it then.

“I got to meet Chris Masters and it's still one of the best experiences ever.

We live in a stupidly small rural area and he took the time to still visit and shoot the breeze with us.

He spelled my name wrong at first and i joked I'd just change my name to it and he just gave me that print and one with my correct name- and to top it off since I was the first one there he helped picked the best lighting spot for our selfie together.

We talked about our shared love of HBK and about the very few places to eat here. I joke that he's one of my besties now lol.”

At some point, you stop asking who Kev Soni has met and start asking who he hasn’t.

Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Roddy Piper, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Ted DiBiase, Michael Hayes, Bray Wyatt, Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, The Usos, Logan Paul, Tiffany Stratton, Chelsea Green, Dakota Kai — and I’m still leaving a lot of people out.

These are just ten of the photographs Kev has shared with us, and even this small group tells you how ridiculous the depth of his collection really is. You’ve got Vince and Stephanie McMahon, Michael Hayes, The Undertaker, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul and Tiffany Stratton all in one batch. Different generations, different roles, different eras of the business.

Then you hear the numbers.

18 WrestleManias. 11 Royal Rumbles. 13 SummerSlams.

That’s 42 of WWE’s biggest events before you even begin counting everything else Kev has attended over the years. He hasn’t just followed wrestling from a distance. He’s spent a huge part of his life showing up for it, and the pictures reflect that.

That’s probably what I like most about his collection. Look at some of the older photos and then compare them to the newer ones. The business changed. The stars changed. WWE changed. Kev just kept showing up.

I’ve known Kev for years through Book Pro Wrestlers, where he became one of our regular contributors and has shared some really special pieces from his collection with us. This past WrestleMania weekend, we were both in town on business and finally had the chance to meet in person, which was really cool after knowing each other through the page for so long.

That’s one of the things I appreciate most about what this page has become. Some of the people who started out as names in the comments or readers sending me photos have turned into contributors, friends and people I’ve actually had the chance to meet along the way.

And Kev’s collection is a perfect example of why I enjoy sharing reader material so much.

Anybody can pull up a picture of The Undertaker online. This is Kev’s picture with The Undertaker. His picture with Vince. His picture with Stephanie. His picture with Michael Hayes. His memories, his travels and his history as a wrestling fan.

After 18 WrestleManias, 11 Royal Rumbles and 13 SummerSlams, he’s got one hell of a wrestling story to tell.

And somehow, this is only Part Two.

Thank you, Kev, for being a longtime reader, contributor and friend of Book Pro Wrestlers, and for continuing to let us share pieces of a collection that seems to have just about everybody in it.

July 1993, Vienna, Austria — Hulk Hogan’s final WWF run in Europe.

What you’re looking at here isn’t just Hulk Hogan at a house show… this is the final chapter of Hulkamania in the WWF.

By this point, everything had already happened. Hogan shocked the world at WrestleMania IX, walked out as champion, and then dropped the title right back to Yokozuna at King of the Ring. That would end up being his last WWF pay-per-view match for nearly a decade. But behind the scenes, there was a bigger plan.

The WWF put the belt on Hogan one more time for a reason—to take him overseas and sell out Europe on the strength of his name alone. And it worked.

This tour in late July into early August 1993 was built around one thing: Hogan chasing Yokozuna for the WWF Championship night after night. Vienna, Germany, Scotland, England… packed buildings everywhere. The formula didn’t change, and it didn’t need to.

The music hits. The shirt comes off. The pose. One last time.

Hogan fires up, Yokozuna uses his size to take over, Mr. Fuji is right there in the background, and the finish usually breaks down into chaos. Disqualifications, interference… protecting both guys. The result didn’t matter.

The moment did.

Because deep down, those fans knew—even if nobody was saying it out loud—that this might be the last time they were ever going to see Hulk Hogan like this.

That’s what makes these photos special. This isn’t prime Hogan anymore. This is something different. A victory lap. A goodbye. A global star still drawing at a level nobody else could touch.

When that tour ended in early August 1993, Hogan was gone. No more WWF matches. No more Hulkamania. Not until 2002.

Huge thank you to Harry Stöckl for allowing us to share these. These aren’t just great photos… they’re time capsules from the very end of an era.

And if you were in that building in Vienna that night, you didn’t just see a match. You saw the last ride.
