Brian Solomon, who joins us here on Busted Open.

Brian, thank you so much for the – it's a long time coming, my friend.

Thank you so much for the time this morning.

I know.

It's my pleasure to be here.

I'm glad to be on here. It's my first time. And I know both you guys, so I'm happy to be here.

Thank you for the book. I appreciate it. I'm on chapter eight, enjoying it and enjoying the life of

Gorilla Monsoon, a man that I met a couple of times, but I think you really

did a great dive like you always do with your books into his life through a lot of great

interviews and stuff like that. Thank you. That was the hardest part, honestly, was getting all

the interviews and getting people together. As you know, you know, writing a book like this with

somebody who's been gone a long time, sometimes it's hard to get people who are still around and

who have those memories. And so when I find them, I really cherish them. I mean, I talk to so many

people for this book. And Brian, you're a historian when it comes to professional wrestling, one of the

best that's out there.
