For all of the hardcore wrestling fans - I went to Wrestlemania 10 with Burt Reynolds ... helped create an angle that turned into a WWE Champion and Vince flew me out to have dinner at his house and then on the road with him for a journey I talk about in this new book I wrote about my former teacher, mentor, boss and friend! If you love Wrestling or Burt Reynolds you will love this! Lots of pics too! www.amazon.com/Because-Burt-Mark-Fauser/dp/0999212532 |

Very cool. I've heard some good things about Burt as a person so it's especially nice to hear it from someone that knew him personally.
Given all the celebrities in wrestling who appeared just for the money and some who ruined the big show for the fans, by not being fans of wrestling themselves, it's good to know (as we've heard for many years) that Burt was an actually wrestling fan. I will definitely have to get a copy of your book to read more!

Thanks Jason! Burt loved the wrestlers and they loved him! Many of them later did the longest yard with him. Growing up I was a huge wrestling fan so getting to go our with the former VP and a former WWF Champion and pitching them something that happened and made history ... then being backstage for Wrestlemania 10 - then Vince flying me in and spending three hours he and Linda at their house was surreal! Wrestling fans I think would truly enjoy it!

It was a sad day when Burt passed.
I still love seeing his guest spot on the Golden Girls episode when he goes out with Sophia! Ha ha

You are all awesome! One chapter is devoted to wrestling and WrestleMania! The inside stuff to me is cool which is why I thought I would share with you! The fact that history was made based on a pitch I gave them and Vince then flew me out to have dinner at his house for three hours was beyond cool for my fellow wrestling friends! I went on the road with them for 4 days and then to a later Wrestlemania in Anaheim. Burt really loved Piper! Burt was a fan of Flair's and so many others. I met Hulk Hogan on the Set of Evening Shade - great guy! Lots of pics!

Vince is good man. When I was about 10/11 years old back in '06 my mom worked in Beth Israel in union square and she's someone that makes the appointments and blah blah blah long story short, she saw a name that was coming in the next day and she told me and it was Vince. I skipped school to go sit at her job and in came Vince and I was star struck. I sit and hear his convo about how his shower was clogged and something about breakfast and heard him say "my wife Linda" and young me is just staring at him lol. He gets called in and I wait for him to come out and I just go out up him with the 51 Worst offenders edition of the WWE magazine and he signed it and patted me on my head and it was just a surreal moment I'll never forget.

Vince was very cool! I'm a BobbY heenan guy it wasn't me.  We saw her the next day at Wrestlemania ... she was fun! Her and Freddy Blasse were enjoyably crazy! |
