Paul Heyman is a enigma. As WrestleMania 40 soon will be here, this year with Philadelphia as the host city in early April, given all the storylines in work for the big show, Heyman is who I think of most. Why? Because, the Heyman that I know is a survivor. For nearly 40 years, in multiple roles, the wrestling business has felt the influence of the kid from tony Westchester, New York.

When I look back at my three years being around Extreme Championship Wrestling, mainly when they came through New England, I'm amazed that I survived. It was an exciting time, both from a journalist's perspective, and personally, from the friendships made. But, I'm also ashamed of what I saw after the matches, in the motels and in cars riding to the towns with some of the in-ring performers.

It's hard to believe that it's been nearly a half century since I first met the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

I've been around the world of professional wrestling long before it became the darling of cable TV.

New York has been good to me

one of the greatest of all time is going on tour

New York just understood Superstar Billy Graham

Wrestling is pretty ridiculous as-is, but this was too much.

Roy Wayne Farris, better known as legendary wrestler Honky Tonk Man from the days of the World Wrestling Federation, is bringing his traveling 'tell all' comedy show to the Utica area this Sunday. Farris, 64, was on the Keeler in the Morning radio show on Friday talking about his Shake Rattle and Roll Show at 4:20 p.m. on Sunday at the Club Monarch on Erie Street in Yorkville.
