Wrestling Magazine Cover of the Week
November 1989
This was my favorite magazine when it was first published because of the "Phantom of the Ring" column. That column was the magazine version of "The Wrestling Observer" and gave us tidbits on the real lives of wrestlers. This was something I never seen before and was in love with it from the start.

Daniel Bryan wins WWE Championship in shocking fashion
November 13th 2018
Daniel Bryan wins the WWE Championship by pinning AJ Styles on Smackdown Live.
I was expecting a "Dusty Finish" and they would give the belt back to AJ for some reason but it was clean and Daniel turned "heel" and it was shades of the American Dragon. Now he is set to face Brock Lesnar this Sunday at Survivor Series.
